Red flags... about you, not them. 
They supported you through a terrible time in your life, OP.
Are you going to ditch them now?

Of course I am not going to ditch them.  I have been friends with some of them for over 20 years.  I would be really upset to lose their friendship.  When I am asked what I am doing over the 4th, I say nothing.  [b]I am really going to southern Spain.[/b]  I have also supported them through a ton of crazy stuff so it isn't all one sided.[/quote]

NP. Not sure whether someone has mentioned this already, but if not... nobody says (or writes) that they're going to "southern Spain" unless they're trying to impress someone or show off. Nobody. They just say that they're going to Spain. It's like people saying that they're going to "the south of France". Yeah, yeah. I've been there too. Nobody cares. It's France. If people ask, you can give details. But even then, you'd talk about cities or landmarks, not say "southern Spain".

So as much as you say that you're "not trying to rub it in people's faces", you clearly are, even if it's in 'innocent' ways that you're not necessarily aware of because it's all so new to you and you're excited. I'm guessing that this gushing about how lavish your lifestyle has become is coming across in the things you're saying to your friends, whether you're aware of it or not.

If you can tone down the gushing and rubbing it in, then I'd expect your friends to be happy for you. Even if it does sound to me (and likely them) that he's just a rebound guy. But that's okay. They should still be happy that you're happy, even if it's just temporary. And if your friends really aren't happy for you in that case then you do need to get new friends. But just try to be aware of the things you're saying and how you come across.[/quote]
