Hi all.
The title is pretty self explanatory... I'm moving to university next year because I've fallen out with so many people from my hometown. I hate this place, it's full of bad memories and i'm craving a fresh start. Moving to uni was meant to be this break until recently I found out that one of my close and only friends has a job interview in the same city.
i know what you're thinking... I should be happy that she's potentially moving... but I'm just not. I wanted to start a fresh, where no one knows me. She is a very unhappy and depressive person, and apart from her boyfriend and parents, I am the only other person she speaks too. Her boyfriend is always falling out with her and they never seem to stay together, she's always complaining to me that he's an idiot but then goes back to him and repeats the cycle! I'm so fed up of it!
She is a very demanding person and needs a lot of attention, and usually in our friendship, whatever she wants goes. I don't want to lose her as a friend because after everything I've been through she has been the only loyal person I can trust. I just wanted a fresh start and I feel like she's holding me back.
The only thing i'm holding onto (however bad this sounds) is that hopefully she won't get the job.. (it's a cabin crew job for an airline company). She hasn't got any decent work experience and no relevant qualifications, not to mention the job will probably be highly applied too because of it's nature.
If she does get the job it will be full time. The uni is about 40-50 minutes away from where she will be working, and her boyfriend is apparently going to be moving with her.. (if they don't break up for real this time).
I don't want to go to uni and have the same person texting and phoning me every 5 minutes because she wants to meet because her boyfriend has fallen out with her again or she's lonely. She knows no one in the city and this only makes me think she'll be trying to hang around with me all the time, she's not an easy person to make friends with so I doubt she'll make many friends there either.
I'm just so disheartened. I really wanted my fresh start and to begin my life to meet new people but I feel like she's following me and ruining my plans. What should I do?
