Friends constant showing off

[Misspollyhadadollie]

I'm single and until recently so was my friend. She's now in a new relationship (not that new about 9 months) and she just seems to be constantly showing off about it! I'm not even exaggerating! It's contact talk about him, constant saying how great he is, how lucky she is, how much he does for her etc. to the point that 90% of our conversation is about him. Aibu in finding it annoying. Especially since I'm single feels like she's rubbing it in my face.

9 months. Wait till she moves in and she'll moaning about snoring, wet towels on the floor and dirty socks etc. If is was 9 weeks I would let her enjoy her new 'in love' status. But 9 months you are entitled to utter a playful 'yeah, I get it. Can we talk about something else please'

Oh and while your at it. Ask if he has a brother You can double date

No, you are not BU. This sort of thing really irritates me. Friendship is supposed to be a two way street, not one person acting as a receptacle for the other’s crowing about their own favourite subjects.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. I bet his feet smell.

She's constantly updating me aswell. So it will be "he's here now" "he's just left :,(" he's the best guy ever, he's so great, I'm so lucky.

Update her on everything in your life then - "I've just had a fantastic bowel movement" "I'm so lucky I have an efficient digestive system" "My toilet must be the most comfortable ever" "This toilet paper is soooo soft on my perfect arse"
Okay so you may not have a friendship by the end of it but you'll make your point, enjoy yourself, and appreciate the efficiency of the modern sewer system!

Lol love that idea! Might just do it so she can get the hint! Sick of hearing how great he is.

Wow she's just sent me 3 voice notes on whatsapp and 2 of them are about things he has said. I'm literally updated on any comments he makes.

She is rubbing it it your face. I think you need a new friend.
Horrible wallowing gloating bitch.
Karma will have her. Smugness is her worse enemy.
Does the idiot think she's the only one in the world in a relationship.

Oh there's nothing wrong in being happy. However when you use that happiness to laugh at others and rub their nose in their shit is very very different.

Just be honest with her:

I'm thrilled that you are happy with but have you noticed that you are literally updating me on everything he says and does?! Please don't think I am being nasty - I am really pleased you are so happy but you don't need to share his every fart and sniffle with me!

YANBU. That sounds so annoying.

Do as a previous poster said and update her on every little thing you do.

"Morning Susan! Just had a banging shit #feelingblessed how's your day?"

I, too, think she's rubbing your face in it. What other reasons do the constant updates serve?

Tell her her constant updates are annoying but also let her know that you are NOT jealous and are happy for her. I had this same scenario & when I brought it up, I was accused of never wanting to see her happy and being jealous. I had to sternly point out, that I didn't need to be woken up with a text most mornings, telling me what a great Shag she'd had the night before

As annoying as she sounds and it is I doubt she’s doing it deliberately. Sounds more like she’s fallen for him and can’t stop talking about him.

Start yawning a lot.

"Morning Susan! Just had a banging shit #feelingblessed how's your day?"

Changed my mind - send ^^this instead

He might be annoyed about the oversharing, too!

PPs are really upsetting me because I haven’t had a 💩 for 3 bloody days! #BangingShit #BlessedBowels

Omg I'm dying at the #banging shit! You so need to do it...... She sounds like she's just happy but it would do my head in too, does sound like she's rubbing your nose in it. Hopefully she takes the hint!

My friend keeps doing this, and also saying to me 'don't worry, I'm sure you'll find someone like one day'. 🤢 so patronising.

Omg yes I get the "don't worry you will find someone soon aswell" the other day she was talking about them two going cinema to see jigsaw I was like oh yeh that looks good and she went "I would invite you along but.." I wasn't asking to come like I want to sit there with you and bf playing gooseberry was only saying it looked good!

Is he really all that? Sounds like she's trying to persuade you and herself!
