Flaunting new relationship ....

22 replies

greenglasss · 28/06/2022 09:51

Had a little argument with friend.
Two years ago I went through a awful time.
A ex (narcissistic ) put me through hell
Then he moved on...so I got over it.
My friend doesn't agree with my new relationship.
We have been together a year now and are happy.
I put pics on Facebook and also my profile pic of us.
She says I'm only doing it to make my ex jealous...because I have his best friend on my Facebook.
I honestly don't care...maybe at first I thought that but now I literally don't care.
My friend thinks I need to come off social media because I look silly "flaunting" my new relationship just for a reaction blah blah
She's driving me mad
Aibu posting pics etc ?

She's not your friend.

cushioncovers · 28/06/2022 09:53

She's jealous that you are happy

KatherineJaneway · 28/06/2022 09:54

My friend doesn't agree with my new relationship.

What are her reasons?

CounsellorTroi · 28/06/2022 09:54

She’s the one who sounds jealous. Why doesn’t she “agree” with your new relationship?

Shoxfordian · 28/06/2022 09:54

She doesn’t sound like a good friend

Misstes · 28/06/2022 09:55

It’s been 2 years I doubt he even cares or bothers to look. Your friend is being over dramatic.

greenglasss · 28/06/2022 09:56

She says I'm clearly doing it because ex has a new girlfriend.
Because at the beginning I was looking to meet someone to make ex jealous ...but after date 1 I knew I had met someone a million times better.
She thinks I post pics of us so it gets back to ex (her words ) she can't understand that I am genuinely happy and maybe at first that thought crossed my mind but not now.

It's because me and have ex have lots of mutual friends on fb and she thinks it's so he will see if I tag other friends in posts etc
Tbh she's thought so much in depth and analysing it ...more than I ever would

Are you never allowed to "be in a relationship" on Facebook? Is there a certain amount of time she will find acceptable before you can go "Facebook public"?

She sounds jealous and/or unhinged. Tell her to get lost.

KatherineJaneway · 28/06/2022 10:01

She sounds overly invested in your Facebook status. I'd tell her not to discuss it with you further and shut her down on the subject.

Watchkeys · 28/06/2022 10:02

Friends respect each other. She's not your friend.

Misstes · 28/06/2022 10:04

I think she is over thinking how important your relationship is to other people. Most people will be happy your happy but think no more of it.

cushioncovers · 28/06/2022 10:07

Some people are friends with you when you are not doing so well as it suits them, when you finally come out the other side and become happy with your life they don't like it. I've had a few friends like this over the years.

greenglasss · 28/06/2022 11:12

I think she enjoyed me being miserable
I don't think a few pics is even "flaunting " anything.

Your 'friend' is a complete cunt and you need to ditch her.

You split with your ex two years ago and you've been with your current partner for a year - totally normal to have photos of you and your boyfriend on social media when you've been together for a year! How long does she expect you to hide him for?! She's nuts.

Also, even if you were doing it to make your ex jealous ... it's none of her business.

BackToTheTop · 28/06/2022 11:28

WTF had it got to do with her what you put on fb

romdowa · 28/06/2022 11:34

Tell her to mind her own bloody business

jeaux90 · 28/06/2022 11:40

Does your friend try to control you in other ways too OP?

Cakecakecheese · 28/06/2022 11:46

Block or delete her from Facebook then she doesn't have to see this so called flaunting.

greenglasss · 28/06/2022 11:54

I was thinking of blocking her from seeing certain posts then it won't bother her as much
I don't know what it is tbh
I think she's worried this whole relationship is just to get a reaction from my ex and that I don't love my boyfriend

This all sounds very high school....just tell her to mind her own business and keep her beak out.

Agree. You both sound very immature. Why do you care what your friend thinks? Surely you are a grown woman with your own mind?
