I met my girlfriend 6 months ago. We got into a relationship after 6 weeks.
I am struggling a bit as her friends are very protective but overly so. I’ve cried several times over this. For context she was single several years before me and many of her friends are long term single but wanting to meet someone.
one has been outright rude to me. Others have made comments about me behind my back to my girlfriend. Nothing too major but basically assuming the worst about me and being unfair assuming I’ve done something when I havnt. For example me and my friends were supposed to join her and her friends on a night out. No set time was planned it was meant to be quite casual. One of my girlfriend’s friends said to her ‘oh well she’s not coming then’. I of course arrived with my friends as planned. Another occasion I was out with her and some of her friends. Every time I looked up one of her friends was scowling at me from across the room. Why I have no idea.
it’s really getting to me. I hate feeling so unfairly judged. I almost feel like they want us to break up. It’s even made me worried that maybe my girlfriend might be saying stuff about me behind my back but not to me?
I don’t get where the hatred is coming from.
i have brought this up to my girlfriend but she just says they are being protective. I feel it’s more than that. We have been together 6 months for gods sake.
I don’t know what to do. My instinct is to talk about it with her but I’m worried she will go and mention something to her friends which will just make the problem worse. I can’t really keep going like this. We are both women btw.
