im really fed up of my OH's best mate. he is soooo jealous he wants everything matt (OH) has.
bit of background, my OH's parents have both died, his mum last year and his dad about 7 years ago, they were divorced, however when matt turned 18 he got abot 80 grand from his dads money, he mostly blew it on cars but put 25 grand deposit on a house where we live now. my OH is now 21, he works as a taxi driver and earns about 150 a night on weekends and 100 a night in the week, but my OH's mate is sooo jealous he critisises everything he does, he always says taxi drivings a shit job and hed never do it, now all of a sudden hes applying to do it, and he said me and matt are silly for settling down so young, now he has a new gf and he wants to get a house ect.. now he wants the same car as matt, and when i got pregnant, he told matt he was basically ruining his life, then the other month he told matt he wasnts a baby by next year with his new gf, and now his gf thinks shes pregnant grrrrr! even though shes on the injection and has taken aload of tests and all negative shes apparently got morning sickness. it just does my head in. me and matt arent alowed to do anything without him firstly having a go about it and putting a downer on it and then the next week copying it and OH never says anything to him about it!!! he still thinks the sun shines out his arse grrrrrrrr sorry for the rant lol x

It just sounds like jealousy from him.. maybe he feels like he's losing his best friend to you lol and maybe he sees how happy he is and wants it for himself?

I'd be annoyed too if he was constantly ridiculing our decisions though!

i completely agree with wat tasha41 said he does sound jealous and if it annoys u that much hun talk 2 ur oh bout it and ask him 2 just drop a hint or somethin 2 his mate and ask him 2 bk down a bit

grr, i dont blame you for being mad hun!

my OH has a similar friend like that, its pisses me off so much. he is so jealous that C (oh) has me and Harriet, and its like everytime he knows C is coming to see us he will go over to his house for a bit, trying to delay him, or always arranging for him to go places with him, e.g parties at the weekends (when he knows C is probably going to be seeing us two) and just other silly things like going to his house and not leaving till 11pm+ even though we are trying to get harriet settle from 9pm, and always ringing him (well me mainly..i think its so he can check if im with him or not) to see where he is! its so annoying but hes like that with his other friends too, when they go to see their girlfriends, he is so controlling and an absoulte bull shitter its un believeable!

i totally know who annoyed you must feel babe!! x

Try and ignore it. Jealousy is very flattering, be flattered you have something somebody else is jealous of.

Just leave your OH to it, you do not want the jealous friend to start whinging. I'm sure one day your OH will wake up and realise he is friends with a complete plank and get a better friend lol.

Your OH's friend needs to grow up... and fast! It doesn't sound as though he has the maturity to drive a taxi, let alone become a dad. Not surprised you annoyed!

^ what they said. ew.

hiya !..
DHs friend is a bit like that....
we were the first out of our group of friends to get a house/have a baby/get married......... now DHs friend just moved into a house last week... his gf is pregnant and he just proposed !! its like they just want to do everything to be like us ! and i know how annoying it can be. i ranted to my mum about it... but she just said to take it as a compliment coz they obviously are looking up to us.
as for putting ur mans job down.... then going to apply for the same job... again this is probz just jealousy, coz u guys have money etc ...

I know how you feel hun, my OH has a work mate who is pretty much the same way, except he also feels the need to 'beat' us at everything.

For example, we moved into the flat (next door to him actually) and so he moved into a house and started belittling us for moving into a flat and criticising us because apparantly living in a flat must mean we have no money for a house!

Then, when my OH proposed to me, he proposed to his girlfriend and made sure that her ring was a lot more expensive than mine and points it out to anyone that will listen - so what, I care more about what the ring means than the fact that it didn't cost £899.99!

Then, when we booked a week's holiday, he booked a two week holiday and commented (again!) that maybe we need to get better jobs - bearing in mind they work together.

Then, more recently, he was planning to get married in a local church but now that we've started wedding planning he's paying £6000 to get married in a big hall. What's the point?!

Finally, we said that we were going to buy a new car one Friday but backed out at the last minute because we decided to wait because of the scrappage scheme being introduced. Got to work on Monday... low and behold... he pulls up with a brand new car.

Lol. The worse bit about it though is that my OH and I are very comfortable at the minute and have no finance at all whereas he's had to max out credit cards, loans and finance to afford any of this and yet is forever making monetary based comments to us - I think someone is insecure!

Hun i know adsacly what your going through! Birt diffrent here tho, My OH basicly looks upto his friend, and he always trys to please him, even if that means slagging me off with him. But anyway this friend basicly decided he wants to turn all my OH's family against me tell them all i am forcing him to be with me because of the baby, he is trying to convince my OH to make me have an abortion and not to marry me (we got engaged a few months back) basicly hes a shit lol. I think he is actually jelous, but i have no idea why because they are both in afghanistan and im back here?? I have no clue why he would be but i really think he doesnt like the fact his best friend who hes known since they where babys is growing up and having a family ect. I do hun think it is all probebly based around jelousy, have a word with your OH xxx
