Some parts of this just hit too close home. In my case the best friend was doing her phd and she was also 30 something and seemed like 15. She was also going through some shit. She was ALWAYS going through some shit that was making her behave like a stubborn child. Honestly? I've been "going through some shit" since my early teens and I've never treated anyone badly because of it. We're all going through shit, that's no excuse to treat badly your best friends girlfriend.

Anyway, the difference is that she pretended to like me, which was even more annoying?? Because I had to see her every fucking time and pretend it wasn't obvious that she didn't want us together. Ugh. She was this protective friend personality too and would do anything to defend her friends even when they were obviously wrong. People like this aren't able to like anyone their friend is dating honestly. Their friends are always so perfect in their eyes so nobody is enough. I always feel like I broke up with her because her presence just made social situations unbearable at some point.

I know people are telling you to talk to her and try to work it out but if I'm right (and not just projecting, which I obviously am a little) she'll only fake liking you after that. And if you really don't like her it's for the best that you don't spend time with her. At least I think so. You could just be honest and have the courage I didn't have to tell your gf that her best friend makes you feel bad and uncomfortable and see how she reacts. I think a good solution could be leaving you out of some places where her best friend is. Seeing her less I guess. If you and your girlfriend last long enough, her best friend will have to give in I believe. Or your girlfriend will realize that she's full of shit and won't be her friend anymore lmao
