This guy, Anwar Is jealous and mad at his best friend when he gets a girlfriend

Let’s talk about bromances. You know, that unbreakable bond between two guys who’ve shared countless late-night gaming sessions, endless debates about who’s the GOAT (it’s LeBron, obviously), and enough terrible inside jokes to last a lifetime.

But then... she shows up.

Suddenly, your partner-in-crime is texting about dinner reservations instead of raid strategies, and your Friday night pizza-and-movie ritual gets bumped for “couple’s trivia night.” Welcome to the wild world of your best friend getting a girlfriend.

This is the tale of Adam and Anwar — two best friends who thought nothing could ever come between them. Until Emily entered the chat.

The “Third Wheel” Awakens

Anwar thought he and Adam were solid, like peanut butter and jelly or Batman and Robin. But once Adam started dating Emily, it felt more like peanut butter and... quinoa. Sure, quinoa’s fine, but who asked for it?

At first, Anwar played it cool. “I’m happy for him,” he said but secretly he is side-eyeing his phone waiting for Adam's “Yo, you up for Call of Duty?” text. Instead, Adam was texting Emily about their favorite rom-coms.

Jake wasn’t jealous in the “I secretly love Emily” way or that he has secret feelings.. for his friend, which could also be something. No, he was jealous of how Daniel’s attention had shifted. His best bro was suddenly too busy to debate whether pineapple belongs on pizza (it does, but that’s a separate blog).

Jealousy is a sneaky little devil. At first, Anwar didn’t even realize he was feeling it. He just knew he was annoyed every time Daniel mentioned Emily.

“She’s so funny.”
“She’s the best.”
“She made me try kale smoothies, and I didn’t hate it.”

Kale smoothies? Who even was this guy?!

But beneath the sarcasm and eye-rolls, Anwar realized the truth: he missed his friend. And if he didn’t do something soon, he’d be stuck in third-wheel purgatory forever.

One day, Anwar couldn’t hold it in anymore. Over wings and a beer, he blurted out, “Dude, I feel like you’re ditching me.”

Daniel nearly choked on his buffalo wing. “What? Bro, no way!”

Jake laid it all out: the Friday nights that used to be theirs, the inside jokes that now needed explaining, the betrayal of kale smoothies.

Daniel got it. “Man, I didn’t realize. I’ve been wrapped up in Emily, but you’re still my guy. We’ll figure this out.”

From that moment on, their bromance rebooted, Adam and Anwar made some changes. Adam set aside regular “bro time,” and Anwar started hanging out with Emily, too. Turns out, she was pretty cool—and her kale smoothies weren’t half bad (though he’d never admit that).

Instead of feeling like Emily was “stealing” Adam, Anwar started to see her as an addition to their squad. They even came up with a new inside joke: anytime Adam ditched plans, Anwar would send him a GIF of a lonely penguin.
