It s*cks infinitely when your best friend gets a new girlfriend/boyfriend and only you can see how crappy they actually are – and you can’t say anything to them because, obviously, they are head over heels in love with them! They are always polite to you, sweet to her, but you can’t help but feel a deep rooted dislike towards this guy. Here’s a bunch of things you will only understand if you hate your friend’s significant other:

1. You dread the moment when they’ll ask you what you think about their SO

You don’t want to lie, but don’t want to be honest either…

2. You want to be honest but at the same time you don’t want to hurt her

Sigh, talk about being between a rock and a hard place!

3. You sneakily try to break them up

Even though you know this isn’t what a good friend would do. Ugh!

4. You try to avoid meeting her when her partner is around

You make up all kinds of excuses to avoid doing so, in fact! And you’re running out of them!

5. You don’t want her to know you hate her boyfriend but at the same time you really, really want her to know, too

You just feel guilty keeping it inside you.

6. You have mastered fake smiles and politeness

For the times you really can’t avoid meeting the guy.

7. And God forbid that your friend leaves you alone with him

It is all kinds of awkward. Can he tell that I hate him?

8. All your friends think you hate him just because she spends more time with him than you

No, but thanks, your opinion was really needed!

9. You ask her how things are in the hope that something is wrong

Yes, you hate yourself for it too.

10. You do a little dance inside whenever they have a fight

 

And she comes to you. And you bitch about him together. Yay, bonding!

11. But when things are fine between them, she forgets you

And you hate that.

12. And then she finds out how you feel and defends him

And you feel so hurt! Uh, how dare you choose him over me?!

13. Then you start thinking how your best friend who is SO awesome could like someone so ill-suited for her!

It’s terrible, especially when you know she can do so much better!

14. But in the end, you know he makes her happy

Which is what really matters. And that maybe he isn’t bad for her at all.
