I've known my best friend for many many years. Now, throughout the years, she'd made comparison comments here and there ranging from she's a better thinker than me, her legs and butt are better than mine, and now.....her boyfriend is better than mine. Because she's a very sensitive person, I don't lash back at her with meaner comments but it just irritates me.

For some months now, she's been commenting on how her boyfriend would never date a woman like me, how I'm this and that, and how he's so not into such type of women. These comments are so effin' weird. She also talks about her great sex life, her intimate moments with him, how hard his penis gets, what dates they went on, pictures of his gifts to her, etc.

Now, I have no interest whatsoever in her boyfriend, it's her relationship, why the hell am I even in the picture, and I don't compare my boyfriends to hers.

Now, this other thing I'm dealing with is, her man looks at me. Not once, not twice, but every time he checks me out when she's not looking. At first I thought surely I'm bananas, but no, my sister hung out with us a few times and yep, he looks.

This whole scenario puts me in an awkward situation.

You need a better class of friends. Drop her.

Friendship shouldn't be a competition. She is probably jealous because she knows he looks at you. But she shouldn't be taking that out on you. She's a bad friend. I bet she's the type who would get mad at the "other woman" rather than him, if he cheated

Asides for that, she's an awesome friend. But I think this is something I will always have to put up with. It's okay for her to brag, boast, say weird comments but if I do it, complete hell on Earth.

Sleep with her boyfriend then ask her how much better in bed you are than her.

But really though, tell her to go away, she obviously has low self esteem and has to put you down to make herself feel better. Do you really need a A-hole like that in your life? I would think no one does...

Sounds like narcissism. These people never change and will drain the life out of you. Walk away

I can understand how that hurts. It would hurt me too if I saw my boyfriend look up my friends up and down. And I have had that happen to me. It's not pleasant, but I'm not going to tell my friends, "Hey, you're not attractive," to make myself feel better.

I have confronted her about it and she's said, "Yeah, I make weird comments." The end.

The thing is, I feel like with her, I have to be blunt. Instead of swallowing and let it pass, since it doesn't really seem to work, I have to be mean which I do not want to be.

...then, tell her to kiss it when she starts it or just get rid of her is my thoughts.
