To all the single folks...is this true?

being single and having friends who are attached...do you support the relationship or feel jealous and why?





it's hard for me to complain about my bf problems in front of my single friends because they look at me as if "well at least you have someone"...and sometimes almost make me feel guilty that i have found someone and they haven't. when i was single, i listened to all my friends talk about their bf/gf problems...so what gives? are single %26amp; unhappy people just jealous? i want to be able to talk about my bf in front of my friends and not feel bad for doing so :(

To all the single folks...is this true?
Wel there are two sides to every situation. Meaning that sure friends can get jealous at times of a friend that has someone because they wish they had someone too. Or they like to have those qualities with a guy or girl for themselves in their own relationship. That is the one side of things. The other side is if you are constantly talking about your boyfriend problems. I mean I have a friend that is always yacking on and on about the guy she is dating and I don't get jealous because she is talking about him. Its just how frequently she does it that pisses me off. And its like the stupidest little things she can't figure out with him. Its like she lost her brain each time she gets a guy. That is why I get pissed off. Because its like she can't figure out what she would do with the guy on her own. She needs me to constantly come to and ask how to behave around him and what not. Its like if you were smart enough to land a guy in the first place and you know how to act when you are single then use your same rational thinking skills when with a guy. Don't ask me about every little thing. Now I don't know if you do this with your friends, but you should see how annoying asking them about every little issue is. I mean if its someting major, I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you out, but if its as simple as when you should call him or what you should wear when you go out with him or something, I suggest you use your own rational thinking. Because in all fairness of things, I think showing you can handle having a boyfriend in the first place, would actually prove to your friends that you aren't the type of person to get all whiny and dependent on others for guidance after you have made your own decisions to be with a guy. And probably have things working out for the better between you the guy and the friends.
Reply:It depends. If they have the kind of relationship I would like then I do feel a little envious. But that's not why I hang out with them. Plus it lets me learn a little about myself. If you talk about your probs with your friends, you can get unique perspectives from the ones who are attached and unattached. If you think it makes your single friends feel awkward then ask them about it or just pick another topic. That's my 2 cents.
Reply:by experience, it is so much easier to talk about lovelife to someone whose also in a relationship. They can relate better and u get a proper response...and you bet they show interest to listen as compare to loveless. (thou' not all ha).
Reply:they could be jealous but maybe the reason for the looks would be because they do not have much experience on that problem... i think it's better to ask those questions to the people who has the same status, they will understand you most of the times, if not always... if not, try to solve the problems with your bf...
Reply:well in general, people suck and get jealous..


i mean, my friend had a girlfriend and i didnt like the girl and he talkd about her and i was still jealous..


id just talk about it, and if they get mad, give your legitimate excuse for talking about him.
Reply:it depends on the the type of people you're talking to.


some people get really jealous


some don't.


you just need to find the type that wont bark at you when you mention your bf's name.


though if they're your friends, i'm pretty sure they'll listen :]
Reply:When I didn't have a boyfriend ,i admit i used to get jealous,so i would just listen politely!Deep down inside,i would feel bad!A lot of times,you have to consider other people's feelings.Just ask only those people who are involved in relationships!There are plenty of other topics to discuss besides bf/gf problems with single people!
Reply:some of my friends have boyfriends but i dont realy care because it never last
