Hey, this wont be long as I'n going out soon. So basically my 3 besties are all cosied down with their guys and do a lot together as couples.weve been mates since high school(now late 20 s) and they always include me in outings (usually once per month minimum)but I'm starting to get fed up of it always involving their partners.not that I'm jealous at all, I'm happy for them all,but it reduces to couple talk like new decor ideas for bedrooms and stuff infront of me and it hurts. I feel like a bloody wallflower. Should I bring this up or would I come off quite bitter/jealous? I miss our days of girly chats just the four of us.but they are all really super into their " relationship goals" now.. helpHmm

Bring it up in a really un-emotional way. Next time they suggest you joining them, just say, thanks so much for the invite, but do you mind ifI give it a miss. I just feel a bit of a wallflower when it's all couples. If you ever want a girlie catch up I am up for it.

And make some new single friends. But they sound lovely and inclusive so do keep in touch by text and social media, and invite just the girls out sometimes. They won't always want to be joined at the hip with their men.

I agree with the previous post, I'd be seeking out new single friends. Have fun and enjoy our nights out with like minded people. Flowers

Why not actually arrange a girly catch up? Pick a place and say let’s go here, just us girls and have a good catch up.

I don't think you'll get anywhere bringing it up. Their interests are different to yours now. You are probably better to try and spend more time with people at a similar life stage to you.
