How do I tell a friend I am tired of hearing about her lovelife?

like so: “I am tired of hearing about your lovelife, there are many other things we can converse about.”

Say ‘I don’t want to talk about your love life’ seems about right.

just tell her or rudely butt in and change the subject. apparently she isn’t over it- she needs to hear this more so she will quit boring the pants off everybody

Get her to sign up for Fluther, use the send to a friend option, and send her this question (passive aggressiveness is the best!). Or you could just change the subject next time she brings it up.

Yeah, I guess you are all right. I just know she’ll be pissed, but we will just have to deal with it. It’s probably better than my resentment and her wondering why my eyes keep glazing over.
Thanks

Yea, turns out communication has a huge impact on humans. Simply tell her: “It’s not good to talk about your relationship so much, especially in front of your ex’s parents so soon.”

rudeness not required, just honesty. this will most likely start a discussion though, so i hope you don’t mind. it’s a discussion that needs to happen obviously, so help her out. you are her friend after all.

If she’s a good friend you should be able to be totally honest with her for her sake as well as yours.

If our friends won’t tell us the truth, who will?

That’s one of my criteria for true friendship among others.

If she is just a social acquaintance whom you happen to have known for a long time, then she probably will have a hissy fit and break off contact, but is that really such a loss?

I have many many people with whom I am friendly, but I can count my true friends on one hand. These are those whom I trust to be totally honest with me both positive and negative and will be there for me when it counts.

“So, your love life seems to be the only thing we talk about these days…”

I say stick it to her. I’ve got a friend sort of like this. She basically had a child that could have FOUR different fathers.
Now shes living with the “real” father (psh) and only talks about how wonderful he is. Even though he doesn’t have a job, drivers license, or take care of their child… and they’re 22.

Hm… maybe she doesn’t have anyone else to talk to about it? I would suggest approaching it nicely. Maybe say that you wouldn’t mind talking to her about private things, you just don’t want her going on and on about something like that…

Fall asleep while shes talking to you.

Suggest that she do something to dissipate all this energy. Like volunteering. Or something. It’s not the love life, it’s the self-centredness that’s getting to you, right? Yeah. She needs a hobby besides dating. And tell her you’d rather talk about something else besides her sex life.
