I need some perspective about my friends, I can’t tell myself because I’ve never had many friends.

So we’re all well into out 30’s, and yeah - totally inexperienced, I’ve made my peace with for the most part.

But my friends make this little jabs about it, I guess they always have, just to be clear I don’t bring up this part of my life (little embarrassed) and I get kind of mean comments here and there.

So, if you had a friend / person in your life who’s never dated etc. would you comment on it, or be mean about it.

I’m just asking because maybe I need to let them go…

YANBU = no I wouldn’t comment
YABU = yes ai would ”joke” about it, make comments

It sounds like your friend/friends are not actually your friends - sound like a bunch of cunts. Those "jokes" are fucking horrible.

I have two friends, one late 30s one mid 40s, neither of whom have ever dated. If someone made any joke/comment like you describe to or about them I would shut them down, and I wouldn't stay friends with someone who made these kinds of comments to someone else more than once.

What you're describing is just really shitty behaviour - I think you need new friends! I couldn't care less about my friends relationship status so long as they are happy!
