I grew up around all males, and when we all started to mature I was always fooling around with one of them. We never slept together but we were each others guinea pigs for everything else when we were teenagers. We would always kiss and hug and just fool around together.
Even into adulthood, still whenever I would see him he would pay me attention, always seemed very excited to see me, would show off in front of me and convey romantic interest in me.
About 2 years ago he met a girl and he is very serious about her. He absolutely adores her and from what I have seen so far, it looks like it could be one of these “forever” things.
Even though I have absolutely zero romantic interest in him anymore, I find myself becoming jealous over them and I don’t know why. One of the many reasons I stopped using Facebook was because I couldn’t stand to see their lovey dovey posts anymore.
Is it because I am not 100% happy in my relationship?
Is it because I was so used to him giving me all this attention and now he’s not anymore?
Because you liked being "special" to him, even if he wasn't special to you, and now somebody else is more special than you are. It's a pride thing.
It all makes sense, this post more than any.
He was special to me, but definitely not as special as I was to him. He would be all over me and want to be joined at the hip. I felt like I was always pushing him off me or rejecting him, but he always came back over and over again.

I don’t understand.

A true friend would wish him nothing but happiness. Are you saying if you aren't happy, its difficult for you to be happy for anyone else? I respect your honesty, but I've read other posts where you've said you're over 30...did I read that wrong? If this were a female friend would you be equally jealous??

I am not sure… I don’t know why I feel this way. Maybe if I am not happy then yes, I do find it hard to be happy for others!
