She had done so many things to me behind my back but I was always in denial and took her side because "friendship and love conquer all" but not when its a one way street. Try telling her something while she's doing it, don't let her do it! She knows she can take advantage of you or at least that's what it seems like. And how do you know she's "jealous"?
SecretDreamer95 answered Saturday January 9 2010, 7:19 pm: 'best friends' as a matter of fact DO get jealous of each other.
Okay, so this is going to sound mean but it worked for me. i had friends that didnt want me hanging out with other ppl and so on and so fourth at first i wouldnt do it to keep peace but then after.. i did everything that bugged them because in the end they started to realize that i am my own person and i am going to have a life! try it and see if it works because if you dont you wont be get anywhere in life without having a jealous person bring youdown! let me see how it works there's probably more things you can do . ;) let me know hehe..

fgcugirl answered Saturday January 9 2010, 11:55 am: Are you sure she is jealous of you? Maybe she gets pissed at you because you think she is jealous of you. Bestfriends arent jealous of each other and dont accuse each other of being jealous. Your not bestfriends. Sorry If I sound rude
xxemilyfeil answered Friday January 8 2010, 10:34 pm: i dont blame you for getting annoyed. it seems like when you confront her, she wants to change, but once you've taken her back, she just does the same thing to you over and over again, which isnt what a real 'best friend' does. i would try doing the same thing she does to you, to her, just maybe less extreme, and see how she likes it. sit down and have a serious conference with her. a quick talk and "makeup" session wont work. you need to tell her exactly whats bothering you and what you want her to do to change.
