My friends are really starting to hurt my feelings...WHAT DO I DO?

So, this past year my husband and I bought a brand new townhome. Its pretty nice, and I love it! Its not a mansion or anything..I think its about 1300 sq ft, but its perfect for us for now, and eventually when we have a baby it will be perfect also! Anyway, all of my friends rent...some have apartments, and some of them rent houses. The ones that rent houses are paying the same amount or more as we are paying...even though they have a house they are just renting. It just really hurts my feelings because my friends never said CONGRATS to me, and they usually just have negative comments to say. One of my husbands friends and his wife are having a baby, and today he told my husband that he wants to rent a home in the same area we live in, and he asked my husband why we bought a townhome? Also, we are military...so, its nice to have the lawn taken care of if my husband leaves! I would love to have bought a house, but this area is expensive...what can I do?

1. its jealousy and envy. they really want what you have. brush their silly attitudes off
2. They're just jealous. If they're acting like that, there not true friends....they should be happy for you. If they keep that up, I would cut ties with them....perhaps let them know just what you think first, give them a chance to make things right. If they don't....ta-ta!!! Congrats on your new townhome!!!
3. if they arent paying your bills, who cares what they think, just dont invite them over
4. their just jealous that you have a home thats actually theirs and at the end of the day your winning because your putting your money to something thats actually yours their putting their money into someone elses pocket that is only good for a month : ]
5. ignore it. their just jealous
6. why do you care what your friends do or think? CONGRATS will not pay the bill so get over it.
