Strikes me, looking at it from the wisdom of my old age, that it might be time to move on to some new, slightly less needy, friends... I have had to do that a few times over the years, as I realised life is very short and I only wanted to spend precious leisure time with people that really rock my world...
Is quite hard to do, but so much better than sticking with toxic mates because it is too scary to change things !
By the way Emma when are all those Essex girls coming to Dublin for a weekend and whereabouts will they all be (well Temple Bar more than likely) so i can tell all my mates to offer up a big cead mile failte![]()
OMG, what is she, 9 years old?Sounds like you are spending a ton of time together already, surely if she really is your friend she would be encouraging you to do what you want and need...

Seems to have worked out ok @madwhitegiantMy missus had the same sort of stuff when she started seeing me. (I don't think they were jealous of her being with me!) They couldn't accept they we used and still do everything together. Missus still used to see them but was a lot happier in herself and they used to come out with stuff like 'all our lives ain't as perfect as yours' and sh1t like that.
One of her mates even tried finding my house to come and tell me that she was seeing someone behind my back and she had never even met me or knew me. She used to spend all her time with my missus and never used to like her being with anyone and was a control freak. The bird was clearly doolally and funny enough don't see her anymore which as Barry Proudfoot used to say - it's a right touch!!
Basically your mates is jealous of your happiness, but that's women for ya!
