    Bitter people bug me.... just because you don't or may not have great friendships or an amazing relationship with tour partner doesn't mean that people around you should walk on egg shells and change how they talk about who they love. Maybe you should reflect inside yourself to see why you don't have these things and try to change what's missing so you can... a hint for you though, your bitterness is probably a big part of it.

    I don't care if I post something on my Facebook about my dh being amazing, which he is, and nobody believes it because I know its true and the people that are important in my life know ot is as well.... that's all that matters.


    Sorry, emotional and moody today and this post just pissed me off... I am so sick when I read some of the confessions about how women hate their spouses and how unhappy they are, or how jealous they are of other people.... all those feelings can go away with a decision to make some life changes.

    Confession #137032

    • People who have "love fests" on FB irriate the fuck out of me. Why the need to throw it in everyones face how awesome your relationship is (~no one belives you) or what great friends you are (~nobody fucking cares)?

    I think that confession is just that a confession. Actually it sounds like a vent, but still not typically the type of thing most would share via email, FB or text. There have been times in my life where I've felt similar to the OC. It had less to do with others and more to do with ME and my personal struggles, but I can sort of understand where OC is coming from.

    I can see where you're coming from too though. Completely! As I'm now completely content and happy and share my life with an amazing partner. I do avoid mushy gushy FB statuses for the most part though. Just not really my style. I do give him the occasional shout out though ;)

    It doesn't make it right, but you know the saying, "Misery loves company."
    I'm as sexy as a burp mid-kiss. Watch out!

    That kind of thing pisses me off too, @newmomof2.  I don't think I'd call them "love fests" but BF and I are pretty lovey on the ol' facebook sometimes, especially if it's been a few days since we've seen each other.  It's kind of lame that our happiness would bother anyone, I guess it's jealousy that their own relationship either sucks or has gone down the shitter, or doesn't exist.  Even before I met him and I was single and lonely, I was still happy for the happiness of my friends. And aren't people on facebook supposed to be friends?  The "hide" and "unfriend" buttons are there for a reason, use them if it bothers you so, ya know?

    I'm a romantic I guess, I love love.

    LOL - @itgetsbetter - I assure you our loveydoveyness isn't like that!  I despise it when people talk like that, even to babies.

    I would be considered a "bitter" person about my own life, but not towards other peoples happiness. When I was pregnant my "sperm donor" disappeared, was really hating on men at that point. My best friend got engaged 2 months later, she called me and I started jumping up and down and squeeling I was so excited. I don't think every bitter person hates on other peoples happiness, just those that are jealous and don't think they can make the changes needed to get to that point of happiness.
