JealousE (Vent)

[letyourselfgo]

I'm friends with the sister of my latest ex. The ex and I are still very good friends.
The sister went on a POF rampage and dated about a dozen guys before she met this new guy and they fell for each other with the quickness.
Both of them have been single for several years.

After two months, she's barely around and she's moved herself and her daughter into the house of her new guy. When she IS around, all she talks about is "Me and New Guy did this!" or "Me and New Guy and his daughter and my daughter are going here!".

I'll admit.....I'm somewhat jealous. Okay....I am jealous. I'm on a self-imposed no dating/no men diet for the duration because I had an issue with constantly chasing guys around and them never reciprocating and never being approached by guys.....including my Ex-Husband and Ex-FI.
I'm trying to find myself and be comfortable with being on my own and not feeling like I NEED a man. So....

I live alone, for the first time in my life.....and hearing her stories about her guy this and her guy that are constantly coming is driving me nuts.

Everyone wants someone in their lives that reciprocates their feelings, I'm sure. I guess that I'm still in that stage of trying to heal myself.

Sorry it's driving you crazy. I understand how you feel about being alone for the first time. I'm moving into my own place on Friday, and I'm nervous about the whole thing. I've pretty much ALWAYS been Ina relationship and now I have to learn to stand alone. Ugh.

Yeah, I totally get it. 'Tis sucky.

Yikes a roo. I hope in time you'll learn to recognize that your friend is in an unhealthy relationship. She moved herself and her DAUGHTER in with a man she knew all of 5 minutes? Dear God in heaven.

There is nothing to be jealous of here. Are you in counseling?

Uh, yeah. This is NOT something to be jealous of. I side eye just INTRODUCING your child to a man you have dated 2 months. Moving in? This will not end well.

I am glad you are in counseling, don't date until you can recognize unhealthy relationships/redflags.

Yea I wouldn't be jealous of this relationship at all. But I will admit I tend to get jealous of friends who are in new relationships because it seems I always invest a lot of time in them and then I just get pushed to the wayside and only have their attention when the SO is out of town or something. I find it hella annoying. But this relationship itself? Nothing to be jealous of.

I'm not jealous of the relationship itself, I don't know if I made that part clear. There are other red flags about it, other than what I have said.

It's the fact that said friend has pushed the time we used to have together off for this guy. I am missing the girl time majorly.
