AIBU Jealous of her

Boyfriend has a best friend. Nothing would ever happen with them but my body language and the way I feel is giving off Jealousy. This girl doesn’t like me because I pulled a sickie at work, which yes I acknowledged I shouldn’t of done it, but surely everyone does at some point in their working lives. She branded me a liar and says she doesn’t have liars as friends. She said she would block me to which I said “fine” and she did. She has since unblocked me. I am fine with the texting but it has been constant today. Again, nothing would happen they are extreme polar opposites, she just sort of mentors (?) him. I just want his attention I don’t mind texting now and again but not constantly. She doesn’t like me which makes it worse. I was open saying it makes me feel jealous, that I can’t help it!!!! But he basically threw a tantrum and said “feels like I can’t talk to her now”. Is it wrong to just pay a bit more attention to me than her and his other friends?! I don’t mind texting but not when he is glued to the phone!!! So annoyed, it’s making me want to tell him to go home and leave me alone!!!!

You say your 26. But you are obviously 16. Gosh your post is so juvenile Grin. Your bf's bestie is being rediculous not liking you for the reason you told
But also your boyfriend is not boyfriend material and you should just listen to everyones advice here instead of shutting it down. Get out of this "relationship"/highschoolromance Wink

grow up for gods sake!

Shes rude and hostile with you. If your boyfriend cannot see that, then he is not the man for you.
I think you should dump him. I think their friendship is weird and inappropriate. I would be jealous too

She’s blocked you for pulling a sickie at work. Asif she is that bothered by it!! What a cow and I’d dump your bf as well coz he doesn’t sound like he has your back

What if the sickie wasn't at work...

Vulpine · 28/06/2019 07:24

Not everyone pulls sickies

I understand why you woukd jealous OP. It seems perhaps this behaviour won't change anytime soon.

I think that although you do sound incredibly young, like you've taken your mums account here to post, and what you're saying doesn't sound likely, who falls out with someone becaus they took a sickie for example, then if you're for real and asked for help why should you not get it.

Basically he won't prioritise his friend over you. So you need to decide whether you are ok with this or not, and if not, then simply end the relationship.

Jealousy is a terrible thing that eats away at you and will kill the relationship anyway. So either make your peace with the fact he has a female friend, or walk away.
