in October 2012 Weddings
Any one else have single friends that are having a hard time with you getting married? A lot of FI and my friends have gotten married in the past few years and one of my friends is having a hard time being one of the only single people she knows. Any advice that might help? I've tried to avoid wedding talk around her as not to sound like I'm rubbing it in that I'm getting married. I'm just not sure what to do or say.

    Get over it.... JUUUUSSTTTT KKIIIDDDDIINNGGG!! Well, I guess I would totally avoid the wedding talk around her but also let her know that everything happens all in time. She might not be getting married now but sooner or later you all will be celebrating her wedding.

    I would just avoid asking her if there's "anyone special" unless she brings it up. I know when I was single I hated when my married/engaged friends would ask if I was dating anyone.

    One of my bridesmaids just broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years.  It actually happened the week before my bachelorette party.  We all thought they were on the road to getting married, I actually thought they would have been engaged before FI and I were.  So right now I feel very guilty everytime I need to ask her a wedding question (which is rare).  I know it is killing her a little bit, because she so badly wants to be getting married and starting a family.  My shower is this weekend and I know that is going to be tough on her too.   My FI friends are slowly but surely getting married or engaged.   All my friends are still single, only 1 is in a serious long term relationship.

    We have one friend of FI's who was a groomsman, along with FI, a few weeks ago and he was a real nightmare, and we think part of it is that he's having a hard time with dealing with the fact that all his friends are growing up and settling down and getting married when he's still the swingin' bachelor. It can be tough. I feel like with girls it's easier to spot and work around their sensitivities, but guys are stupid and harder to deal with, ha ha. ;)

    I have one single friend who has always had a problem with being the single one, so our friendship has been tough in the 5 years that FI have been together.  I try not to talk about the wedding at all with her...  And I don't really intend to ask a name for her guest because I don't want to make her feel awkward for not dating someone in particular.

    Glad I'm not the only one! It makes it harder because she is a BM. I was hoping since the MOH and another BM are single that it would help her not feel so disappointed about being single, but so far that hasn't really mattered.
