I think my friend is jealous
| Wed, 08-04-2004 - 2:33pm |
I've been seeing my bf for a little over 6 months now and things are great. We have alot of fun together and I couldn't be happier.
Now that we're getting a little more serious I've started inviting him around my friends more and they all really like him for me, except for 1. She's only met him twice and he's been very friendly each time but she doesn't like him. I was her running buddy before I met him and we did alot of partying together so I think she may be jealous.
Just this past weekend a group of us went to lunch and I noticed that she was behaving very rudely, rolling her eyes or making faces when he would talk and then she got pouty and wouldn't talk to anyone or eat her lunch. Then the next day she emailed me and asked what I was doing with him and said she hates it when friends get into relationships and then there is no more fun to be had. She went on to say that he's not good enough for me because I deserve someone who is more attractive, funnier, more charming, etc and that being around him is just as irritating as someone pouring acid on her face...
I was shocked. And hurt. I know he might not be considered attractive to some people but he's beautiful to me and takes better care of me than any of the "good looking" jerks I've dated ever did.
She's been one of my best friends for years and I love her but I love him too and I feel like I'm being put in the middle. I don't know what to say to her or if I should tell him about anything she said.

On the other hand: is anyone else acting like this towards him? My best friend married this jerk that no one liked. She thought he was the ultimate, but all her family and us got really bad vibes from him and it came out later that he was a controling so and so and he abused her. I was in this woman's wedding party crying my eyes out from sadness, not joy...I've held her hand after he tried to choke her...I've sat there and supervised that she call a battered woman shelter...you know I told her she was worthy of so much better.
