Get away from her. It’s jealousy. As long as you’re not bragging about in her face, it’s not your fault

You didn’t ask to be born into comfort that same way she didn’t ask to be born into poverty. It’s no one’s “fault” and shouldn’t be seen as something that fault needs to be attributed to. Jealousy is so toxic to the soul.

like it’s not like i’m shoving it in her face. i’m not like the rich friend who makes you venmo her 30 cents cuz you ate one of her french fries!! also yes i have a safety net but the reason i have more spending money than her is bc i simply worked more while she was spending like $5-10k on studying abroad!! and thats her right but lets not act like its all generational wealth here!

I've had this, unfortunately it was her mom who fueled the jealousy. Specifically when I was going through a hard time through my parents' divorce (my dad cheated) her mom said "oh play my little violin, you still have that big house"

There are always going to be miserable people in the world who are solely jealous of different lifestyles they either don’t have, or don’t actively work toward. Keep them distant for sure

It doesn't matter how good you are to them, if they see it that way, they always will and will revel in your losses. Cut them off.

Came back to say this is just so ugly and I hope you’re not still friends because a) you’d be a dunce to truly think someone rich is incapable of grieving emotional loss and b) you really don’t still have the big house?? The house isn’t in YOUR name as the child and it will soon be either only one parent’s or sold off completely bc that’s how divorce goes! That’s just so gross and unsympathetic!

Idk this pissed me off bc my parents were comfortable and had a nice upper-middle class home and when they divorced they were both dirt poor and couldn’t afford basic necessities for their growing child (me) so like no actually after the divorce we didn’t have a big house nor comfort PLUS the family unit was dissolved and unsupportive…… like bfr!
