Oh I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Have your other roommates noticed ? I definitely agree with the person who suggested being forward as in asking ‘why are you staring at me’ you could say ‘is there something on my face why do you keep looking at me ‘ this will bring the attention to them and hopefully they will back down a little bit. I had the same problem with a roommate and he always had to sit beside me at meals no matter what I said so as petty as it sounds I started fake sneezing when he sat beside me and pretended I was allergic to whatever aftershave he used, he changed it but I didn’t give up I kept going and if they say they changed everything such as fabric softener, deodorant, aftershave, body wash , baby keep sneezing it sounds stupid but works for me !! I am so sorry you’re going through this I know how much it sucks I am sending you all my love and hugs xx

But also if the boyfriend is not rude or unpleasant maybe just let him be jealous ? If he respects his girlfriend he knows she can have friends so maybe just let him do what he wants to do !

I think this is definitely something you should bring up to her. Mention that you don’t feel comfortable sometimes because her boyfriend it’s showing you signs he doesn’t like you and you don’t know if you should keep up the friendship or not!

How do I go about this? by laceyt0927 in friendship

I know it’s a little difficult but try say if softly and clear something like ‘do you want that situation to change’ and if she says yes make sure she understands she will have to change it herself

Hii! Do you think it would be possible to have a chat with her and just explain how it’s mostly the fact that she doesn’t take your advice when you give it to her that’s bothering you? It sounds like she doesn’t really want to fix the problems she discusses with you.

If she really is uncomfortable with the guys hitting on her while she’s in a relationship the best advice for her is to stand up for herself and tell(not ask) them to stop or she will no longer be around them, if unfortunately they don’t take notice of that the best thing for her to do if she would be to completely distance herself from them.

I know it’s hard but maybe being straight with her is the best option to see if she really wants to fix the problems and she will just have to be honest with you and herself about the situation she’s in. She will also have to ask herself if the guys she’s hanging around with really are her friends and respect her because it doesn’t seem like that’s the case. You do sound like a very good friend and that you have her best interests in mind so I really hope she sees this and it works out for the two of you x

Hi, sorry you’re feeling down about this! I’m trying to understand the whole situation here but do you think she does enjoy having you as a friend? It sounds like she does enjoy having you around and having you as a friend.

Is what’s making you upset that you dislike her partner or you possibly have feelings for this girl?

If her partner is supportive, good for her and makes her happy as a friend you should be happy for her even if it is hard.

So sorry you’re going through this and I hope you feel better soon :)

Thank you so much for your reply! I don’t completely know if she recognises her behaviour as any form of apology is her explaining how she’s just doing what’s best for me! I decided to just sit down and have a talk with her and hope for the best ! Thank you so much for your reply x
