We’re a couple and our friends (also a couple) frequently meet each other and spend time. Lately we’ve noticed they started copying almost everything from us and also other distant friends. We ignored initially but now it is reached a point where we’re started laughing on it. Still we’ve never mentioned it to them nor made it affect our friendship. In terms of relationship, all our new contacts are always shared with them and they also befriend them. Past 2 months they’ve started making new friends and started ignoring us. They also do not invite us when they meet them and never introduced them. Even though we’ve this everytime in the past. If we invite them for a meet after 2 weeks they avoid saying they have plans with new friends. Today her wife told my wife by mistake something really weird. She said while talking to her husband she mentioned him that X should not be done otherwise “whatever is left in our friendship” will be over. She immediately tried to correct that statement she shared by mistake and avoided further discussions. I’ve gone through all recent conversations and noticed this behaviour of copying and comparing started when I moved from their company to Meta and they’re still at the same company. They have also tried to bring me down everytime they meet recently and try to bring down random Meta related research, posts etc. I never return the same gesture and just politely ignore this behavior. Not sure what has led to this behavior from them which is negatively impacting our friendship. People should not be comparing on small things specially with friends. I’ve tried to communicate this to them through many indirect ways but doesn’t seem ti be working. Please help me in rebonding with them and removing this obstacle which has led to this weird toxic behavior in them which I never expected.
Who gives a fuck. There are seriously better things to do in life than worry about what other people think about you both. Form new friendships with like minded people and move on.

seems like weird jealous behavior. i would ignore it and let them be, not worth the stress
Lol dude move on from these people. Have some self respect
Those ppl have moved on from you .
