Do you have friends who purposely meddle in your relationship? A friend of mine has a serious problem, she's been dating this guy who gets extremely jealous, over very little. Well our friends always usually joke around flirting usually no one gets jealous or offended. Yet now one of our guy friends is doing these things and upseting her boyfriend? The more she asks him to stop it, the more he does it because he thinks its funny. Hes causing problems for her and she doesn't know what she should do... Any Ideas Mylot?

Your guy friend has a thing for girl friend. Just let it be. See what happens. There's bound to be a lesson waiting to be learned here.

This is a possibility, though if so he has a thing for all of us, because he does it to all his friends including the guys, =/

I think the girl should directly confront your friend who thinks that he is funny and tell him that what he is laughing about is no laughing matter to her and that it is imperative that he should stop joking and flirting around with her because she values the relationship she has with her boyfriend. If he still does not listen, I think the girl should cut off ties and communication with that guy friend of yours until he gets the picture.

Yes, we all try to tell him he does it to every one of us, but it never goes as far as this because most of the guys we date gets that hes just joking. Truthfully however, though I don't agree with his method of teasing and taunting the guy. I do get what he does mean. The boyfriend shouldn't be so jealous of her friends to begin with and trust her enough to know that just because her guy friend says to him, "I live closer to her then you I can go over when ever I want *wink*" doesn't mean she would do anything with him, its obvious he doesn't trust her. Though the guy friend should not approach showing her that by what hes doing either.

It is better to be direct to the person involved. Tell him to his face that he is becoming a nuisance and it is not getting funny. Tell him how you are feeling about it. Perhaps he is ignorant to the whole of idea of him being a troublemaker.

See thats the problem he's not ignorant of what he is doing to her. He knows exactly what hes doing, he thinks its funny getting the other guy going and does it all the more to get the reaction. He's the type of friend that has his own sense of whats funny, you either get him or you don't and the other guy obviously doesn't get him, if he would ignore the way he goes on our friend would stop. Becuase he's sensative about it however it drives the friend to continue to do it.
