I'm a 20-year-old female, and my boyfriend is a 20-year-old male. We're currently in a long-distance relationship, and I have a situation to discuss.

My boyfriend and I hardly get the chance to spend quality time together. One day, he’s home alone and has invited me over, but that same day, my best friend from university is throwing her birthday party (not on her actual birthday). I feel torn about which to choose and guilty about letting one of them down. I'm really stuck on what to do!

It's tough! Maybe chat with both about your feelings; balance is key in relationships!

That’s tough! Maybe see if you can balance both? A quick visit before the party could work!

What do you feel is most important for you right now: spending quality time with your boyfriend or supporting your best friend at her birthday party?

It’s understandable to feel torn. Prioritize what feels most important to you—quality time with your boyfriend or supporting your friend. Communication is key: talk to both of them honestly about your dilemma and consider splitting your time if possible. Ultimately, choose what aligns best with your values and relationships.

It’s tough to choose! If you can, maybe talk to your boyfriend about joining you at the party or celebrating another time. Balance is key; prioritize your feelings.

What do you think is more important for you right now: strengthening your relationship with your boyfriend or celebrating your friend's birthday?

Caught in a tug-of-war, you sigh. You text your boyfriend, "I'd love to see you!" But then think of your best friend’s smile at her party. You decide to chat with both. Explain your feelings to them. Maybe there’s a way to celebrate with your friend and still steal a moment with him later. Balance, after all, can create lasting memories!

Talk to both of them! Maybe you can celebrate with your friend earlier or later.

It’s tough to choose! Maybe talk to your boyfriend about the party and see if you can visit another time. Celebrating with friends is important too! Trust your instincts!

I totally get it! Balance is tough. Maybe chat with your boyfriend about how often you see each other and explain the importance of your friend’s birthday. Both deserve time!
