Not good enough for partners best friend

10 replies

Hi everyone,

So recently I have found out that my partners best friend thinks that I am not good enough for him.
My bf comes from a wealthy family, is incredibly intelligent and just generally a great guy.
However, I over heard his friend at a party one night saying that I am basically not good enough to be with him.
We don’t mix in the same social circles and our back grounds are very different.
I’m from a council estate and don’t have an amazing job… I’m assuming this is the issue?

However at a recent house party, I found myself alone with his best friend and he started to stroke my leg up and down in a sexual way.

I froze and luckily my bf walked in, but never saw what happened.

Im confused, Im not good enough for my bf but good enough for him to touch me?

@DaniiSmith, it is he who is not good enough for your BF. He is clearly not his true and loyal friend. Indeed, he is a small, mean-spirited pig who enjoys feeling superior. He is also a sexual predator and misogynist who felt entitled to degrade you by pawing your leg without consent.

Why have you not informed BF of this creep’s inappropriate touching or his trashing you as being unworthy? Please be transparent about his disgusting behavior. Intimate secrets like this are corrosive. BF deserves to know the truth about his disloyal pretend friend who has targeted and made moves on you.

You realise the creep will probably try and break you up by claiming you came on to him or is testing your loyalty.

Never be alone with this man ever!

It's shades of the awful lawyer in Pretty Woman. Do not be alone with him, tell your boyfriend, and let the chips fall where they may. You are worth more than being treated like this by the 'friend'.

Thank you for your response. It’s so silly but I have such low self esteem I worry my partner might take his friends side, or worse agree!

That didn’t even cross my mind, but could very well come true.

Tell your boyfriend what happened. If he doesn't believe you or support you - well you have saved yourself a whole lot of time wasted on a useless man.

Next time asshole friend says anything to you lower your voice and say "get the fuck away from me you creep" then smile brightly.

This is good advice if a LTR but bad if a new boyfriend

My initial instinct was that this man is testing you. Probably hoping that you'll reciprocate so he can tell his friend 'I told you so'. If it was me, id tell the 'friend' that im onto his plan, that hes never to touch you ever again or you will tell your partner.

Why? What difference would it make?

"Get the fuck away from me you creep" should be in the available vocabulary of every woman on Earth.

If your BF agrees with him on any way, shape or form then he isn’t worth the steam off your piss and you would be much better off without him
