In some cases yes, but doesn't sound like it's possible in this situation. You even brought it up to her and she just shrugged it off and continued to do it. She also has no interested in your family life in person so doesn't sound like she cares to be a friend to you at all.
Is it possible to maintain a friendship with someone who is jealous of you?
I posted this the other day-
Most people responded that she is not my friend and that my husband is right, she’s jealous. Like I said she greatly struggles within her life and has a ton of trauma. I try to keep that in mind and am always very kind and sympathetic with her. She has been my friend for SO long but I am growing very tired of being passive aggressively bullied by her. This morning I woke up that she laugh reacted at a picture of my husband and and I and commented “did you enjoy dinner? There’s some of it still left in your teeth”. Now she would never say anything like this to me in person. However I’ve realized she also will not talk to me about my life. She has zero interest in my kids and husband. When I talk about them she says “hmm…” and then changes the topic back to herself. Back to the jealousy thing, I guess it would be become she desperately wants a relationship + kids buuuut has NEVER had a boyfriend in her life. I’m just wondering now if this is even worth trying to save. Can you remain friends with someone who is bitter you have things they don’t?

I think you sort of answered your own question, she’s not interested in your family life and pokes fun at you whenever she can. She may have low self esteem and wants to put you below her to make herself feel good. Unless you’re ok with that, then sure you can be “friends” but that’s not what friends do especially at the expense of a person. She needs to work on herself and you don’t need to be her punching bag.
I don’t think so no, it’s obvious she’s jealous, she’s trying to humiliate you online, you say she’s never had a boyfriend? And she has no interest in your family? Are you sure there’s not more too this on her side? Is she in love with you? Is there secret feelings? Something doesn’t sit right with me with her behaviour

This is exactly my thought too… woman in her 30s never had a relationship? Hmm
Your best friend should be encouraging you, building you up, even defending you if need be. It doesn’t sound like she wants to actively put in effort to be a friend, more like it just has been this way for so long that she doesn’t value or respect you. I LOVE seeing my friends successful, happy, looking beautiful, ect. Even if I felt some jealousy (we all have!) I would never shit on someone else to make myself seem less shitty. Ya know? She’s toxic. Live your happy life!
