    Talk to them, try to be mature about things. Ask them why they feel this jealousy and what you can do to not make them feel that way. If it becomes too much of a problem, tell them straight up that if they can't act civilized and be happy for what you have, then you don't want to surround yourself with all of that negativity. We all get jealous at times, but it's important not to let that jealousy get in the way of a good friendship.

    Well, I'm not trying to come off as rude or anything, but she sounds pretty childish. If she was really your friend, she wouldnt even be doing such things. She would be happy and supportive of your relationship, not jealous of it.

    I've known her since we were 14 so I never really thought that could happen...

    "I've known her since we were 14 so I never thought that could happen..."

    ^ Ah, but it can and it does. My "best friend" since Gr. 3 over a year ago betrayed me. She used me in her "plot" for revenge against one of my other friends (who she wasn't getting along with and who is her cousin). She text me and told me that he loved me, that he wanted to have sex with me, wanted me to break up with my boyfriend, and that I should be careful because he'd "raped" several girls. I knew she was lying, because I know my friend better than that and because I know what kind of person she is, I too just couldn't believe that she would ever do such a thing to me or even to her own family member. I asked her who told her this and she told me it was the one person who he confides in the most, to which I told her that would be me and that I didn't remember telling anyone such lies. She later admitted to lying about everything, since I told my friend about everything she'd been saying and their parents confronted her about it, but she made no attempt to apologize. I have not contacted nor seen her since then, even though I've forgiven her and to some extent miss her, because my trust and respect for her is gone and our "friendship" will never be the same.

    If she were a true friend, regardless if her "relationship" isn't progressing or if she does like your boyfriend, she wouldn't be doing the things that she does; she would be happy and supportive of your relationship. Don't make excuses for her, such as that you've been friends since you were 14, there's no excuse for the way she's been acting or treating you. Sometimes, friendships aren't always meant to be.
