dear liz,
I have a friend and we are like sooooooo close. Anyways she has another friend which is fine with me, but now she's going on this trip with her for a couple of days. And I'm like really jealous. Even though I'm out of town, I went with her on the same trip a couple of years ago and now I'm just extremely jealous. I'm not the kind of person who thinks my friends can only hang out with me but that doesn't stop my jealously! What do I do? Thanks
-jealous friend

Fish answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:48 pm: So..is your jealousy partly because you don't think she's spending enough time with you? Or that you think you're a better friend and deserve to go on the trip more than the other friend? I'd probably be jealous too, and I'm not really the jealous type either. Hmmm...tell your friend how you feel, but before you do, find out what's causing you to be jealous. If you and your friend are really close, she should understand where you're coming from. Also, try getting to know her other friend and see if you guys are compatible. You never know, maybe next year all of you will be going on this trip. Stop me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you feel like your friend is drifting off into some other relationship that doesn't involve you. Just tell your friend how you feel and try to figure out a way to make it all work. [ Fish's advice column | Ask Fish A Question ]
