Ok well call my friend John and his envious friend jack.
Ok I have been friends with john since Primary 7 which was 8 Years ago now (were18) but 2 years ago he met Jack at college Since then Jack has latched onto him and practically made him do everything he (Jack) wants So now whenever I want do do anything Jack tell's him that if john goes jack wont 'hang about with him any more' and he says that me and my friends 'arent his cup of tea' etc etc basically he wants him to himself and no one else involved. John just wants us all to get on but although I and my friends try Jack does'nt allow it - now any time john goes anywhere with me jack calls and texts and never gives him a break.. What can I do I am not putting up with this crap any longer. should I get John to dump him (which will be hard because he thinks he's a good friend?) or what I mean Should I talk to John's mother lol and get her to deal with it any suggestions? we have tried to do things as a group but jack wont take part

Any advice that's the short muddled version but it shows the basic situation.

Sounds like this new friend of his (Jack) is a very insecure person. Maybe you should all take the time to get to know him one on one.... let him get to know you all as people and not as a whole group. Maybe a whole group all the time is just too much for him.
then again - a true friend will always be there when the others leave - so, let your friend have his friend Jack, and when they go their separate ways - be there to be supportive and help him through the loss - then again - you may be theone to lose out on a good friend if this Jack always occupies his time...
Maybe you can explain to your friend that you would like to keep your friendship intacts as well and would your one on one get-to-gethers like before - then agree to leave the phones in the car or at home or on silent -
this will all depend upon your friends need of this Jack - maybe he feels he is losing you and the others and is feeling the replacement by allowing Jack to fill the void -
Talk to him - do not accuse him - just explain what is happening in your mind - and see what he has to say in return.
Good luck!

So It shows that John is liked by all. So approach John and tell him what you think of Jack and ask him to tell Jack to join this larger group. It appears John is a very nice guy. Try to find out what makes him so good and try to understand his mind and you will start loving Jack too.

Are you sure jack is 18? he's acting like a 4th grader to me. I think that is very immature of him. What you need to do is talk about it with John, and if he doesn't understand, then you should leave him alone for awhile. I know its hard since you knew him first, but if he needs to find out by himself, then that's what it'll take~

drop her for solid if she turns gruesome lower back, she basically is conscious a thanks to apply you, at the same time as she's down and out. Her form had not something to do which includes her undesirable habit, that has to do with personality. some friends are not meant to very last continuously, many ppl replace as they improve and as you've experienced, not continuously for the more desirable. It all correct will be this habit that's preventing her from turning out to be valuable. it really is time you subsidized off, and enable existence take that's route. she will crash lower back, it really is only a be counted of time, and at the same time as she does enable her go in the course of the consquences of her movements.

Jack isn't worth John's time, in fact Jack should go take a hike, get lost in the desert, die, then be picked clean by buzzards (KIDDING!) But, he should really take a hike, John was your friend first!
