Best Friend Gets Jealous of My Other Friends

Ever been stuck between two friends who just can’t seem to get along? That’s me, juggling my college roommate, Jamie, and my childhood buddy, Alex. Jamie gets weirdly possessive whenever I hang out with Alex, and honestly, it’s exhausting. I tried inviting Jamie to our group hangouts, hoping it’d help, but she just sulked in the corner. I get it—jealousy stings, but it’s not like I’m replacing her! I started telling Jamie what I appreciate about her (her killer sense of humor, for one), and made sure she knew I wasn’t going anywhere. Still, it’s a balancing act. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m the glue or just stuck in the middle. If you’ve ever felt like a friendship referee, trust me, you’re not alone. 🥲🤷‍♂️ #FriendshipProblems #Jealousy #RealTalk
