Bestfriend Attention vs. Girlfriend Attention

I put it in this section because its concerning my friend and not my relationship.

Ok, so to start off, i've been dating AAA for about 2 months now and we're fine everythings great, but one of my closest female friends BBB always acts weird around me now and we always have little fights that usually blow over in a few days and everything is back to normal. Before i went out with AAA, BBB had got out of a long relationship with someone and had been single for about a month and told me that she had liked me for a few months but i just thought she was looking for a rebound guy and i was there for her so basically i didnt act apon it and asked AAA out a few days later.

Well BBB and I are still great friends now but whenever im out in a group thing wether it be at school or if we go to the movies whatever she (BBB) always gives me the cold shoulder or will get upset if i spend time with AAA and not with her. Last week about 5 people came over to my place to just watch movies hang out after exams too cool off whatever, and i spend most of that night with AAA but still tried to give her some attention but still she got upset as always. When one of BBB's other close friend (CCC) got close with (DDD), BBB also gave CCC a cold shoulder because of... what i assume... is that CCC didnt give BBB all the attention.

While she was going out with her ex she used to spend all her time with him instead of me and CCC but we allowed/accepted it because they were going out and they just wanted time to together but now she wont do the same for us. Its fustrating.

Basically what im asking is how can i convey to BBB that just because im going out with AAA doesnt mean that im not gonna talk to BBB anymore. And is what she doing common/allowed cause i feel like im getting into trouble for spending time with my GF

Re: Bestfriend Attention vs. Girlfriend Attention

well i think shes BBB is an attention seeker and i dont no wat to tell u wat to do about tht i mean soon the little fights r gonna get old and there gonna get bigger
shes probably jealous because she likes u or she probably feels ur choosing ur girl over her and she probably thinks tht ur gurl is a bitch ot a whore because shes a girl and she wants ur attention and she jealous
u might wanna talk to her before it gets out of hand and u lose ur friendship with her
and tht will SUCK

You shouldn't have assumed to be honest. You are her friend, friends talk, you should have pursued the issue and asked her more about her feelings towards you, her ex, and her current thoughts.

But, from the rest of your story, BBB seems like an attention seeker, maybe you need to sit down with her and tell her your concerns, ask her what is up and if you have done something wrong, be sincere about it, it seems to be the best way without pissing her off.

Re: Bestfriend Attention vs. Girlfriend Attention

When i tried talking to BBB about it, she just blew it off and told me i was just the rebound and that i was there when her relationship went down the crapper. i wasnt going to say that i wasnt a rebound guy because i didnt want to seem full of myself. So i dropped it, BBB is the type of girl where if she doesnt want to talk about it, she wont until shes ready or just wont ever. If you do try and make her talk about it she usually gets defensive and shut off completely.

I have talked to her about... her feelings towards me, her ex and the currents thoughts. Sorry if i didnt make clear that we tell each other alot. She said that when her ex dumped her, i was her number 1 guy and it upset...? her that she wasnt my number 1 girl. Because of her attention seeking behaviour it pisses her off and as i said before, and we get into little fights that dont last longer than a few days. I dont want her to like me and if she does its gonna drive me away from her which is fustrating.

Everytime i go down and ask her whats wrong shes blows it off as if its nothing she wont open up because basically she hates being open about her relationship feelings. So she wont tell me whats up and the only thing she tells me is that shes annoyed about how im always with AAA, but whenever i spend time with her she always mocks me and tells me how i shouldnt be around her because i have a girlfriend now. *fustration*

But yeah BBB is pretty out of control with attention seeking but i dont know how to let her see that just cause im with AAA doesnt mean im not gonna bail on her, but she has to know that AAA is my girlfriend and i want to spend time with AAA over her

Makes much more sense now knowing you did talk to her about it.

BBB is jealous. End of story. She wants attention, by you talking to her, she is getting that attention. But perhaps you should just one day tell her EXACTLY what you have just stated....

If she doesn't listen or talk about it, you have an immature friend, in that case you will need to consider what to do next, perhaps distancing yourself a little bit from her. Might piss her off, but your message will be clear, she needs to know how to start acting like a friend.
