Bitter Bessie, Party of One

It's very possible that I am just a jealous, bitter single girl, but here is the thing:

I cannot stand it when girls post sappy quotes, dedications, or missives to their boyfriends, fiances, husbands, whatever. I get it. TRUST ME. I get it.

I saw your ring on facebook and that 58 people "liked" it (including me-it's gorgeous and you are my friend). I read all about how you think that wedding planning is a huge horrible task and how lucky you are to have a loving, understanding, sexy incredible man who is giving you a back massage to help you de-stress. Congratulations on reaching your 4 month dating anniversary. You and your husband are adorable when you post the pictures of the flowers he sent, or the dinner you cooked together and ate by candlelight. Actually, I do want to see your wedding pictures. Not your engagement pictures though. I'm pretty sure I understand that you are in love. You are engaged, after all.

I love that you are happy. You are my friend, you are my sister, you are someone I respect, you may even be someone that I barely consider more than an acquaintance (this is facebook, after all). But others can contain themselves (no, actually. I know these people. I am also friends with them on there) so maybe you can too? You change your profile picture to a new one of your engagement photos every week. I'm not invited to your wedding (oh, not to mention another reason you bother me with your never-ending posts as well as a link to your wedding page) and thats fine. I understand guest lists and wedding costs and we weren't like, besties at school or anything. I will tell you how beautiful you looked after the fact (and I will sincerely mean it) and probably be jealous of those did get to go, but for the love of the sanity of your single, bitter, uninvited friends, can you maybe just limit yourself?

Twitter is a completely different venue. I mean, for heavens sake, I post about the most inane things, please feel free to tweet thought after thought about colors and the cute thing your boyfriend did and the countdown to your wedding and every other thing your heart desires. I'll probably totally support it and respond to it and ooh and aah over everything there. Even Pintrest is great. The fact that I'm not on there is irrelevant. ha.

I don't begrudge you your love. I can handle if you want to post about it. But every day? The only thing you post about? Wowwy. Bitter Bessie, Jealous Jennifer, Debbie Downer, whatever you want to call me. But I will put you in the acquaintance category on the new facebook and never look back.
