Simon Syndrome

Simon Syndrome (also known as Lover Syndrome) is when someone avoids you or gives you the cold shoulder due to a significant other, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc. It also implies to people who hang out with their lover and avoid their own friends.

Friend 1: Ugh, ever since Julia got her boyfriend she's been giving me the cold shoulder and not hanging out with me or any of her other friends.

Friend 2: Oh she definitely has *Simon Syndrome*.
