"An old coworker of mine referred me for a job at his company. He says they pay great so I went through the process and ended up getting a much better offer than I expected. I like working here and I want to stay, but the salary from this new place is just too good to ignore. Is there anything you can do to make it easier for me to decide to stay?"
If your manager takes offense to that, it probably isn't a great place to work in the first place.

Sure, and maybe my manager is sidelining me because I remind them of their ex. Anything is possible. As I said in the original comment, an objection is a sign of a place you probably don't want to be working at anyway. I would definitely jump at the first sign of trouble, but I would wait for that sign. I wouldn't assume there is trouble without any evidence or avoid trying to negotiate on the assumption that it will cause trouble.
