She called my dh a geek!

[time4me]

When I was at uni with a mate 25 years ago there was a bloke who was as she described,like an overgrown schoolboy.
He had zero sex appeal,and was called (lets say) John Smith.I lost touch with this friend,she emigrated to Australia but I saw her again after 25 years this weekend.She lives in a huge house worth about half a million in Sydney,swimming pool etc etc.I took along photos of my dh and dc.She said she never thought I would ever end up with a type like John Smith.I was really annoyed and got quite angry with her,and told her my dh had had loads of girlfriends before he met me,and that there was no comparison. Also she didnt make a single comment about my children,one of whom has severe disabilities. She never said something like oh they are beautiful ( like you do,iuswim).I left feeling I dont want to see her again,and now I know why I had lost touch!

Nowt wrong with geeks, but I can see why it annyoed you, 'lose touch' again and don't think anymore of it.

Just make sure you lose touch again,she sounds very self centred and immature.

You didnt meet up again on Facebook did you? It always seems like a great idea at the time but then you spend the rest of your time to trying to shake them off as you remember why you "lost" touch in the first place! I have got back in contact with people again, met up thinking they can't possibly still be bitchy/ immature/ smug like they were at school can they? After about 10 mins, it appears they can!!

She sounds very rude, I would try and lose contact again!

Very nasty behaviour. I'd forget about her.

She sounds like an ar*ehole.

Tell her I hate her.

and me. perhaps a swimming pool ain't everything in life, and she's desperately unhappy in her cold and sexless relationship, but all the while her face is fixed in a rictus grin of self-congratulation?

DS1 is a geek and proud of it.

Like they say, "what do you call a geek when he leaves school"? "boss"

ucouldnotmakeitup - so true! I wish someone would call me a geek...

Forget about her - she might be jealous of your settled family life. Just lose contact again.

Charming - still, now you know what you were (not) missing.

Do you have things that she doesn't? Like a happy marriage, kids, cosy home life, relaxed friendships. She could be unhappy and in denial about it and focused on trying to impress everyone about how well she's done and how great her life is. So the things that are most odd about her behaviour (not complimenting kids, being rude about your DH) are nothing to do with you at all and everything to do with what's lacking in her life.

It's still very unpleasant behaviour though, and you're probably best off away from her.

know youve realised why you lost touch!she doesnt sound like shes worth worrying about!just 'lose' her contact adress/numbers.whoopsy

She's probably jealous.

half a million Aussie dollares is about 45p

(Not insulting Aussies, just having a quiet joke)

i whole heartedly agree with jojosmum. 'losing touch' is nature's way of saying you've completely outgrown someone who's incapable of growing up themselves. in the back of your mind you sometimes wonder 'what if?' and 'why?' and then you get back in touch and think 'oh - that's why!!!'

Idiot woman, your better off without her. I aspire to being a geek.

For her to tell you what she has with regards to house and stuff shows shes just material......a friend of mine when we first met came to my tiny house several times indeed stopped for tea and i gave her little girl a bashed up bike that my boys had finished with and she gave me her old magazines and stuff (this ws when i lived in lincs) we walked everywhere together with our babies in prams bought big packs of ice lollies for our kids to share rather than buying off the ice cream van etc etc .......one day we decided to go shopping further afield and so we didnt have to catch the bus she borrowed her dhs car it was brand new range rover on the way back we stopped at her house bjesus she had about 8 bedrooms and it was hugggggggggggge - but our friendship wasnt built on her being wealthier than me (her dh was hunk too) and we just carried on as before albeit with degree of envy on my part -and when i became pregnant gain she loaned me her vast maternity wardrobe .

Forget about her. She sounds thoughtless and silly.
BTW john smith prolly grew into a major hunk- a boy at our school was just like that and he's gorgeous now and married to a lovely friend of mine!

lo- my sister is in OZ and she calls their dollars the pacific peso!

BTW, I am a geek, too!

DH is King of the Geeks.

Your friend sounds highly obnoxious. Drop her!

What's the difference between geeks and nerds?
See, I think DP is a probably more a geek than a nerd, but my spongebob tee says I heart nerds, maybe I need to replace it.

I find geeks very sexy actually!

I went to my 20 year school reunion a few years ago and the guys who had been desperately geeky at school were almost all confident, funny and sexy. The guys who had been 'cool' and good looking were long past their prime.

I've always liked geeks, in fact I married one. Of course he looks like a Bollywood star too, which is nice.

She sounds very superficial. Ditch.
