A fair weather friend, is a friend who is only your friend when it is best for them. So "jenny is only friends with susie when her cute boyfriend is around" is a good example. This in my opinion is rude and wrong.
A fair weather friend is one who is a great friend when things are going well, but who doesn't want to hang out with you when things are bad. A fair-weather friend will just blow you off until things are good again. It is difficult for some people to deal with anything negative, but that is part of any relationship. None of us are happy all the time.
Calling someone a fair-weather friend means they are only there for you when things are going well, but are not around when you need support during tough times. In other words, they are not reliable or dependable in times of need.

Fair weather. Someone who will be around as long as things are nice and easy but if things get rough, they will bail on you.
A fair weather friend is well a friend that you may think is a good friend but then as soon as your life is going as bad and you need a good friend for help and support he ditches and leaves you. If not forever at least until the "weather" is going good again. Example: I thought John would always stick beside me but when I was in trouble and needed help it turned out that he only a fair weather friend.
