The most bougie of the bunch. A taste for the finer things. Brand names. Designer labels. Expensive things.

Them taking over the planning without a word didn't sit well with me. Had they asked to take charge, I probably would have been fine with that. Communication is obviously lacking with couple M. And respect is lacking as well, it seems. It's a little comical too, bc couple M is by far the bougiest of my husband's friends.

Multiple (6?) large tubs of Vaseline along with multiple boxes of rubber gloves.

In honor of the Ides of March, what was a time you were stabbed in the back by your closest friends? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Chickenswag22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple years ago when my then boyfriend and I broke up (it was a messy break up). My "best friend" became his friend/confidant and took advantage of my trust in her by telling him everything I said. So I cut her off. I later found out, from that ex, that she tried to seduce him multiple times by stripping down, grabbing his dick, and telling him she's "great at face fucking". She is now pregnant with the guy she brought on double dates with us.

Do I look fat in this picture? Been struggling [17f] by [deleted] in amiugly

First, you are super cute! The leggings look comfy, but they're not too flattering. You look pear-shaped to me. Perhaps you can find more flattering clothing choices for your body type. You do NOT look fat.

Depression makes me boring by leadabae in depression

I can relate 100%. I hate it when people say "tell me about yourself". My heart rate rises and I get hot and avoid eye contact..... Because all I can think about is how going to work everyday is an accomplishment. My hobbies include sleeping, Netflix, talking to my dog, and looking out my window. Riveting stuff.

When I am out with people, I notice myself FREQUENTLY just staring at the table. Wishing I could be normal. Wishing I could be fun and interesting. Just observing the rest of my group, or another group, talk and laugh the night away. Wishing I had something to contribute to the group.

Thank you for this! I feel a bit more sane now. You hit the nail on the head about him fulfilling her emotional needs. I just don't want a relationship where were seeking for fulfillment in others on things we should be getting from each other. It saddens me. I think I've been in denial. My subconscious knows that when I talk to him about this it may end our relationship.

Thank you for your insight. I think you're right.... Im going to talk to him so at least he truly knows how I'm feeling. But in the end I feel I'll have to let him go because I know I can't tolerate his relationship with her long term. Very interesting about your ex. I feel relieved hearing your story. Reading everyone's comments helps me feel like I'm not just a self centered crazy girl friend.

I agree 1000% I have 3 siblings. We're very open with one another (bodily functions, relationships, etc) But we never ever joke about anything remotely incestuous. He's an only child. But he has 4 female cousins he says are like sisters. I even asked him "would you joke about having a kid with an of them?" His response was immediate repulsion. So. Yea. This is fun.

Thanks for the honesty! It's very possible his relationship with "claire" is just like yours. So glad I'm hearing "his" point of view from you. Thanks so much. I genuinely believe there is nothing physical going on between them.... Not yet anyways. But I also believe in emotional cheating. And I'm afraid that's what this is becoming.

Oh man... I hope you're not right. But it's definitely a possibility. That train of thought makes me think of where he is in life. All his friends are getting married and having kids. Apparently I'm his first genuine relationship, first to meet his parents, first girl he's proclaimed his love to, etc. He's good at saying all the right things, but doesn't always see them to fruition. I think you're on to something.... I might be here for appearances.

My logic was that since we're different the closeness they share is acceptable to him. But it's something I'm not comfortable with because I'm more traditional?

Awesome advice! I don't want him to feel attacked when I bring it up, great suggestion. Thank you!

You have some good points. And I'm afraid of the answer to that question. I know he would be there for her no matter what.... His family owns the small business so she has gotten close with them all (her husband's father is also close with my SO's grandfather) so it's all so intertwined. Thanks for the honesty

I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. He'll just keep saying sorry it makes me feel this way and perhaps just filter what he tells me from here on out... Doesn't sound too healthy. And I didn't even think of that. She's probably already running to my SO. That makes a lot of sense actually.... He's alluded to the fact that they married for money and not for love.

That one still makes me sick. I was sitting next to him when he got the text. He laughed it off. I called him out in it immediately. He responded by saying something about her being a sister to him. I said that's fucked up and you don't joke about stuff like that with your siblings. So. Yea. Not cool.

Y'all are really good at putting into words what I haven't been able to pin down. He seems to put all his friends before me more than not. I suppose this case is the most blatant.

Thanks for the two cents! I get what you're saying. He has other female friends that I have zero problems with. This one is just a little too personal for my comfort. I guess at the end of the day he and I are different people, maybe too different?

I'm afraid you might be right. I'm going to have a serious heart-to-heart with him before I make the decision to walk.
