Any SNL fans? Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis played this horrible couple who always chewed gum and spoke in monotone voice constantly asking each other "What? The what? The what? The what?" Really just the most obnoxious, self-absorbed losers you could imagine. Of course, since it's on TV, it's hilarious. Not so much so when that couple really exists and they happen to be my man's best friends.
I'll call them Jake and Jane. They live together, yet constantly break up. Jane will routinely contact my boyfriend for pot when she is out. Jake calls my guy everyday (EVERY. DAY.) and chats about NOTHING for like 2 hours. My boyfriend will literally put the phone down, walk away, then come back and begin to play video games, and Jake will still be prattling on about bullshit. He can't hold down a job for more than 2 weeks, he lives with his parents, he's one of those people who will start drama on Facebook, etc. He's like Snooki.
The final straw, the moment when I realized I could no longer continue to bullshit and fake a smile and casual friendship with this man was when my boyfriend left for China. He came down to visit me and we got a hotel room. Jake called him constantly and complained that they were supposed to hang out that weekend, and my guy had bailed on him. They had hung out the previous 2 weekends and had said their goodbyes. I was dumbfounded by this childish behavior from a 27 year old man. The day after my guy left for China, Jake posted a Facebook status saying "You have no idea what it's like to have to say goodbye to your best friend of 23 years as he goes to another country for 10 months." So I responded "Try being his girlfriend for almost 3 years and saying goodbye. You get to see him everyday. Get over it." His response?
"I know him better than you and it's not like you see him anyway. I miss him more than you do."
Really?
Really.
Anyone out there feel my pain? Was I wrong to be offended by this comment? How do I deal with the fact that I hate this loser but love my boyfriend? I don't EVER want to tell my guy to lose him, or pick one of us (that is immature and childish, and cruel to boot) but...this cat is crazy. His girlfriend, I can handle. Or ignore. Whatever.
Sorry. Just had to rant
