Here is a fun story for you, foids do what foids do best bring down other foids
I've met a guy who treats me like queen. I've never been treated this way before. And I myself have always been strong, independent, outgoing person. I've been staying away from my home since the age of 14 (I'm 22 now) and I am confident enough with myself. But with this man, I allow myself to be soft without feeling weak. He communicates, he says how I'm the best thing to have happened to him and he's always craved for a connection like this. He believes in my dreams and ambitions. He sends me chocolates when I'm on my periods. He ties my shoe-laces. He feeds with me with his own hands (hehe ik ik sounds cringe but I was on my periods and kinda found the gesture sweet, considering he has this Thomas Shelby image in other aspects of his life).
Now here's the thing, all my close friends, except my long term best friend, are apparently being salty. I forward them pictures of us together and all they respond with is - "You can do so much better you're way more pretty", "Bruh, are you a baby that he's feeding you with his own hands", "You guys look like an arranged marriage setup" and all the other mean things. These are the same friends who supported me and were there for me at my worst. One thing common in all my friends (who are being salty) is that all 3 of them are pretty much unhappy and depressed in their lives - still carrying the burden of their previous heartbreak, professionally unmotivated, family issues, going out on n number of failed dates to look for that one genuine connection - a bad phase in their lives. And it sucks to see that now that I'm finally, finally happy having found that one sweet connection, rather than being supportive they're being salty. I thought they'd be happy for me but they're kinda being mean. Only that one long term best friend, is genuinely happy for me. She was the one, in fact, who pushed me to meet this guy, considering I was done with men after a heartbreak followed by a series of meeting trash men. Idk how to feel about my friends, they've been with me at my darkest place, I'm scared their opinions may influence my decisions as this man and me are not in love yet, we're still in the 'seeing each other' phase (it's been only a month, although we've been in touch on social media for the past 2 years on and off) and we do not see a long term future with each other as we're currently in different phases of our lives.
Edit - Thank you all lovely women for you sweet concern about the man and him lovebombing me already within such a short span of time. I'm clear about my expectations and boundaries with this man, in fact, we're already aware that we are together only for a short duration. In fact, I am the one here who is not ready yet for a serious relationship. I am here only for the next 6-7 months, post which my life goes towards a different direction, and his profession also makes him leave this city around the same time, and we part our ways here. So I'm only cherishing my limited time with him. My only concern is my friends' reaction, I just wanted them to be happy for me.
