Would you be upset if your best friend & your man became close friends meanwhile you fell apart? We all try to still "hang out" but I get upset they talk so often, and everybody thinks I'm crazy and obsessed about him. He tells me I'm not his mom, and to get over it - that they hardly talk & I'm making a big deal out nothing. At this point should I be trying harder to fix my friendship with her so I don't feel so "left out" and jealous? Should I just let them be, and I move on and hang out when I need to? Everyone in our group of friends seems to think I'm the only problem.

No, not cool… she was your friend initially and y’all’s relationship is falling apart?! & going to shxt … But, meanwhile they’re now best buds…& you’re being left out??!
Ummm yup, that’s an issue….not of insecurity more so the respect of it and it being appropriate?! NO! ..Would he be okay with you doing that if the situation was on the flip side?! Pretty sure it would be a big No!

I truly believe that men cannot be just friends with women. And it would be an immediate hell no if the thought even crossed my husband’s mind 🙅🏼♀️

Definitely you’re not the problem. If you’re not comfortable with them talking that much they should respect that. Trust your guts always and set proper boundaries. If she’s not backing up and respecting you then she’s not your best friend, not even your friend. And if he’s insulting you rather than listening to your feelings… babe I think is time to leave.

If she were truly a best friend she would respect the boundaries you set in your relationship and take a step back (even if there is nothing going on) so she’s not causing confusion in your household. It’s absolutely ridiculous to continue having a “friendship” with your ex best friends man but not have a relationship with her. Clearly, you did right by getting rid of her.
But here is the problem…this can get messy because he is also not respecting your feelings or the boundaries you are attempting to create in your relationship. The only difference is you are sharing a child with him, which makes decision making with him more difficult. I would no longer complain to either of them about it, but I would start separating myself from them both—silently. He clearly doesn’t respect your feelings so I would stop discussing anything with him that doesn’t revolve around your child. I would let him bring it up but don’t you dare waste your breathe on it anymore. She can kick rocks.

Hi girlies I'm new on here have the best day Donna x

Hell yeah I would be mad n I would dead both relationships too ...loyalty is everything for me

That’s not your BFF , that’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing , waiting for the opportunity to strike . She obviously wants more with him , otherwise she would have set clear boundaries. Now if he was calling her to get advice as to how to fix your relationship and their was genuine concern then maybe I’d think differently. But I can guarantee that’s not the conversation they are having .
They’ve shown you their true colors . Let trash take its self out , cut them both out of your life .

I was in this predicament and I took it to therapy. What I realized was that dynamic was too unhealthy for me and being seen as “the problem” was the problem. I wasn’t heard by either of them and positioned as overly emotional. This was some years ago. Today, they are best friends and I only talk to them if I see them by chance through a mutual person but there’s no invested interest. I took it on the chin as I don’t know why things pan out the way they do. Maybe there was something really important about their friendship in this life and that’s that. But the best thing I could do for myself was move on. It honestly took several years too. I started to develop physical signs of distress so… don’t let anyone’s opinion of what you need to do for yourself make you feel bad. 💕

agreed 💯 And That is why I said I'd be out. Loyalty is everything 💞 and once you disrespect that I'm out no coming back

Naaah. If she was your friend first your not wrong to feel a way about it. It may just be friendly but for him to want you to accept it is weird. Trust your intuition.

Weird everyone in your group thinks your the problem, pretty much a no brainer from me, I'd be P****d!

I think I saw you post this in a Facebook group I’m in? You’re not the problem. She’s not your friend and he’s not worth your time. Your feelings should matter to him.
