Now that my husband has a great job, people treat us different?

My husband recently got a high profile job with a promising company. Now it seems like people suddenly want to be around us, ask for jobs, be friendly, etc. These are the same people that never gave us the time of day before. On the other hand, friends we had before won't even look me in the eye anymore. I am a down to earth person, who just likes people for who they are, not what's in their bank account. Why do people change their attitudes about you once you get a chance to move up in the world?

to the people who are now suddenly being friends, dont give them the time of day because if they are only coming around now, its the whole money thing. obviously they are not true friends at all.
for the friends you had before, talk with them. hang out like you've done before. they may feel insecure now thay you have more money that they can't compete. keep doing the same things you have done before. hang out at the same places, go to the same restaurants, show them it doesnt matter how much money anybody has, just the real friendship that counts. show them that it doent change who you are as a person. eventually they will probably realize the same thing.
sometimes people are afraid of change or people have more money than you. they get afraid that money changes people, they way you spend and things you can afford, the people you hang out with, they may even think that the things you liked before are not good enough anymore. for the others that havent been around, now they thing they can get ahead using you. just remember who your real friends were and continue the relationship with them the same way you did before. show them that the most important thing about them is the friendship, not the money they do or dont have. true friends stay together no matter what. i hope things work out in the end for you and your husband.

Your friends probably feel the way they do because they think you are going to just stay stuck in the big life, buying rich things and hanging with rich friends. They may think that you are going to just up and leave no that you have a shot at the rich life! I would suggest talking to you friends and tell them that you will never leave them as friends just because your husband got a better job. I mean, you love your friends, right? Well let them know it!
people are funny .. they become jealous,insecure about themselves,It is all keeping up with the Jones if you play into that garbage... your true friends will be happy and they will not change..that's how you know who is a true friend.....
