I brought it up with the bride who just got married and was like “is this not weird??” And she was like “oh well you know she’s gonna be around for a long time so we might as well be friends while we live in the same city” but she’s probably NOT gonna be around for a long time. She’s not going to give him the things he ultimately wants in life and she really doesn’t even fit in as a random single in the group with 0 history with anyone here
It’s less jealousy and more just confusion. They’re super incompatible on fundamental levels and she’s just some sort of low effort rebound because he’s far away and they’re doing LDR. But the way she’s suddenly trying to integrate into our friend group is WEIRD. Especially when he’s not here to be a buffer. And even then, they met on a dating app. It’s not serious and isn’t going to ever be that serious. So she really needs to take a step back and read the room she’s walking into
I’ve talked about this with our friends and the common consensus is like “🤷♂️ well he likes her so we’ll do our best” but that’s not bc anyone actually wants anything to do with her. I don’t get why he even brought her to a wedding to introduce her to everyone. Esp bc that wedding invite literally said “no plus ones unless engaged/married” but she still showed up and sat by him at the head table bc he was the best man. Like wtf
There really isn’t any nuance. You’re just mad he doesn’t feel the same way about you as you do to him, or doesn’t feel the way about you that you thought. I’m sorry you waited for him and he didn’t wait for you, but you’re the one who’s going to end up removed from the friend group bc of your jealousy and behavior around them, not her for being his girlfriend.
