My bf and I are 23 and the rest of them are 22/23.Can I ask how old you all are? I’m assuming you are all early 20s???
I would honestly just take it all down a level - stop letting it stress you out! Your boyfriend needs to stop relaying what’s being said between his friends to you - I really don’t understand why he keeps drip feeding these comments to you that the others are saying?? There’s no need. It just looks like the kind of juvenile “banter” that goes on between young guys - it’s just nonsense.
you just need to see Jacob and get it over with - it might be uncomfortable and you might never be friendly but equally it might not be as awful as you are imaging. Whatever happens though you have to be able to stand up for yourself and give a bit of banter back if something was brought up.
At first I was upset he was telling me all the stuff they said, but then I think I’d rather know. I do feel bad for my bf too, because okay, excluding me I can almost understand, but to not talk about the girls they’re dating in front of my bf? Seems a bit too far
That’s very true, I just need to stand up for myself, I have an awful habit of not saying anything in person if someone makes a joke about me. I just sit there and ignore it
At the moment I’m trying to pick my battles, but I wish I could get him to say something to them. He is very non confrontational though and I know he doesn’t like standing up to a group of guysThe only person at fault here is Jacob and he’s only resentful because he got caught out.
I don’t know if this will help but my husbands friends hated me (called me all sorts) when we first met. He was in a band with them and he quit shortly after we got together. They blamed me for him leaving even though I had no idea he quit and it was a shock for me too. It took years for them to warm to me and eventually my husband had a big talk, set the record straight and basically said they had to accept me and be nice as I wasn’t going anywhere and I hadn’t find anything wrong. They were all young 18/19 at the beginning and eventually they have matured and are my friends too.
I think your Sam does need to say something, perhaps in jest like someone else said ‘only if you cheat and lie about it’. I’d have done exactly the same, you haven’t done anything wrong and owed Jason nothing.
Thank you so muchJacob sounds like the biggest head going.
You may be the main character in this situation but Jacob is the villain!
You have nothing to worry about, hold your head up high
I hope they aren’t as ballsy over text! One of the other girlfriends is going too and I have a fear sams friend has told her to avoid me, which is a bit crappy as it would have been nice to be friends, but I just have anxiety they’re going to tell me to back off if I even say hi to herI think just go and act normal. Rise above it. I think the atmosphere with be totally different when you're there. Show them that you're a nice person and let them decide. Boys in groups are generally dickheads, but it's all just talk.
