Trouble with friends-women on women hate. Boyfriend is sick of hearing it
So. I am so confused on what I should do about this friend. We've been friends since 9th grade, we are both sophomores in college. Junior year of highschool her mother married a very wealthy man (million dollar wealthy) and ever since we got out of highschool she has slowly but surely turned into a superficial *****. Don't get me wrong we have amazing times together, but the negative is starting to out weigh the positive. let me explain "jenna" Jenna has always been loud, loves to say things to offend or draw attention. I am a fun outgoing person but I have respect for others boundaries. She tans everyday, dyes her hair white blond, got the nose job, HUGE fake boobs (I believe they are Fcups) and when we go out, she might as well be wearing dental floss. All this is fine I accept her for her crazy eccentric-ness. But being her friend comes at a price. She is the type of girl that has to get her self esteem from what other people think...mainly men. She has been quoted to say "the best feeling in the world is when a man is with his wife or girlfriend and can't stop staring at you cause your way hotter than his girl." also she says all the time "that bar sucked not one guy came up and offered to buy me a drink." little things like this I blow off ALL the time.
I'm the kinda girl who likes to dress up, i dont consider myself spectacular looking but i think im cute. I'm not one to step on peoples toes to be noticed, its not me.
Two Halloweens ago we went to a party and I actually made an effort to look good. I bought this sexy costume, went and got spray tanned, did my hair and makeup- for once i actually thought I looked attractive. We get to the party, made up of people we all knew. and everyone was going crazy over how different and good i looked. I had NEVER gotten comments like this, and it felt really nice. They loved my outfit, loved my shoes, thought i looked great! Everything she is use to hearing, i got for once- which made me feel awkward but nice. She on the other hand said once to me almost under her breath "uhm...yeah. you like...uhm....nice."
fast forward a week later. im on the phone with her and she is laughing telling me this story of how her boyfriend and her laid in bed the night before and "rated" all our friends. (0 being ugly, 10 being hot. you get the idea)
although i was completely shocked and somewhat bothered by the idea of how stupid and shallow they were acting, i still listened. And one by one she told me about how she and her bf had picked apart all of our friends, even her own sister. She even rated my bf (who is her boyfriends BROTHER!) well of course I asked if my name was thrown into the mix and she kinda laughed and said "haha well yeah, but dont get mad. i asked my bf to rate you and he just starting going off on how nasty and ugly and disgusting you are and how he WOULD NEVER TOUCH YOU." she went on and on and on.......i was humiliated, confused, hurt to the core, and shocked. We got off the phone and when my bf got home i told him. He called his brother and called him out. Jenna told me i was being a baby and blowing things out of proportion. I'm sorry but my best friend and her bf who is also a friend and possibly family one day just got done RIPPING on me and I'm not suppose to be upset. Jennas bf told me that he didn't want to rate me but jenna kept pushing and pushing and then when she compared he to his ex saying "well i think shes hotter than your ex" then he went off. messed up.
So I don't know what to think? Shes been there for me through thick and thin but these past two years have sucked. She always finds someway to make me feel bad about myself. even like comments when i was saying how i had gained some weight and had a little muffin top going on when i tried to fit into my skinny jeans she said "haha yeah well that just means your fat"
little stuff like that. I just dont know if its worth it anymore, myself esteem drops when im around her cause she always has to say something.
has anyone been through this before, what should i do?
