friends help: my friend’s boyfriend is so rude i wanna kick him - Help.com

my friend’s boyfriend is so rude i wanna kick him

he knows i had a crush on her and that i am past that and that we are now best friends,
and to be honest, i believe he always saw this as a contest and to disrupt our good relation was one of his goals, i know he is an assshole from people that lived in student’s quarters with him, so this kind of approved it. (meaning not only i hate his guts)
but i learned to accept him for her sake, and although i don’t like him i can live with it.

however, he is teasing me on purpose…
always waiting for me to look, and then starting to stroke her body intimately while staring into my eyes.
always trying to insult and make fun of me, degrade me in the eyes of the surroundings (unssuccesfully though) and always with a “seemingly innocent” grin.
when we hang out lately, he keeps looking for ways to make this look like i lost to him…
like when i stayed over and she said she would make him a cake tomorrow, then she rephrased it to both of us.
but he was nodding and staring at me and said “mmm she’ll make a cake for me…” again with that grin.
stuff like that.

today he topped himself and snatched the phone while i was talking to her
so i said joyfully - hey, you took her away
so he said - i took her away from you a long time ago… (with that grin in his voice also)

it drives me crazy also because i pulled myself out of this thing, i don’t want her in that way anymore
and he is trying to pull me in for his own ego…
and it’s working dammit.

any insights?

i have to agree with you there he is very egotistic, but maybe he’s playing up like this because he’s scared that you could take her away from him,
otherwise surely his gf/your friend has noticed the way he’s been acting and has or will talk to him about it?

nahh, she hadn’t noticed yet.
she is too blinded by this relation, so it could take a while
and i would point it out to her eventually, if he doesn’t get a grip.

I would distance myself. There is no point getting angry. The guy is insecure and knows doing these things rubs u up the wrong way. Its almost cave man like behavior lol.

Maybe once your friend no longer has both of u doting on her, she will see him for what he really is.

Use this time to bond with others. Have more than one best friend.

well, i made the mistake of pointing that out to her, and she doesn’t believe me.
now she is mad at me, i believe she thinks that i didn’t got over her and that i still don’t get along with him.

Why in the world would you want to continue to be around people like this? Don’t you think you deserve better?

nice. (sarcasm). She should know better than to think that you are lying. Sit down and tell her point blank “you are my best friend and only my best friend. I’m not trying to weasel my way into your life like that. don’t you know me well enough to know that i would never try to break you guys up no matter what?”

So do you still like her? You must if this is really bothering you.

You must be caving in to his actions and he must notice it since he’s still teasing you on purpose.

Anyways, she’s just blind by the relationship and wants you both to like each other as she likes both guys very much. She wants support from you [the best friend] (but she will deny bad faults of the relationship you point out and will blame you for saying it because you “used to like her” as the result).

As Nat said, sit down and tell her bluntly how you feel of the situation/his actions/etc. If she really is your best friend, she should understand that hey, sometimes not all her boyfriends will like you and vice versa. You two are afterall, best friends and this can be a threat to any future relationship you or she can have with somebody else. As your bestie, she should take your opinion into consideration and see for herself what he does.

Probably cut down some of your time with the both of them. Maybe he might stop being so “cozy” with her when you’re not there to tease and maybe she’ll stop being blind when she realizes he acts differently when you’re not there.
