to feel sad for newly married friend?

[darleneconnor]

Her husband has put a 'change your name,woman' post on her facebook. I'm sure he think's it's funny but I think she's just moved to Stepford.

Also his favorite tv programme is '2 1/2 men' .

Wait 2 years and she'll be on the relationship threads.

I'm not close enough to her to openly criticise him, it all just makes me vv sad.

maybe not even 2 years

i have a newly married friend i'm sad for too.....i can see where she's going wrong,but dont feel i can say! but then i wonder....behind closed doors and all that

omg give it a break....they are in a relationship n ppl shouldnt interfere..i am sure u wouldnt want anyhone interfering in your life....be happy for her.....it might be an in joke for the pair of them

Wow, what a leap. I just read it as she has taken his name but hasn't updated fb yet, jokey banter etc.

I think unless there is more to it you are waaaaay over thinking this.

Dear God are you for real OP?

The post is a joke, non? I quite like 21/2 men too. It's too easy to read stuff into innocent remarks/behaviour. I would have been really upset to think friends were making remarks like that.

Wow what a nasty leap you made. Perhaps your friend has a sense of humour and her DH knows this??? Projecting much?

two and a half men rocks, who are you to judge what people watch on tv? the veiwing police? good grief it sounds like they have a good relationship, you know the type where people laugh with one another, you'd be devasted if i told you some of the things dh and i do to eachother, lol (oh another faux pas here in the world of mumsnet)we are a couple who enjoy a bit of fun, it sounds as if it was in jest, congratulations to your newly married friend, long may it continue ps last post on my hubbies wall read "mothers day, flowers and cards or i sell your car"

What offends you about it ? Why do you think it's a bit Stepford? I would have thought it a joke/

Also unsure about your remarks about a tv show - what's wrong with 2.5 men? would you feel the same if he watched law and order svu? big brother? emerdale?

I really don't understand why you feel sad for your friend :)

A empathetic and sensitive friend of mine said of my fledgling relationship with DH "I give it nine months".

11 years and two children later we're still perfectly happy so looks can be deceiving.

I reckon this is sweetygilly

Get a grip! Yabu!

It's not the tv prog that particularly got me, it was the fact he called her 'woman'.

If any man referred to me like that I'd be offended. dont others feel the same?

yes,calling her 'woman'.....its not nice

omg lockets i remember u x

would you still think the 'joke' was ok if it was racist rather than sexist?

Jokes that perpetuate prejudice AREN'T FUNNY.

What the green fuck? is this for real?

Hes obviously joking, chill out woman

Is your life and relationship so perfect that you have time to interfere in someone else's then you need to get yourself a hobby.

It wasnt racist or sexist though, so your post above is moot, or Moo as Joey from Friends would say.....

Okay....calm down. Some people refer to each other like this and it's not always sinister. Take it easy, you're going very OTT with this. Whatever you do, don't let your friend know you think silly thoughts like this, she will at best laugh, at worst distance herself from you.

omfg has the world gone mad did u get out of bed without your sense of humour, the pc brigade is in full force, get a firm grip of yourself, who is perpetuating prejudice????? go on i dare you.........laugh, nope thought not
