Weird or Relatable: Sometimes I'm Jealous of My Single Friends

I have been in the solo club for such a very long time. I know that in due time though I will find my girl/woman. I guess if you are truly happy and satisfied with yourself before a woman even comes along makes a lot of difference. Love everything about yourself first and then you can share good things with someone only when you are ready. The Lord only knows when you are ready. In fact he is loving you all the time i.e. this very minute. Good luck to all of those who are single like I am.

Absolutely, I would have and have had a problem; the only way it would be okay is if it was just someone I went on a couple of dates with and did not have an actual relationship with or strong feelings for...then it's okay, and best of luck to both.
I have actually had friends ask in regards to ex boyfriends, and the answer is always NO. If they choose to proceed, that is their choice, but then the friendship is over or at least, there is great distance. It's tacky to date your friend's exes,a betrayal of trust/boundaries, etc. That's my take. (Think about the details, not the abstracts)

If it makes you feel better, I am totally jealous of ALL my friends who are married or engaged. Seriously, I am the only single gal out of all of my friends and it gets really hard to be around their cutesy cuddlyness or their baby stories. When it's just me, at work, or out in the world, I feel okay that I'm single, but it's hard to quell the jealousy around my friends when I am the only one left.

I dont get jealous of my single friends or my single sisters. I love my married life. Almost 11 years together. I love coming home to my husband and children. I am only 28.5 years old, I am living my dream with my husband. DOnt miss the single life. its too scary now in days.

everyone here is acting like single people are SO ALONE. they have no one to go home too. they live a miserable solo existence. not true. we have ourselves. we have families. we have friends. we learn to cultivate relationships with all types of people instead of focusing all of our attention on just one. when i need a shoulder to cry on or someone to understand- i have multiple people i can go to. and even if i don't want to go to bed alone at night, i have plenty of girlfriends (single and married) who would come over to keep my company.

it isn't until you embrace your singlehood and find the joy in it that you meet someone right for you. once you learn to love and accept yourself, you are ready for someone to love.

I enjoy being single because I enjoy being me more than being anyone else. When I get married there'll just be more people to go through to get somewhere. Wash the kid, dress them, and see if they can stay clean while you tell your husband to put on that tie you picked out.

Wierd! Anyone who enjoys the first fews weeks of a dating relationship needs to have their head examined. Until you reach a stable, committed point, courtship is a living hell of uncertainty and torment.

You know what! Married women have no right to bitch. They have their husbands, we had to play bridemaids and cater to Bridezilla for the big show, and now that she is bored with him it's like... "oh I wish I were single cuz your life is more exciting." How the tables have turned. For those of us who marry later rather than sooner, and have to endure the pity glances, blind dates, and awkward explanations at family gatherings as to why we are still single, we have a right to enjoy what dating gives us. Adventures (good and bad) meeting new people, looking fabulous, staying fit, and showing off our shoes. We have chosen to remain single for the time being. And when we meet that fabulous guy and marry, then at least we squeezed out every last bit of fun before moving to the next level. and we don't rub anyone's face in it either.

Thank you, Appletini! Being single would be easier if our married friends would be more understanding. If I had a dollar for every awful bridesmaid's dress. But not only are my taken friends jealous, they also pity me and my "lonely" state. How does that work? And I'm no fun because I'm the third wheel...because if I would just date someone then we could double! Right? Well guess what, I have dated all the losers out there. ALL of them. And I'm not going to date another just because my singleness makes you feel awkward.

I'm putting out an ad. Wanted: single female or signle gay friend. must like me as a single gal. must not be in danger of getting engaged any time soon.

That the problem with married women. They think that once they got their man, they can stop being sexy and flirty. Oh no, you NEVER stop being your man's sexy, flirty girlfriend! Just because you married doesn't mean other women will respect that. The game just got more fierce! Gear up again because the homewreckers are coming!

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Not every single got date or dates!!

i don't feel jealous about my single friends...i love my married life...you can glamourize the single life up all you want...everybody aint being romanced night after night...a lot of it is drama filled and game playin...no sir...you single folks can keep that to yourselves!

Now I'm jealous of Billy Z.

If you find single life exhausting and no fun, no wonder you settled. :)
Not being a hater, but being single isn't for everyone. Being in a couple isn't for everyone either. Yes, dates can suck, but for everything bad there are good things too.

now to answer your questions.... my fav fictional character(s) are the chicks in the movie "The Sweetest Thing" i love camron diaz and christina applegate in that movie. its too funny! and the sweetest thing a guy did for me was surpise me with a sterling silver butterfly ring (i love butterflies), right after i woke up from a nap. he was a cutie and a sweetie, but we just werent right for each other.

To find out what a real sensitive man is all about, read the newest book out there "Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male. It is available everywhere books are sold and really "cuts through the typical facade of relationship 'politics' and teaches the roots of true, lasting happiness." Whether you are single or married, the truth is we always want what others have...right or wrong?

I hear you!! Even if I was married, the thing that gets me about married women is that they always begin sentances with "My husband thinks/says/does...." and that drives me nuts. If you are married and still have single friends, you CAN have a girls night out and have fun. Just don't forever be talking about your husband and who would make a good date for us, because single gals don't wanna hear it.
Here is the big secret about being married: Those that have big weddings (I lost someone to a cow) and have to spread your wedding all over the pages, this is the last time you will ever look good, before you gain weight, pop out kids, and never ever fit into your skinny jeans again.
