to think that my friend keeps trying to ruin my happiness

I have a previous thread about my best friend thinking it was "weird" to not have sex with someone after 6 weeks of dating, that he probably thought we were just friends etc etc. (it's here anyway www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3666570-to-be-upset-by-my-friends-response-to-the-man-I-am-dating)

Anyway, over the weekend the man I was dating asked me to be in a relationship with him Smile

I am ridiculously happy walking around with a huge smile etc., my friend kept prodding me as to why I was smiling. Told her that we were "official"

She didn't say anything apart from "oh right". I took all your comments on board, and kind of brushed it off as maybe jealously? Towards the end of our meet up she said "it's long distance you know, it will never work unless you move in together, which you shouldnt do"

We do live in different cities. He drives, so it takes him just under an hour to get to me. I don't, so maybe up to 1hour 30 on a train.

But, we have made plans well in advance up to October, and we will be spending each weekend together! I also work in between locations and he has already said that he is happy for me to come in the week, whenever!

So obviously we don't live 5 minutes from each other- but even if we did, we're both so busy it's near impossible that I would actually see him anymore than I can at the minute!

AIBU to think it's not a real LDR? And is this another attempt by friend to ruin things?

I hope you have some nicer friends who are genuinely excited for you. I had a friend like yours and I've had to let her go as she's only happy when my life isn't going well, so since I met my awesome boyfriend she can't stand it. It's a shame but so much nicer without all the negativity.
