I've been with my boyfriend for nearly a year. For context I am genuinely happy in this relationship and he treats me well.

Early on in the relationship he told me of a friend of his who had wanted a relationship with him over the years but he had rejected her, but that they remain friends and that she's a very kind and caring person. They had worked together for many years and she gets along really well with other friends and family.

Last year he mentioned that she seemed really happy for him when he told her he was with me. But during the middle of last year she seemed really intense when he wouldn't visit her and he did cut her off for a few months because he wanted space.

In December they were talking again. Every time he and I wanted to see her she made an excuse of being busy or having to drive out of town - (I wanted to put in effort to make this woman comfortable especially if she's a friend of my boyfriend's). But she would find time to see him and his family while I was on shift work and not around. I thought this was suspicious but decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Yesterday I finally met her at a sports game. She did not look me in the eyes when speaking to me. Did not ask me any questions about myself or my partner. I was asking her about herself because I wanted to make her feel comfortable and she just rebuffed me each step of the way. At this point I was feeling upset but didn't want to leave a bad impression. I tried to understand how she was feeling so at the end I told her "I hope we see each other again! He's told me so much about you!". She replied saying "well he's told me nothing much about you" and then walked off. I was so hurt I cried in the hours after.
