I know I'm never on anymore, but I need hugs UPDATE

UPDATE:

Well, DH's cousin called a little while ago to apologize. He said that it sounded funny in his head but not when it came out. He said he was sorry for upsetting me.

While I appreciate his apology, I sort of feel like the damage is done. The reason why his comment hurt me so much is because it is basically true. I really don't have many friends. I just have the two right now, and really just some aquaintences. Not anyone I hang out with. And I'm almost positive my two friends have their own best friends, and don't consider me their best friend. His comment just reminded me of this, even though I try not to think about it. I know in a few days I'll feel better, and I want to thank everyone that responded to my post. I knew you girls would understand.




Hi girls, I know I'm never on anymore, but I just need to vent and get some hugs. I feel so sad.

I never felt so alone as I did during my wedding planning. With forming the bridal party and inviting people to the wedding and my bridal shower, I felt completely alone. I was forced to count my girl friends, and I don't have many at all. And the ones i have I'm not even that close with. At least I felt that when the wedding was over, I would never have to deal with this again. I could focus on other things and not worry about being friendless. Apparently I was wrong.

At brunch yesterday, I told DH's cousin that we went to my MOH's birthday party the night before in the city. DH's cousin knew her, since he was in the wedding party too. He was like, 'Oh, Kimberly, she's one of your like 3 friends, right?' It just hurt me so much and its not the first time he has made fun of me for not having friends. I ran to the bathroom and cried, and it ruined the brunch for me. I figured I would never have to count my friends again. But apparently other people count them for me and throw it in my face. Now I feel alone again. I just want to forget the fact that I have no friends and I can't. Oh and now Kimberly is one of two friends I have because one of my friends is becoming worse in her anorexia and doesn't even care about herself, let alone me.

Oh no Beth, I'm so sorry you feel that way!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have many friends either, seriously I have a real hard time when it comes to making/keeping friends so I know how you feel.

Don't let this jerk make you feel bad!!!!!! What kind of a life does he have if he's counting your friends and throwing that in your face?? Just goes to show how empty and pathetic his life must be!!!!!!! What kind of a person gets off on making someone cry, seems like a real loser to me!!!!!!

Remember Beth, it's quality, not quantity!!!!!!!!

You're a wonderful person, you've got friends here, you know that!!!!!!!

It has got to be hard hearing something like that from your DH...mention to him that it truly hurt you.

BUT...please remember...it's not the quantity of friends you have, but the quality. I can seriously count on one hand my real true friends. Friends that would stand by my side through just about anything. Try and remember that and not to let it bother you.

Awww, Beth, my heart is breaking for you. Just remember that no matter what you will always have friends here on the '06 board. And the lowlife loser who made you feel bad, isn't worth your time.

I'm sure he didn't mean it to hurt you, men don't think sometimes before they say things.

Most of my good friends are OOT and FH makes comments all of the time about me not having any friends. It bothers me a lot too so I know how you feel!

OMG who says that!!!! that ws so mean...listen...the amount of friends mean nothing if they act like that. You ave your husband and your family and that is all you will ever need...friends come and go in life and thats the way it is unfortunately..Hang in there...you always have us...and besides ...do you know we live like a half hour from each other (you go to UMD right?)...we should do lunch sometimes (share wedding stories)... :)

I'm so sorry. It's terrible that he feels a person should be judged by how many friends they have. Don't let him get you down. If you have even one person in your life you consider a true friend, count yourself lucky and blessed. It's not easy to be around someone like that who seems to thrive on making other's feel small. I would wonder what HIS friends say and feel about him when they're not around him if he feels it's okay to say that to someone else.

Beth-

Try not to let that upset you. The fact that you have 2 close friends is wonderful. Like the other ladies have said, quality over quantity.

Do not sweat over this! First & foremost, it is no one's business how many friends you have! I can honestly say I can count my friends on 1 hand! I am so happy to have these special 5 people in my life! I would not trade them in!

Do not worry about anything. What matters is you are happy

Your just pick in the fruit aisle Beth...there is NOTHING wrong with that!

P.S. he's an azzhole, and if he has a REAL friend, I'd be quite surprised!

Re: I know I'm never on anymore, but I need hugs

My heart breaks for you.. seriously. What a jerk! Some people have diareah of the mouth.. and this just proves what happens when you speak without thinking. I swear.. this guy sounds like my DH's cousin. He just talks & talks and can care less whose feelings he hurts.

Beth... Who cares how many friends you have. Its the quality a friend that makes a huge difference- and thats all that matters. You can have 100's of aquantances ( I know Im spelling everything wrong here), but as for TRUE friendship, that is so hard to come by. As I got older, I learned how many 'true' friends I have.

Dont listen to that jerk. I cant stand people like that.

Re: I know I'm never on anymore, but I need hugs

Oh sweetie please try not to feel this way...you should have told your FH's cousin to go and fly and kite...it is none of his business how many friends you have...how dare he!!!!!!! And you know what - you're better off with 1 good friend (such as your DH) rather than 20 two-faced, jealous and filled w/issues biatches!
