Re: A girl I know dragged her bf out to look at rings bc of
Hi Lover,
Just wanted to say that I can understand your feelings but I think it is best if you step away from the situation and truly revaluate your thoughts and feelings on it. It really is not worth your time to be so bothered by something like this and I think when things settle a bit, you'll start to feel better. Maybe taking a little bit of a break from the blogging (which is where the initial problem came from) could be a good idea? Think about it this way: will this REALLY matter to you a month from now? two months, three? Probably not.

Hi,
I love this thread.` I have a young niece , like you, who has a blog. Ladies when you have a blog, you take it seriously and frankly, it may give you(and these young women) a sense of importance.(I don't mean self importance) LL tries to give out information, shares and gets respect from this. All well and Good. LL is young and hopefully we can tell her some things as well that she can take with her from here. I think she said she is much less upset than she was.
Loverlover the first thing I want to tell you is that people use the term "Jealousy" in a lighter way then you have interpreted. I have used it many times in my life and what I'm usually saying I really like what you have gotten. It does not even mean that if I had the opportunity that I would get the same thing. It holds true for non material things as well. As someone said, you're overthinking. Its just an expression.
Don't close down your blog, I like this idea of having to deal with our small disruptions in our psyche in real time. I am confident you can even continue your relationship with this gal. No reason to go off the deep end. You will be proud of yourself when you know you have handled it well, and you will.
I know you didn't mean the comment of" now you don't want to get engaged". See, we all say things we mean more lightly than others might interpret.
I am glad you have a blog. Please continue it and enjoy it. Rise above some things and others handle with words that are thought out. I wish you and the boyfriend good luck. Have a great wedding.
Thanks,
Annette

Hee hee this thread is really funny all around. This is what I love about the internet -- insight into people's thoughts that I would never get to see in real life. No one I know, even my students, would share these types of thoughts and feelings with me in real life, yet here the OP is sharing them and making me realize, yet again, how generally silly and shallow we humans be. We are all silly and shallow at times. I know I am. But I think growing up means catching yourself when you are indeed being silly and shallow, and trying to stop the silliness and shallowness as soon as you can. And especially before you ruminate on something for days, and really really before you think about alterning your life in response to said silliness and shallowness. Loverlover, read over your posts here and I suspect your blog too and think long and hard about whether this is *really* an issue worth spending more than about 5 seconds of your life thinking about. Nay, 2 seconds
And I smell a troll
