So, my best friend is dating somebody and I’m jealous. Not because I want to date her, but now I have to share my bestie. This is the 1st time happening. Is this normal?

Idk if it’s normal but you’re definitely not alone. In my case it doesn’t help they’re my only friend AND I don’t like the guy (he’s immature and inconsiderate as hell), and it’s gotten worse now that they’re engaged 😅

Yah it’s fairly common to feel some jealously when your best friend starts dating someone because you feel like you are losing or having to share them. It doesn’t make you a bad person. Ofc doing anything to sabotage their relationship would be rlly shitty but it’s okay to experience internal jealousy. It’s unfortunately just a emotion you’ll have to work through. Spending one on one time with your friend may help.

Try getting a partner and arranging double dates.
