Why isn’t my friend happy about my relationship?

I am long term (mostly happily) single.

A few months ago I met someone who I really like, although we’re taking it slowly. Anyway, last night I introduced him to three of my closest friends. Today, they were telling me in our WhatsApp chat that they’d liked him, got on with him etc., but then one friend said ‘he’s very egotistical though’, and ‘are you sure you’re happy and this is what you want?’

With the last man I started dating she told me she liked him but he ‘was a bit overweight’. She’s had similar comments about other men I’ve dated over the years.

After being single for so long, why isn’t she happy me? It’s like she’s trying to put me off. We’re very close, went to school together, and she’s always been in relationships so it’s not that she wants us to be single together.

She likes you being single. You finding a partner has upset her status quo. She feeds her ego off your singleness.
