writes:i have this best boy bud for a few years now. we are very close and he even asks me out whenever our schedule permits it. recently, i saw my childhood friend whom i didn't have a communication with for a decade. that guy was also my first crush way back then. when my best bud learned about this, he started telling me offensive things about him which i know were untrue because they never met each other. he said that it was just a joke but he kept comparing himself to him. he knows i have a lot of guy friends other than him but he doesn't do these to them, only to that guy. i have assured him that i have only one best bud and that's him but he continues to act bitter towards the other guy. i tried to ask him why does he do such thing but he doesn't answer. what do you think is his reason?

 It could be that he hears a tone in your voice when you talk about this guy compared to your other guy friends. You may act a little extra excited when referring to him. Sometimes we don't realize we are doing this but another person, like your boyfriend, picks up on it. Your boyfriend feels in competition with this guy so I would be very sensitive to this and be aware of how you come off if his name is brought up. I also wouldn't defend your ex crush to your boyfriend.
