I’m currently living in the UK for study and a couple weeks before I came here I made a really good female friend and we use to spoke all the time as she was my only friend here at the time. she would always help me with problems like bank stuff, accommodation, travel cards etc and we would visit each other on weekends if free and have even been on a trip with her to London.
Lately I have exams and she’s understandable to it. But I also recently got a gf. And my friend got really upset by it and it turned out she liked me.
I’ve not really been messaging her since then or replied to her messages much and not seen for 4 weeks now. But how do you deal with jealous friends? She said to me that she’s upset at how we aren’t going to be close anymore and that she’s felt I had become distant with her lately even though she gets i have exams. But I’m just too busy and have a gf now. She messaged me last night saying hope you have a good weekend. But I’ve not yet responded because i want to figure out how to deal with her.
What can I do? I don’t want to ruin our friendship but I have a gf now.
