Friend jealous of girls around her boyfriend...

She’s got issues.

Your instincts are correct—she needs to break up with this guy. They are not dating if he’s hugging other girls in front of her. She may think she’s dating him, but he’s not dating her. This can be a common problem in middle school, when you’re not really dating but you think you are. When you date someone, they are supposed to treat you nicely. He’s not treating her nicely. He needs to be replaced.

Well,that means she can’t accept competition. I think jealous is just natural.

7th and 8th graders are too young to be in relationships.

I do believe extreme jealousy is a sign of insecurity. been there, done that….no thank you ever again. plus, what @girlofscience said.

Middle school, please that is a breeding ground for drama.

Hopefully she grows out of this jealousy thing in a few years, because acting that way is incredibly immature. If you don’t trust your boyfriend because you’re insecure, you fix your insecurity issues. If you can’t trust him because he’s doing things he shouldn’t be doing, then you break up with him. I’m not quite sure which one applies here. Personally, I definitely would not spy on him for her, and I would gently tell her that she’s not acting appropriately. If she still does it, and it bugs you too much to be around it, then ditch her.

Slap her, and say move on.

I was in 7th grade once. Tell her to find other things to do. Don’t waste your youth spying on boys you can’t trust.

just say “good bye” it’s for the best!! :-/

If she is like this now, she is going to have major relationship problems in the future. If he is really doing something wrong, she needs to develop the ability to stand up for herself and walk away now. There is nothing she can do to change his or Abby’s behavior.

7th and 8th grade, jealous girls and “boyfriends”? seriously? @shego had it right, I would find someting more important in school to care about.

You are in the same position the other girl is in. She is putting up with her boyfriends behavior because she likes him. You are putting up with hers because you like her. Small world ain’t it.
