Have you ever just disliked someone that is dating a person close to you like a good friend or sibling? What do you do? I just smile and bite my tongue but I can't stand my sister's boyfriend. How do you all handle it?
I didn't like my brother's first wife. She was immature, a drama queen and just really unpleasant. She would start fighting with him over THE most pointless, petty things. Example - she once asked him to grab her some mozzarella sticks while out. He forgot. That turned into a whole a*s situation. She was legit mad. Like it wasn't a joking "thanks for the mozzarella sticks" kind of stuff you laugh about. No. She started yelling and saying he didn't care about her and stuff. It was absolutely ridiculous.
I mostly just kept quiet on the situation. I only went off on her one time and that was when she tried to drag ME into her drama. I wasn't having it and I let her know about it. Needless to say, I won that little battle.
Divorce sucks and I typically wouldn't wish it on a couple, but I was pretty glad when I found out they were divorcing.

YES!
My sister used to date a guy that put his hand on her. And one time when he came over I heard him screaming down stairs (her room is in the basement) and they were outside and I saw her crying. So I yelled at him saying he is not allowed to be here. And that he better hold his breath when he is in our house cause he is not allowed to breath the air. 😂
Then my mom threaten to call the police if he didn't leave and then he left

Oh yeah, more than I care to admit. Several of my friends would date someone I -knew- was bad for them or wasn't a good match for them. Or something about them just... rubbed me the wrong way.
Of course said friend just thought I was being "jealous" of their relationship or the other person.
I just avoid said person or stay out of their way. Because no matter what you say or do? They have to learn the hard way. Sucks, but it's true. So I usually distance myself from BOTH of them. I'll be cordial, but I won't try to befriend the other person, get to know them, or talk my friend out of dating them. Just watch from a safe distance until they wake up or come crying to me about how said person hurt them and I was right.
Not hated. But toleratedā¦
Omg I hated my friends boyfriend in school. He was so controlling but also just plain weird. I had to go on a school trip once and he was going and I had to spend the whole time with him it was horrible. I of course had to be nice and pleasant with him though so I always was. They ended up breaking up because she realised how controlling and childish he wasā¦lucky escape! He started being abusive towards the end.
Hated another friendās boyfriend because he was incredibly abusive and controlling too. He was even jealous that she was getting a degree and making a life for herself so would try to manipulate her into dropping out. They broke up but he caused a lot of problems for her that she is now trying to work through.
Other than that Iāve liked my sister and friends exes until I found out they cheatedYeah for sure! Only a couple times I absolutely hated a friends girlfriend honestly because she was a raging controlling bitch but thatās not as common. A few of my friendās girl friends or exes have hated me but like in the worst way; low key hate. The crazy thing is my friend is the toxic one and has all the reasons in the book to be the hated one from just his drinking and reckless behavior alone. Itās kinda hard for me to imagine because weāre all adults here but I know itās strong jealousy for sure! Yeah itās annoying and uncomfortable being around someone whose not feeling your vibe but, oh well! I personally donāt give a fuck because I know I really didnāt go out of my way to make bad comments or gestures. The best part is that they are not my girlfriend and I really donāt have to like them if im feeling them (thatās my friends job) and I can choose to avoid them.
Meh, I suppose. If I don't like someone that is suddenly an item with a friend or something, I just distance myself from both of them. I take the "Not my problem" approach.
Later on they might break up and I'll just let a bro know by saying "Why do you think I quit hanging out? It wasn't you bro."Yeah my best friends wife. I handled it by telling him all the negative things I saw. I spoke to him about her once before he got married then let it be. He has been married less than 2 years and all the issues I pointed out are causing issues for them rn. In my experience I say my piece from a point of love and respect then whatever decision they make I support.
Sisters boyfriend got her into drugs about 20years her elder and knocked her up 3 times, and was abusive. No matter what we could t get her to leave him. She is finally away from him but her life is in Ruins, lost all her kids and still an addict
Yes. I served a young Black woman for a few years as a non sexual sugar daddy and personal maid, etc, and one of the guys she was dating during my servitude to her was a mean, cruel nasty guy. Maureen loved to make me clean her apartment and serve them drinks whenever he came over to visit her, and he bullied, humiliated and abused me constantly.
No. But a good friend was dating someone really over the top and loud, was a little too much. When she left to go back to her home country she made a thing about saying how I hated her, I didn't but wouldn't have socialised with her if not for my friend.
Hate is a strong word. I definitely didn't like my best friend's ex boyfriend but I didn't hate him. He was such an asshole and a Gemini and we all know what male Geminis can be like.
My sister's boyfriend is pond scum. He almost died once and I was disappointed he pulled through.
Yes. Iām cordial even though they know I dislike them.
there's nothing else to do. I donāt have to like their significant other. As long as they like them, thatās all that matters. All I can do it be there for them.
Yeah. Nothing you can really do. If they're abusive, though, I talk to and support the friend.
I do everything in my control to stay neutral and try not to involve myself in the he said/she said but regardless of what I think if they never wronged me directly I don't judge
Yep and it was almost always because their boyfriends were talking down to them and calling them the B word OR because their girlfriends were talking down to them and cheating on them
Yes, I would never bring it up though. You just have to accept it.
Yes, my best girl friend was dating an ah and I didn't want to had nothing to do with him. He was posesive, selfish, and made uncomfortable to everybody. 3 months later they broke up and I couldn't feel happier for her
Yes w/o counting I would guess six or eight times. I still have a problem w my brother's girlfriend.
"Hate" is too strong a word, but this girl my brother was dating his last year of HS and first year of college managed to annoy my whole family. I think what he saw in her was "big boobs". Fortunately it didn't last.
Me. My sisters husband is such a snob and a stuck up. Me just ignore him 🤨
