How do I deal with a friend who rubs her relationship in my face?

[Anonymous]

I'm single and I don't mind it at all, to be honest. I'm not "sensitive" about it, or anything. But my friends keeps rubbing her relationship in my face. She keeps saying how it's so much better to be in a relationship than single. And when she asks me for a relationship advice, if she doesn't like my advice, she'll say "what do you know? you're single.". I'm tired of hearing of how big of a loser I am just for being single. What should I do?

[JudgmentDay]

Doesn't sound like a good friend at all. Just keep one thing in mind if you are single you'd never have to worry about dealing with a breakup some day, because more often than not IT WILL happen, because IT CAN happen. If you have nobody, you have nobody to lose, no compromises, no one to argue with, no one to get on your nerves, etc. Just be patient for now and just pretend you even give a fuck, and then when the cookie crumbles and when she breaks up eventually some day, and never say never, you'll finally see it for yourself, and you'll realize, geez I'm glad I wouldn't have to deal with that kind of miseries, pain, heartache, etc. If I were you, I'd minimize all contact with a friend if not constantly make up excuses to not meet up with them or talk to them. You want to know the real reason why they do what they do, BECAUSE THEY ARE INSECURE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND DEEP DOWN THEY ARE MISERABLE. So they try to make you miserable and put you down, etc. Well FUCK THEM, whatever goes around, comes around. Next time when she needs you, you can simply just ignore her altogether. It would be her own problems and issues, not YOUR problems, and therefore let her deal with, and if she ain't gonna even bother to listen or attempt what you advised her to do, stop altogether, let her do her own fucking thing and sort it out for her fucking self.

I'd minimize all contact with a friend *like that or has that kind of personality*...

[MrCryptic]

Tell her what you just told us. Just be like "Why do I get the impression that you are rubbing your relationship in my face and then burn me for being single sometimes?"

If you value her friendship then try to make ends meet with her. Tell her it makes you uncomfortable sometimes and you don't really want to deal with it. If she gets tude with you and makes fun of you further then don't be her friend. Best wishes.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Your friend sounds like an ass- and that's my censored opinion of her because she's your friend and you obviously care about her.

First off, if she doesn't like your relationship advice and mocks you for being single- WHY is she asking you for relationship advice? If she doesn't want your opinion, then don't ask you for it!
And for someone that's your friend, she needs to support you, single or not. Just tell her to stop rubbing it in your face as it bothers you. Also, there is nothing wrong with being single!
Some people, like your friend, just thinks being in a relationship equates happiness because they can't be alone- which says a lot about them as a person and their personality.

If she still keeps picking on you about it, just stop talking to her until she gets the hint.

I felt the same way

[Joe_Dee]

Here's the thing though...
If she has to ask a SINGLE person (let alone any person) for relationship advice, then her relationship isn't all that great.
She sounds like a real low down human being that's trying to act like a "friend".
So just do you.
And if she continues- cut ties with her.
Simple really.

Best answer I've seen

[hbtgv]

You can quote what Paul said in 1st Corinthians chapter 7

25Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. 27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.

First off, you're not a loser for being single. Being single is just a temporary state until the right person comes along. Being in a relationship is not a ways great either. I would flaunt how much FUN being single can be. If she asks for relationship advice slap her back with, "I wouldn't know nor do I care. I'm single, remember?"

[Gentle_Jess]

sounds like your friend is insecure. Be single and love every minute of it. You are free do do whatever you want without checking in with someone. You are free to flirt. You can wear whatever you want, and talk to whomever you want. Your friend cannot. Your friend is most likely jealous of your freedom.

[Factshurt90]

No need to be friendly. Just tell her she's being irritating and attention seeking and its annoying as hell. Tell her you don't care about her relationship and if she wants to keep being an irritating little snarky bitch she can delete herself. Then casually go back to your single drama free life like you didn't just tell this irritating cunt to fuck off.

[btbc92]

You stop TALKING to her. She is no friend of yours. Drop her. She sounds like she's jealous of you and wants to prove something to you. Trust me, sooner or later that relationship is going to bust and by the time she seeks your comfort your not going to be there. You know why? Because you'll be out of her life, and her number will be blocked and deleted. She'll be all alone, and it will wake her up to how she chooses to TREAT other people. Even her relationship is a farse!

[mintmint1990]

She doesn't sound like a real friend to me. Is she the only friend you have atm? I would suggest staying away from her and try to find a new friend. Being single is nothing to be ashamed of. But apparently to your friend, its the worst thing since someone invented pineapple on pizza lol

[Anonymous]

She’s not a friend.

Anyways if you want to be friends here’s how goes. Be honest!
Next time she says “it’s so much better being in a relationship” just say “why is it so bad to be single? Are you not able to be independent? “
Or if she says “what do you know?” Just tell her “then don’t ask next time or listen to my oooinion.” Then never give her an opinion!

Honestly, just drop her. She’s cancerous lol

[Gottabsavagee]

Ahh I would confront her the next time she’d say “what do you know, you’re single”, I’d say then why are you asking me, do what you want.

Just because you’re single it doesn’t make you a loser. It makes you a loser when someone is playing you or treating you poorly and you stay with them.

[hellacray]

Lol well you have a lot more freedom to do what you want cause you don't have a boyfriend.

Besides when she ends up with a break up don't bother helping her. Cause hey you're single and never in a relationship. You're not qualified to help someone experiencing a break up.

[uraslave]

Okay, I went through this exact situation and handled it wrong, so let me give you my advice that I've learned from my mistakes.

It's so fucking simple. JUST DITCH THEM!!! Being alone is 1 million times better than being milked for your jealousy! Just fking ditch em, don't tell em why, if they figure it out, good for them, if not, FUCK EM!!! Life sucks when your friends are shitty

[Anonymous]

Damn i feel you. Its like she has no idea what else to talk about. Im not bitter or anything too, but its getting annoying and boring af. What i do is try to change the topic a lot but it always go back to her boyfriend lmao. I really think im gonna snap soon.

[Opinion Owner]

Sometimes even though its not nice, i make it obvious to her that im not interested at all. By the way i talk and my face expression. She doesn't notice shit though

[Zer0Ghost]

"Being single isn't miserable for everyone just because you can't stand being alone"

[mermaidrocketship]

Sick burn.

[MasterKey18]

Don't give her anymore of your solid advice and find a friend whop isn't a bragger about herself.
Karma stinks and one day when you aren't around, she will be looking for you because of loneliness. Not a relationship.

[Rashad]

Distance yourself from her. She is hurting you and making you insecure.
It’s something you will pick up later in life. Single people don’t get along with married people. Different priorities in life, different mindset.

[9teen]

Lol, I left someone like that a time ago. So annoying. Discovered her boyfriend isn't as attractive as she described though. Usually people who brag about their relationship are really insecure about it.

[SarahsSummer]

First decide if you really are sensitive to this or not, it seems you are. Beyond that, if you don’t like the interactions you have with someone, stop having interaction with them.

[bizmarkee]

Fuck her. I've been single seven years and have dated off and on depending on how I feel. Eventually the right thing will come along and you'll know. Ignore her.

[Kenni]

The right thing?

[bizmarkee]

@Kenni The right relationship.

[Paris13]

Don't bother with Giving Her anymore of your Lip. It's not Appreciated.
Find a Friend who is a Good One, hun, And a Single, Not Some Pringle. xxoo

[lumos]

Drop her? She doesn't sound like a very good friend and if she brings you down like that (on purpose), you might as well not hang out with her at all.

[admles]

People who do that are insecure in their relationship.

It's like people who need to post their relationship all over social media, they need validation.
