I've got a friend in a similar position
where she has been deliberately and rudely not invited or uninvited from things because friends of her blokes ex are going to be there.

Gradually he has realised that those friends can fuck off.

I hope my bf realizes soon
I feel awful about pulling him appart from his friends, though.

They ain't his friends.

Well, the problem is that the boys are great
They are cool with me, and even supporting, and very happy that I helped their friend to be ok again.

It's the stupid bitches of their girlfriends. Women!

Actually I saw a group of male friends behave that way once
So it can be anyone.

but usually it will be women
within my group of male friends we have all dated some fucking awful harridans (mostly my mate Adam) but we still accepted them into the group because they were with our mate.

I agree
Although I've seen some bitchy men, it's mostly us, ladies, that get silly with gossiping.

It must come with the genes, or something.

I said the same thing to my friend
they are being stupid and petty and need to grow the fuck up.

he's moved on so there's no reason for them not to. I don't know the circumstances of how you got together, but assuming there wasn't any cheating or anything going on when he and she were still together there is definitely no cause for them to be such wankers.

They think
We went together too soon, and should have waited longer for her to feel better. That's why they hate me.

Apart from one, who hates me because I'm Spanish and her ex-husband left her for a younger, prettier Spaniard.

ridiculous
maintaining a spiteful petty hatred because you and your bf acted in a way that didn't meet their approval.

And the ex left HIM
So why the fuck did he have to wait for HER to be ok???

that makes it even worse

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 11 May 2010, 14:48, Reply)

What makes it worse
Is the fact that the bf has had to stop doing things with his mates only because they don't like me.

I understand why he gets upset. He's not upset with me, he's upset at the situation. If it's only boys going out, everything is great. If there are girls invited, he's asked to stay at home or go without me. It's not fair on him either.

you have my sympathy

Nice on you!
And thanks. It's not really as bad as it sounds, most of the time we don't think much about it and go out with his mates.

Today it's being difficult, and I foresee a long night of talking, but I should be ok tomorrow.

Give time to time, it always works.
