Is my friend jealous ?

Is it Ok to spend more time with my boyfriend than with my friends? most of my friends don't mind and understand. But my best friend says Im spending more time with him than with her I told her its because she's not in relationship that she doesn't understand . Its not like I spend every second with him I see him a few times and and see her too. Is that ok to that spend more time with him? Is my friend being unfair or jealous?

Jealous. Stop being a bitch and give her some of your time.

@MarkPaul woah, Im not being a bitch , that is a little uncalled for. I was just asking for advice

@mwoodl21 Well you have a friend who feels like you have abandoned her and you are just going on and on about how unfair she is being. Try thinking outside of your own small and petty box.

I have not abandoned her. I live with her and I hang out with all the time without my boyfriend she is used to me not having a boyfriend . Why are you being so mean?

@MarkPaul and maybe I worded my question and story not well
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@mwoodl21 Because you are being mean. I'm not saying you did abandon her. I'm saying it's obvious that she FEELS like you abandoned her and you refuse to see her side of it. Why is this even an issue? Just give her some extra attention. Damn!

I'm not , I asked for advice. and I realized now I worded it wrong. You have no right to call me a bitch and say my thought process is small and petty . and I have tired to see from her side I've tired spending more time with her but for her its never enough. But thank you for making feel like a shitty human being

@mwoodl21 That's not what I am trying to do. I am just trying to get you to consider how she sees it. Why is that so bad?
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
I completely understand seeing from her side and I will do that and see what I can do to make sure she doesn't feel like that. if thats what your'e weren't trying to do then why call me a bitch and petty? I found your words very hurtful

@MarkPaul I wasn't tying to be mean I reread my story and it does sound bad and I didn't put the whole story and I probably should have
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@mwoodl21 Because I felt I needed to get your attention based on how self-absorbed it SEEMED (I'm not saying you are) you were. Maybe you're not as self-absorbed as I originally thought.

I just think as you pursue your relationship, which you are certainly entitled to do (congrats!), it's easy to ghost your friend with a shrug of your shoulder by saying she is expecting too much and she's being unfair. All she seems to want is some reassurance she is still part of your life. Why condemn her for that?

@MarkPaul I dont mean too, but she doesnt like the fact that I have a boyfriend. ( back story ) both us dont date much and when I first started seeming him ( now boyfriend) , she would say mean comments like he's not cute and why do you want a boyfriend and after went my third date with she said oh your seeing AGAIN. So ya I did distance myself from her a little because she made me feel bad for even going on a date with him and she hadn't met him
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@mwoodl21 Yeah... so she's hurt, thinking like you have or will abandon her, and feeling like you have betrayed her. You haven't really done anything wrong, but it's all feelings at this point.

You have to decide whether you are willing to let her know you are not choosing your bf over her, but that she needs to give you time to be with him.
