Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
I don't really know too many girls though that would rub it in.
Maybe I have a different social circle but if I think about it...not a single person has ever made me feel like I was less than for being single. Yes, I have come across some but those have been very few and they were not my friends. Just people I met at a social gathering who happened to be a bit...socially awkward...to put it gently.
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
I once met this girl at my cousin's place so after being introduced to her i just asked her casually so are you married, she was like " OF COURSE I AM "
First and the last time i ever spoke to her again !!!
But yeah there are lots of girl like this. Usually girls who got married while still in their teens and have no life besides their marital life. Its their mothers who have told them right from childhood itself that your life's only accomplishment is being married.
Some are scared of every singly girl out there might want to steal their hubby away. So the need to mention how happy they are!!
But of course I know ton and tons of married women who are just normal girls who have an extended family ( hubby +kids).
You know the other thing that gets me is why do married women mention their husbands name like 10000 times in a day. Not in a mean way but just generally. Yikes. Both my married friends hubby this, hubby tht ufffffffff.......

^ Guilty 
Maybe because for some, what he says or does is so ingrained in our mind that we always bring them up…
I know ppl who have kids and always bring up their kids, not necessarily hijack a conversation about their kids but just mention them…so it’s the same with husbands too…
It does take some effort to NOT mention him all the time..not sure if husbands are guilty of the same.
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
Now someone start a thread about the mother who brags ad nauseam about her 'special' relationship with her son, and the son who feels the constant need to remind everyone how no woman can influence him more than his mother (or sisters) but can't figure out why he's still single. Oedipus must've been a closet South Asian.
:D
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
I knew a girl like this at uni who just loved "bigging up" her mundane life!
If some friends were talking about something completely random, like... apples. She would interupt the conversation and make up a quick story that would involve her boyf.. "Oh yeah, Insert bf's name sisters, best friends, cousin makes the best apple pie ever. Me and *insert bfs name * had some at the weekend when we went to hers for dinner"..
Grey socks: "oh, I bought insert bfs name here Dad some grey socks for xmas, they had homer simpson on them".
Coffee cup holders: "Oh, insert BF;s name here collects the coffee cup holders everytome **insert name here" go to Cafe Nero.,."
The list goes on and on and on and on..
She was so FRICKING annoying!!

^You know there is GS member like that too here.
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
lol..i dont necessarily mind that at all. I think some of my married friends do it because they just genuinely love the thought of talking about their husbands. I dont really care if it makes them feel good!
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
Haha it's just cos some girls are sad enough to think that our world revolves aroudn them and we need to be as self obssessed as they are!
You should just start talking about how wonderful your life is when they start saying their happy happy joy joy claptrap. I have a friend who would always compete about how she was more miserable, or had more friends, or had a better job. I got so fed up of it I'd open my mouth straightaway and tell her some lumbiiiiiiiiiii stories about my life etc etc
soon shut her up :D
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
Some people are more thankful for the blessings that they have sincerely wish well for others. The there are others who are less thankful and brag more. And with the latter group...I sometimes wonder if they ever have those moments where they reflect over their behavior and scared about the thought that Allah just might take it away from them ...to make them more humble. The higher the pride goes...the more painful the fall can be. People can be such a$$es.
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
hmmm some may also be overcompensating and are not happy in their married life and wishing that they were single again... you know, the grass is always greener and all that
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls…
^Yep, that too :k: They’re still being an annoying a$$ though.
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
:'( being single is a disease.:'( :'(
but sometimes these girls are sharing stuff with their best frans.i dont like hearing such stuff so whatever.
Re: Why do married/in-relationship girls..........
I don't think that EVERY time a woman shares something about her husband/kids....that she's doing so with the intentions to hurt single women. Let's say that you have two people of the same profession.....they get together and spend a considerable amount of time talking about their jobs....but that doesn't mean they're necessarily doing it to hurt others who don't belong to their profession...but more because they relate better to one another. I guess when you get married...so many of your decisions that you take, your activities, your thoughts, your schedule...are connected to/influenced by your spouse and kids.
The problem arises when someone has no sense of balance in their conversation...in that it reflects little to no other interests. And then, yes, there are women who do it to be snide and often times you can tell by their body language/tone/frequency of certain comments.
There's one thing that I've noticed (and I don't know if other women have as well)...but when some friends/cousins, etc get married.....they become distant....like they don't know you anymore or like you cease to exist. It's like something shifts in their character. And it's MORE than just the increase in responsibilities. The conversation just doesn't have the same flow it used to. ANd I know that this doesn't happen with everyone...but I have seen it. It's odd.
