So I’ve recently started talking to someone (a female, I am bi) but since day one her best friend has caused issues. It started because we had been speaking 3/4 weeks and I hadn’t met this person face to face yet (I’m a single parent and my child had school holidays and then was on and off vomiting for 2 weeks so was home from school and the couple of days I did have free the other person was working and it’s hard to take a spontaneous day off in her work place - catering for events) and since then it’s been one thing after the other, apparently her friend isn’t sure about me because she thinks I’m too much (it’s my sense of humour which is very similar to the person I’m speaking to) and she thinks I’m not good enough for her friend because it took me a month to meet face to face (for reasons above which she knows about) and apparently that shows I don’t put in any effort etc.
The woman I’m speaking to has already told her to stop doing this because she knows my reasonings and is very understanding of the situation I’m in - I’ve always been very honest of what I can give to somebody and never gave false expectations etc - which she accepted and chose to continue things with me regardless and we get on extremely well and make each other very happy - but her best friend is continuously trying to put things in her head about me and saying things about me and now her partner (who I’ve never even met) has started stalking my social media pages and telling her who I follow, what I’ve been commenting on etc (nothing inappropriate it’s just to shit stir basically).
Even though I potentially do see a future here, it’s such an immature headache and drama (we are all the same age - early 30’s) and it’s just not something I feel I should have to or want to deal with - but equally I know it’s not the person who I’m speaking to fault because she has been friends with her for a very long time and I would never ask her to choose and want to cause their friendship to break down because that wouldn’t be fair - but WIBU to let her and this opportunity go essentially because this is just too much to deal with?
