My Friend is Jealous of my Love

You cannot measure up.

She is educated.

You are not.

She went to the university.

You did not.

She dresses nicely.

You don’t.

He wondered why his friend kept telling him these things about his girlfriend. His friend was his partner they both had a mechanic shop that was doing very well. They were both good at what they do and had a lot of repeat customers.

If he could remember he had loved this woman. They were both neighbors and attended the same elementary school. She also showed a lot of affection towards him and on many occasions, they talked about getting married someday. Even while she was in college they dated. Before her graduation, his friend was encouraging him to continue with the relationship. Once she graduated and landed a job at a fortune 500 company, his partner started saying negative things to him.

He was surprised when his girlfriend told him that he had been telling her that she need to find someone with a good education as she might not be happy with him if they get married.

He confronted his friend about what his girlfriend told him and he blatantly denied it. They are still partners as they work well together, but their friendship is now forever ruined. They no longer hang out together after work or discuss anything of a personal nature.
