Dear Jane,. I'm part of a very tight-knit group of girls. We've been friends since school and all moved back to our hometown after university. We hang out several times a week for dinners, drinks or movie nights and there's a group chat where we share our daily updates.
But recently, it's all changed – ever since I made things official with the guy I've been dating for a few months. True, I've missed a few hang-outs to spend time with my boyfriend, but I definitely don't feel like I'm neglecting them. Yet now, whenever I see the others, things feel off.
They seem to have developed inside jokes that go over my head but leave them in fits of giggles. I'm also pretty sure they're hanging out without inviting me and then deliberately hiding any evidence from their social media. The other day, one of the girls put up a picture of everyone at a dinner, but when I went back to look five minutes later, it had been deleted!.
I fear my female friends secretly HATE me because of these subtle things they all do. It feels like my old friends hate me, that they are trying to edge me out and I don't know why. Are they jealous of my new boyfriend? After all, this is the first time any of us have had a serious partner.
But I do really miss spending time with them – and I don't know how to fix this because we haven't even had a fight. From,. Forgotten Friend. International best-selling author Jane Green offers sage advice on readers' most burning issues in her agony aunt column.
