Beth however is not in a relationship and as far as we can tell has no interest in any guys. We often all talk about guys as a group but Beth always kills the conversation. Whenever we talk about a guy we like for example I was talking to her about a certain guy I liked and she went on to say he was a diva and that he was a scumbag. I found this really hurtfull especially as now me and him are together .She does this not only with me but to all of us and is really protective over all of us. I appreciate her concern but it gets to the point where she will try to scupper dates we go on and has even tried to make one friend and her boyfriend break up several times. We have confronted we several times but we still havnt got to the root of the problem. What should I do she is still my friend after all and if there is a problem she isn't telling us I want to help her ? Reply to this Question

Is she the 'Ugly Duckling' of your group of friends- unable to attract fellows herself so is jealous of girls who can? Or is she the type who cannot bear sharing her friends with boys, seeing this as a sort of betrayal? Or- teenage males being a bit disgusting in general, maybe she simply can't figure out why you're attracted to loud, immature types that she herself sees as boys rather than potential 'partners'. These are a few possibilities, not answers, but have a think about them. Nevertheless, she should butt out unless her opinion is actually asked.
