Have you ever had a friends new bf/gf ruin your relationship?
My best friend of 6 years and I have been there for each other through a lot. Recently he started dating this girl whom I dislike. She seems nice on the outside but she can be very snippy and possessive with him. My friend has many female friends and his new gf seems to be very insecure about it. We all went out one day and I was ordering a coffee. I turned to him and his new girl and asked if they wanted anything and very nasty she said to me" No, we're good. We're ordering together." I was like "okay." and I walked away from her. He didn't say anything because he is one of those "don't wanna rock the boat" types. I told him and he just laughed it off. Then a few weeks ago my guy and I were having some major problems and I needed to stay at my best friends house (he owns his own house) in the guest room until things blew over. I asked him and he said he would have to consult her! His girl of 6 minutes gets priority over me, his friend of six years. BTW we never dated and she has nothing to worry about b/c if i wanted him I could have had him years ago. Anyway, I understand she might not like another girl staying at her b/f's place but you can't ditch you friends because some girl comes along. She is slowly taking over his house and his life and most of his other friends don't like her either and feel he is letting her take over everything.
Have you had a similar situation? Any advice would be appreciated :)

Well my best friend(the one with me in my picture xD)had a boyfriend who I just could not get on with at all and I hated him so much ! (kind of like the Lauren Conrad/Heidi and Spencer situation in The Hills lol)
When me and her were trying to talk, he'd always be with her, we'd never have any time to talk or have fun like we used to.
But now they have broken up and don't talk anymore, so we have our old friendship back now ! =]
Btw don't worry about the situation you're in, all relationships come to an end at some point, especially if she's this type of person. I don't think you should tell him that you don't like her cos you will sound jealous. If she is mean to you at any point just put your foot down an lay down the rules !
Good Luck =]

Honestly, you sound a bit jealous too.
If she is living with him, or staying with him most of the time, it makes sense to run it by her. She shouldn't have the last word, but never-the-less, she should have a say.
You have to realize that if a girl starts dating a guy and he has some close friends who are girls, that is something that one could be typically jealous or weary about. She is his gf and she wants to be the closest girl to him. Like it or not, that is going to create some kind of competition for his attention between you and her.
But if she has nothing to worry about, have you made this clear? Have you sat down and talked to her about it?
I know it is hard for you because he is a close friend, and similar things happen whether regardless of the sexes of the two friends. When someone starts dating someone seriously, and it sounds like they are at least somewhat serious, they tend to become the top person in each others' lives. I think you might be reacting to being knocked off the "top person of his life." It is hard to tell from the outside and I don't mean to attack you personally, I am just calling it like I see it. I have seen it before in my own life (I started dating one of my good friends. The problem was her best friend had a crush on me and my best friend had a crush on her. . .you can imagine what a mess that created, but we are basically married now and we are all still friends).
So really, my suggestion is to you is to make sure it isn't YOU being a bit bitchy which is putting the other girl off. Also, talk to her about it. Assure her that you two are just friends and that you don't want to lose him as a friend and that you don't want to make her uncomfortable either. You can't expect him to be in total control of their relationship, so you should do your part to try and make it work as best as possible.

well you have to understand her situation too
i would be like her if i found out his "girl best friend" of 6 years was staying over at his house because she was angry, and confused i would want my boyfriend to tell me at least lol
but she doesn't have to be so mean, she should be less possessive and tell her boyfriend how she feels. And its his decision if he wants to date a clingy brat, not yours. You two will obviously still be friends, but if you two are just friends then why is it bothering you so much?

Yes I have. But she is in his life now and sometimes that's the way it goes. She is important to him now and he has to make a choice. You may come in second. If you are a real friend, don't make him choose between you or her because she will win. I know it hurts but he did have to make sure it was ok with her first. Sorry. Guys and girls to crzy things when they think they are in love. He will learn.

say to him "if you wanna let your girlfriend ruin your life and take it over then do it! but im not going to be here to watch"!.
storm out and don`t look back til he comes to his senses.
or
kill his girlfriend with kindness in-front of him and then if she ever wants to say anything bad about you he will then realize that you are nice to her and she is lying and will see you were right
and i have had these problems too suddenly your friend doesn't`t want to bother with you.
you have to hold out or you`ll just be giving her what she wants and then she will do it to all his other friends. Good luck!!.

yes i have in fact almost all the time. but for this you dont need to be jealous you need to stand out. tell your friend like how much you love her/him. then when you tell him he could spread rumors about that and BAM! that gives you support because when your gf/bf finds out he will be all like he really loves me. but if it doesnt work talk seriously with your boyfriend/girlfriend and privately about this. or you can try and let your friend see other girls. >:{) lol

Oh yeah, when i was dating this girl my bestfriends were being total jackass's. they told her a bunch of bullshit saying that I called her a slut and a whore and much more, when i never did. I pretty much ruined our relationship after a month.
Stay out of your friends relationships, it is their problem
