Think my husband is jealose of his best friend???

So my 5 yr old son has been wanting to get a bike like his unkle Jays (my husbands best friend), anyway we couldnt find one like that small anough for my son. Not mention it is a very expensive bike. So Jay decided to custom build my son an exact replica of his own, just in a smaller size, but he never said anything to me or my husband. He did a great job, he actually made a custom frame, and the painted it, he had to buy all the mechanical parts. It looks and works great, but I know he spend alot of money doing it. My husband is mad with him and is saying he over stepped his boundaries, but I dont see how. Could it be that my husband is a little jealose over the whole thing, because my son tells everybody that his unkle Jay built him the bike, and bragging about how cool it it.
Is my husband wrong for holding a grude with Jay? I mean its just a bicycle

Of course he is jealous, his best friend took the spotlight off him in his son's eyes. It seems like your husband has a big ego and since your son is gloating about how good of an uncle the best friend is, his ego is bruised. Really, he needs to stop being so immature about it and just appreciate what his friend did for his son. It's not just a bicycle to him, he feels that his friend replaced him as a role model in his son's eyes because he did something great for him.
Tell your husband to get a bike himself and go cycling with him, take him to a nice bicycling trail to bond with him instead of pouting about it.

I do think your husband is jealous....and he should get over it! His VERY BEST FRIEND did a wonderful thing for your and his son.....What he did took some time and effort and I don't think he made the bike to spite your husband...He did it out of love for HIS BEST FRIEND'S son....I don't think he overstepped any boundaries....If your husband continues to hold grudges like this with Jay....he is going to eventually lose him as his friend....

Maybe he's upset that he couldn't provide it for his son. But your hubby should be thankful, his friend is only living up to his Uncle role.

Not every kid has an uncle who loves him so much. Your husband is acting like a prick. He should be thankful. He just doesn't want to feel obliged to return the favor?

Maybe he senses that you admire Uncle Jay as much as the kid does...? Think about it.

Tell uncle J to make your husband a bike too.

it's the same as when a women sees another womer with bigger breasts, get it?

Your husband is sorta wrong for holding a grude over his best friend but then agin he isnt. He just feels liek he isnt good enuf for his son. mabey they need some bonding time. mabey him and your son and so to the movies and take a road trip. mabey just talking to your son might help. tell him that he made daddy sad and that he should go tell his dad that he is the best.... OH MY GOSH this weekend is fatherday and you and your son should take him out or make hm a great dinner. if you make it have your son help him. your husband will apreseate that and it might make him feel better.
hope all goose well.

yeah I would say he is disappointed about the uncle not informing him and maybe asking him to help so they could say they both made the bike. Really though I think he has a loving uncle your husband is just being a jerk about it he wishes he had the no how to build the bike and wishes the kid was bragging about him making it.

It is called brotherly rivalry brothers always tend to out do the other.
