But it isn't just during their marriage. Even when they are just boyfriend-girlfriends they just seem to try and avoid contact with you. Especially the females in the relationship! Most of my female friends have never invited me to go out with them when their boyfriend was there. This really insults me. What does this mean? That I would steal him from them? Are they stupid? Do they not know me at all! Where did all our years of friendship go? Really, what a mess. Now I am only collecting wedding invitations to go and see them getting married to unknown people. I don't want to go. Before they got involved we were all on the phone arranging our nights out. Now everybody's gone. Even my own brother has a girlfriend now. I am begging him to come visit me. He said that he would come only if he could bring his girlfriend! WTF?! I want to spend time with him alone! I don't want to spend time watching them slurp each other and talking to each other while I am in the kitchen cooking for them! Talking about leading a loser's life, huh? You know what the worst part is? The worst part is that I actually catch myself feeling this evil happiness and satisfaction whenever I hear of a disfunction or the break-up of a couple that I know. I hate myself when this happens. I don't want to feel like this, really. Suddenly I find myself with a buddy again. Suddenly I get a phonecall again. We catch up on lost time...or should I say wasted time. Even though I know well that this resurrected friendship is again a temporary one, I still go with it. You know? Whatever!
