Dear Queenie,
My best friend since school days is mad at me because I’ve also been getting friendly with a woman I met at work. When my old friend met the new one she was so rude to her and sometimes she just gives me the cold shoulder too.
Queenie, I don’t want to lose my old friend just because of the new one. What to do?—Caught in the middle
Dear Caught,
Obviously your old friend is jealous of the new one. However, I do not recommend letting her disrupt your new friendship or she will always hold you hostage to her own jealousy.
Try to spend more time with your old friend and hope she can learn to deal with her jealousy.
