My bf and I have been together for 5 months before we became in a relationship were friends. We have alot of common friends. So these people know my bf well. They know that my bf is vert picky who to date. They have tried to hook him up to their friends and my bf did not want to date any of them.

My bf and I decided to keep our relationship very private. Only family and close friends know about our relationship status. But some of our friends and acquaintances are now questioning about what are we. Ive been told that people ask people about my bf and I status and that some of the girls are jealous of me. My bf is a great catch and i know he loves me. He's faithful. He treats me well. He has a great career. Im consider myself very lucky to have him in my life and other have said that too.

My question is, how do you deal with jealous people? People who are jealous of your relationship? Thanks.

If they're actually jealous of you, are they really your friends? You deal with them by not caring.

Ignore their comments and if they get too nasty, drop them because they're not your true friends.

I don't talk to them much. I used to hang out with them with bf before my bf courted me. I feel that they don't like me anymore lol. Last week, I got invited by them to a party because if my bf. They know my bf wouldn't go if Im not going too. Guess what? I did not go so my bf didn't go either. The party was going to be at this girls place who they say likes my bf.

If you guys aren't "out" as a couple, then how can people really be jealous of you? They're probably just all up in your business because they're trying to figure out if you guys really are a couple or not.

They treat me differently now. These are people I used to go out with before. Now I only get the invitation because the past few times my bf got invited, he didn't go. Then they find pit from others that my bf went to party tho its not his friends because I was with him and my bf doesnt hang out with them anymore even tbey invite him.


And a couple people told me that they are people who are jealous of me.

Of course, if you keep your relationship "private," some equate that as secret, which only invites drama. Why so "private"??

This sounds like high school drama. Act normal, be mature, do your thing, and ignore toxic people.

I don't understand why people keep relationships private. It makes no sense to me. If you are happy, why would you care what others think?

If you're getting invites to parties because they know he won't show up without you, your relationship isn't really private.

Why the secrecy?

I believe in not letting people all in your business, but I see no reason not to let them know you're a couple.

You sure this was your idea or was it just his?
