Good friend of around 10 years is terminally single. She's beautiful, smart, funny and kind but hasn't met anyone special since her last relationship ended before we met.
She has started seeing this guy. They seem quite besotted and are spending all their time together. I'm so happy that she's found someone that makes her happy. It's lovely to see just how content she is. Although it's fairly early on, I think he may be a keeper.
Problem is we all met as a group (around 10 of us) to meet him. We split off into smaller groups to chat and I was with him.
He's smart, funny and, I hate to say it, cruel. He made a "joke" about my appearance, which given the fact that we'd never met before, seemed wholly unnecessary (think something along the lines of pretty people usually have pretty friends-how did you two end up friends) I know I'm
Not much to look at and I've tried to make my peace with it. Day to day it doesn't bother me but it really stung and made me feel about two inches tall. I made my excuses and left the conversation (and the pub)
I've been agonising over what to do. I don't want to ruin what she's got going, but I don't want to have to suffer through his company again.
So I'm figuring I can decline all invites to which he will be attending, and head to the ones that he definitely won't be at.
Im torn. I think I'd want to know if someone I was seeing said that to a friend, but she's in such a lovely bubble, I don't want to ruin it for her.
