"My Last Christmas as a Miss"

AIBU to secretly cringe when I read posts like this from my friend on social media?! And then to press like, when I'm really thinking "I can't wait for you to get married already so I won't have to listen to anything about your wedding anymore!" Xmas Blush

Given how many couples divorce I think she's counting her chickens tbhGrin

stevie69 · 25/12/2018 02:25

I use the title 'Miss'. It's what I've been all my life. I like it Smile

I could be your friend Grin I have a jumper that says my last Christmas as a miss Grin I do not bleat on about my wedding though and get married in August!

Augusta2012 · 25/12/2018 02:39

Meh. I don’t mind this. But then I’m one of those weirdos who takes pleasure in my friends’ happiness.

But I think DH's cousin is worse. She's pregnant and has put "our last Christmas as a family of four". Pregnant with first child - the 4 are her, her DH and their two dogs. She's even followed the post with 👩🏼👨🏻🐶🐶 to make it clear, almost as if she knows people will be wondering WTF she's going on about

GunpowderGelatine · 25/12/2018 03:23

A lifelong Ms here as well.

Reggie12 · 25/12/2018 11:34

Why are you all so jealous and horrible! Just be a friend and not a cunt

codenameduchess · 25/12/2018 11:47

Hit a nerve @Reggie12 ?? 😂

TheGoddessFrigg · 25/12/2018 11:52

Oh God are we friends with the same person? I saw this yesterday and thought Really?! This is an intelligent independent professional woman who's been living with her boyfriend for five years.

Hohohonooo · 25/12/2018 13:46

@TheGoddessFrigg could be!

I geniunely am happy for her, and I do feel bad for privately thinking the way I do, but I'm just not interested in weddings at all and am looking forward to the day itself being over so we can talk about other things, selfish I know Xmas Blush

I have so far refrained from posting anything about this being my first Christmas as a mum.

Took a photo of the 3 of us but we look awful (unsurprisingly with a newborn) so that’s not being shared publicly 😂

JudasPrudy · 25/12/2018 14:13

YANBU it's very annoying. I have a friend who posts on all her friends pages on their birthday a picture of them with her in her wedding dress at her wedding which makes me laugh.

I haven't seen 'she said YES!' This year yet!

Darkstar4855 · 25/12/2018 14:21

I don’t care what my friends post as long as it makes them happy. YABU.

Wintermam · 25/12/2018 14:34

Turning it around a little, is it wrong I'm cringing every time someone says 'enjoy your first Xmas as Mr and Mrs *'
Literally every time 🙈 and for anyone wondering, this Xmas is no different despite the name change and the marriage certificate upstairs 😂

ShadyLady53 · 25/12/2018 14:46

I’m so glad I’m not on social media anymore. I used to think “I like you in real life but online you are an insufferable twat.” 😂

starcrossedseahorse · 25/12/2018 14:49

Oh I can’t be doing with all that.
I’ve been a Ms all my life - single and married. I don’t see why some women are obsessed with being defined by their marital status

Me too. I find it a bit weird in this day and age tbh.

starcrossedseahorse · 25/12/2018 14:50

sparklefarts · 25/12/2018 16:02

Does your friends name start with an E?
I see the exact same quote

This will never end.

It will escalate when they have children/cat/guinea pig etc. Then you will be treated to the scan/ gender reveal/ birth/ christening/first birthday/ first day at nursery/school/ sports day/high school/university blah, blah, blah.

Some people are insufferable show offs. Just unfollow her.

thebaronetofcockburn · 25/12/2018 17:02

This type of twee, self-centred snowflakeyness is nauseating. And tedious in the extreme. I'd have to hide this person.

HildaZelda · 25/12/2018 17:06

Christ, they'd all hate me. Married for years and still as Miss because I never changed to Mrs HisSurname.

Hohohonooo · 25/12/2018 17:18

@HamiltonCork

I like seeing all those kinda posts, all the baby elf pictures today have been so cute, and one of my work colleagues announced her pregnancy and I'm made up for her. I'm just tired of hearing about this long awaited overhyped wedding. Also the emphasis on "Miss" and "Mrs" does make me cringe Xmas Blush.
