Fr like my best friend came into town with her bf and I asked if me and her could get lunch one day to catch up and she asked if she could bring her bf. I hadn’t seen her in MONTHS. I kindly asked if it could just be us and I agreed to do something with her and her bf after lunch, but I was kinda irritated. Like respectfully, I have no interest in third wheeling with you and your bf on OUR lunch date, especially when I haven’t seen you in a long time💀
why i explicitly plan events where he can be if i want to hang with him and my friends and i don’t even ask if he can come along when it’s only women or a one on one sort of thing like lunch or coffee. if someone wants him there, they’ll mention that he’s welcome to come to. the only time i ask is if it’s obviously a party/bigger event that will have more of a flow of ppl or if other ppl are already bringing partners with them.
Also another one of my friends brings her bf EVERYWHERE. Like when she would drive over an hour to see me, she would bring him along and he would be with us everywhere we went. He was really chill and super nice and I like him a lot, but sometimes I just want it to be my friend and I😭 I get SO bothered when my friends don’t even ask if they can bring their bfs LMAO I wanna talk about their relationships but I can’t if their bf is right there. Thank you for listening to my rant🙂↕️
i def wouldn’t mind if it were bigger group gatherings or even an occasional night out but this particular friend we used to do dinners with our friend group all the time and have movie nights and now either he has to come or she doesn’t go at all…it’s frustrating but also quite sad how little they seem to allow themselves to exist outside of each other
