4/2 I'm single but my buddy got married 2 years ago. My buddy says
his wife is trying to weed out all of his single friends, including
me. Why? why why why? What's wrong with me? I didn't do nothing
to her, why is she doing this to me? Bitch!
\_ Likely she just feels left out when he hangs out with you. If
you're married you'll have a wife to entertain her.
\_ Are you just trying to understand what is going on, or do you
want to affect the default trajectory. This seems to be a
simpler case since it appears your friend understands what is
going on, so it's up to him to explain or change. Or is your
real point, your friend is a loser for "letting" this happen
and you are just venting your frustration?
\_ Dirt common. There's nothing you can do about it. It is up to him
to keep his friends. I'm married but I prefer not to do couples
events so the same thing has happened to me several times. It's
just the way of things.
\_ Amusingly, after years of doing this to me, my wife recently asked
me why I don't have any friends I hang out with. She said my lack
of friends is "weird."
\_ what's "weird" is you begin by calling this "amusing".
I suppose there is something to be said for not losing your
sense of humor as you lose your friends.
\_ Eh, I've always been more family oriented than friend
oriented. It wasn't that big a deal for me. I'm odd.
\_ Then she didn't do anything to you. You didn't care about
your friends.
\_ Ok, I guess? So, forcing the choice between 2 good
things doesn't count as doing anything?
Or, to put it another way, caring more about A than B
means you don't care about B at all? |
