Question Posted Wednesday January 16 2008, 11:32 am
ok...so I am with this guy that I really do love but he has 2 big problems...his friends. When its just me and him together its great, but when we are around his friends they are always "cutting on me" and just being flat out jerks. My boyfriend tells them to stop but they don't listen and now him and his friends are fighting and I feel like its my fault. What should I do about all this??? Because I am trying to make it work but it just doesn't seem like they are willing to be nice to me. Plus I haven't done anything to them that would make them be mean towards me.
what i did was, when they started being rude, i just simply asked/said "is that really necessary? i mean, seriously, do you not have anything else to do to make yourself feel better than diss me because i'm his girlfriend, and you dont have one?" that should shut them up. if it doesn't, then grab your boyfriend's hand and just walk away. they should get the picture that they're just being immature.
as for the being in the cause of their fighting, it's his friend's problem, not yours. you didn't do anything wrong. i know how you feel. over time, his friends has begun to really accept me more and now they're cool with me. so maybe just giving it time will help.

Tell them how you feel and ask them why they are that way twords you and maybe you can see where they are comeing from and they can see where you are coming from and you guys can maybe come to an agreement.

My advice is to not be with your bf when he is with his friends once in a while you should but not all the time. Im possitive in a couple of days they will notice and not be mean to you. Best of luck [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]

Ignore them. Letting them under your skin is giving them satisfaction they don't deserve.
It is their fault they are at odds with your boyfriend, not yours. So stop thinking like that.
In order to be respectful to your boyfriend, they have to at the very least be decent to you, even if they don't like you.
They are the one's responsible for putting wrinkles in the friendship.
Let your boyfriend handle it. They're HIS so-called friends.

If his "friends" don't respect his relationship then the aren't his friends but that's for him to figure out. Just be a good girlfriend and support him.

They are jealous becasue he has exactly what they want. A way to get rid of that is by making fun of you and just making you feel uncomfortable. A way to get them to stop is to come up with some comebacks of your own like "really is that the best you can do". Don't let it get to you because they use that to do more of it. Be the bigger person and talk to them and your boyfriend. Tell them you guys are friends thats fine with me. Try and help solve the conflict. Tell your boyfriend I don't care if they make fun of me becasue if they do it to me then I will do it to them. The only way to get thm to stop and resolved is if you take the effort to prove you really don't care what they have to say. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
