kare...if only your friend would put herself in your shoes (as you're doing with her) you wouldn't have this issue.

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jan 5 '09, 10:46

I mean, I understand why she's doing it. but that doesn't make it right. And it doesn't mean you have to put up with it and have YOUR good time ruined because she's in an unhappy place right now.

And yes...it is being mean. I would never do that to a buddy who was happy.

Now, I will make as many "crack the whip" and "ball and chain" jokes as I can think of...but it's all in fun! :)

totally agreed. I used to be like kare's friend (but I hope far more polite). but then I decided to change perspective. - loosilu Jan 5, 10:51 20
- i was single for a long time and had flashes of "i want that" at times. and i worked my *ass* off to never let it show. you know? - kare Jan 5, 10:57 17
  - it's tough to be a single person in a crowd of couples, it really is. - Andie Jan 5, 11:03 15
    - the last person I knew like kare's friend took it so far to sabotage relationships of her friends. it was horrific. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:21
    - It's the main reason I stopped going to my brother/sis-in-law's gatherings. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:05 13
      - the thing is i really enjoyed being single, i never really felt like it was a bad thing. but somehow (and i KNOW it's not intended, ever) a roomful - Andie Jan 5, 11:07 12
        
        there were other singles at this gathering, but i definitely know. i've been there more often than not. and she knows this too. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 11:17 5
        
        do you think it's more than just singleness? Maybe you were her Single Buddy, someone she commiserated with? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:20 3
        
        I'll say it. Some women just want their friend's man. - con_carne Jan 5, 11:22 1
        
        oh no. she has a list of qualities she's looking for. he doesn't meet several of them. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 11:25
        
        there's that dynamic too, yes. though she imagined we did more than we actually ever did. - kare Jan 5, 11:21
        
        oh, if she wasn't the only single person there then she REALLY has to grow up. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 11:19
        
        yeah, it sure can. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:08
        
        I just hit on everyone's guys. - Amy Jan 5, 11:08 1
        
        *snork* -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 11:09
        
        Exactly. -- nm - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:07 2
        
        (note: This is the same sis-in-law that suggested their NYE party a few years back should be black tie. The girls were all going to wear their wedding - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:11 1
        
        jeez, I remember. so thoughtless. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:11
  - yeah, I totally understand. that's me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:58
- I don't understand. There won't be anyone who decides to go last minute? -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 10:54 1
  - Huh? This was meant to go somewhere else -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 11:03
;) thanks. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 10:51
