Bestfriend Jealousy Issues?
I just started dating a boy (my first boyfriend) and my best friend keeps saying all this stuff that makes me think she is really jealous of me. She says that I have changed, she says that I never give her any attention anymore, and she always says she is going to tell my boyfriend things I do not want him to know!!! She wants me to talk about him and she wants to give me advice but when I do we always get into fights about stuff and she gets sooooo jealous and she tells him stuff I dont want him to know. I just think I need to give her space, but then she will think I am picking my boyfriend over her, which is definitely NOT TRUE AT ALL!. Anyway I just don't know what to do. Please help!

Anytime someone enters a relationship, it's difficult to find a balance between friends and the new person in your life. Make time for her, like, plan in advance and spend time with her. Talk to her about your boyfriend, but never say anything you don't like about him - always talk him up, like saying, "He's so sweet, he texts all the time, etc." That way, she'll never get mad or annoyed with him, since she has no reason to.
Fess up to you boyfriend about things that may come up, explaining your self as best as possible (I'm not sure why you don't want him to know certain things - it makes your relationship stronger to know everything, the good and the bad). It's easier coming from you then hearing it from someone else. Once you tell him, your friend no longer has the power to screw you over (as immature as she is being).
When you are with her, try not talking about him all the time. Redirect questions, ask about her, talk about clothes, TV shoes, celebrities, and anything else you use to talk about. Single girls can't handle the couple talk, it makes them sad.

Everyone changes when they meet a new person, we are constantly changing. Does she just want you to stay the same forever? One of the many ways I knew my husband was the one for me was that he made me a better person, he completes me. In my personally opinion you shouldn't date until you are ready to get married, by then you know who you are and what you are looking for so there is no chance of a random boy changing you for the worse. She does sound very angry and jealous but since you have decided to be here friend and take her for the good and the bad I would try to be a light in her life by being a good example and practice patience with her when she shows you her jealous side. Let her know that you plan on always changing and growing as a person and everyone has to learn their own lessons. http://teenadvice.about.com/od/friends/ht/jealous_...

if your on the exterior finding in, that throughout the time of itself takes a point of concentration that makes use of up your guy or woman power and components. once you opt for what you notice on the different area to be extra effective and you will't locate a excess of, it is going to reason frustration (even jeolousy) - that's the only decision open to you. although, if getting from purely one factor "A" to purely one factor "B" is all you have, there can purely be frustration to return to in case you do no longer be triumphant interior the experience.

With the recent avenues that open you additionally can discover that there is another area you may extremely be on all mutually. Diversify, or die.
