Dear Diana,
I started dating my boyfriend over two years ago, and his friends have been supportive, but recently it feels like they've lost interest because I'm not the new girlfriend any more. I invited most of them to my birthday party last weekend, making sure no one was left out, but none of them bothered to let me know whether they'd come or not. In the end, no one did. The worst part: even my boyfriend did not.

Dear Mrinal,
It looks like they are not taking you seriously at all. You are putting your heart and soul in whatever you are doing, but for them it is no big deal. It is like you can do what you want, but we will do what we want. You need to make your guy realise that he can't take you for granted. Make him hear an earful and tell him that his pals and he can't just take you for a ride. More importantly, it is time you assert yourself in the relationship.
