Why are women so petty?
I know my friend, S, since we are 12 years old. She’s a pretty girl. No lack of admirers. I was one of them too. But I know she’s out of my league so I decided I’ll be her good friend instead. During our teens, I admitted that I had a crush on S but it didn’t lead to anything so we stayed friends. We have stayed platonic since.
As we got older and started dating other people, my first gf was insanely jealous of S and tried to make me cut off the friendship. I have nothing to hide. I even introduced my gf to her and let my gf have access to my phone. But my gf decided she will not want to get to know S. My gf also tried to make me buy branded bags for her. I wasn’t able to afford it as I’ve just started working. After a few turbulent weeks of arguments, I found out she cheated and the relationship ended.
I was devastated but I guess it was a blessing in disguise as I met my next gf. This time I didn’t reject requests of buying branded bags as I didn’t want to lose my gf again. I don’t know why is it my fate that I meet women who seem to ask for branded bags as I know S never asked that of her bf.
I tried to introduce S to my new gf. But history repeated itself, my new gf is also unwilling to get acquainted with S. S stopped talking to me out of respect for my gf but we still wish each other happy birthday. S usually tag her bf when she signs off. S would also tag my gf when she mentions me. Any communication was not private but my gf was still unhappy about S.
Over the years, S’s bf became her husband. And my gf became my wife. We’ve attended each other’s wedding, baby full month celebration, baby birthdays. But that’s about it, we had no other contact out of these occasions. But whenever my wife and I argue, for no reason she would bring S into the picture.
We are already in our 30s and we already have our own family and kids. I don’t know why my wife wouldn’t let it go when I didn’t even have an intimate relationship with S before. We were just friends!
Men, next time you have a crush on someone and that person is still in your life as a friend, never tell your gf or wife!
