One of my closest friend is a guy. We're almost like brother and sister. We talk a lot over the phone and sometimes even go out, just to eat lunch or have snacks. He has a new girlfriend now. He really loves her. I think she's great but I noticed that she seems jealous of my friendship with my friend. Should I stay distant to my friend for a while so I will not be a cause of any argument or fight between them?

If you are that close, confirm your suspicions with your friend first. If it is true then tell him what you're going to do. This way he'll understand what you're about to do and not lose his friendship in the process.

Does your friend know that his lady love is jealous of you?
Tell him that before she leaves him.
Oh...This is a real big problem when you find a dear friend in a guy.
Try not to hang around with him when she is around. I know it is too hard to stop when your friend is right in front of you and you cannot be yourself.

Or book time slots...I know you also have some right on him. So, make sure that every day you would meet him, talk to him...from this time to this time. And rest of the day, let him be with that girl.

Even I had this problem...I told my friend bluntly that his girl has problems with me and I cannot tolerate when she makes her jealousy apparent on her face. I told him that I need his time..coz I was the first person to know him and I have the moral right. I dont know how he managed to keep up his girl friend and married her later.

You should be happy coz you know about your friend more than his girl does.

Yeah. Maybe you should try to get close to the girlfriend. Try to make her feel that you're not a threat to their relationship. Tell your friend also not to talk so much about you with his girlfriend. Maybe this is also why she's jealous. You are always in the scene even you are not physically present.

There are just girlfriends who are the jealous type. As a true freind, you may want to stay apart with your friend. But make him understand why you are doing this.

If you're sure his girlfriend is jealous tell your friend about it. Just tell him not to confront his girlfriend about it. Tell him that you should limit spending time together now so that his relationship will not have problems.

its not you who is creating the problem. yous friends girlfriend should try to analyse the relationship between you and your friend and just try to go alog with you as you have been his friend for a long time.

You need to do what you can to try to include her in the friendship, until she is ok with it. She may never be happy with the idea of a male/female friendship, but if she feels it is ok for her to join in she will be less jealous.
