I have 2 very dear friends who I've known for over 20 years and they've always been there for me, as I have for them. I'm really struggling with this...not sure if I'm being stupidly oversensitive so would appreciate advise.
I have been seeing someone for nearly 2 years now and last night one of my friends spent quite a while telling him why she like him so much, ending with a "awww give me a hug" and they hugged. Of course I want them to get on but it felt a bit too much and I saw his eyes light up - she's younger than me and very attractive. Her boyfriend was there too so I'm probably overreacting. However, in our 20s we both crossed the line with our then boyfriends but subsequently told each other and agreed we had been silly and young and our friendship has endured.
Now I'm thinking about my other friend who, on the second meeting with my bf at her house with a few others, ended up sitting on his lap (we were all a bit drunk). It bothered me at the time because I'd never do that to someone else's man, but for the sake of friendship I've never said anything. I know they'd never do anything more, but is this level of flirting acceptable?
I can't stop thinking about these 2 silly incidents, probably made worse by the fact I've put on some weight recently and am feeling pretty crap about myself. AIBU??? Give it to me straight...I feel like there are bigger problems in the world for goodness sake, but I can't shake this horrible anxious feeling.
