Do you really have to ask?

You talk, you mingle, you eat.
Who goes into a party expecting to be sad and miserable?


oh... and turn the phone off.
It won't kill you to do so.

Go (Especially as you informed her that you ARE ATTENDING), and be happy for her!
My friend is engaged after having been married literally her marriage didn't even end a full year ago and she is engaged again so no I am not happy for her especially when like I said my relationship ended like 4 days before christmas. I deserve to be in a good relationship and engaged and married and pregnant right not celebrating other people and their happiness... I get to be happy when??? Obviously never.

Ok, you're too selfish to be a good friend.

They're better off without you there. Next.

I am incredibly selfish lol I admit it and I'm ok with it. At this point in my life if something is not going to put me around single, attractive men who would get married to me within a year and get me pregnant, I have no real reason to do it.

I mean she is a new friend. If this was my forever best friend then obviously I would have no choice and I would have to do it and I would do it. I would try to make the best of it and just go, my best friend would also likely have single guys there because she knows my struggle.

This girl is a friend, and she is great but she is a new friend and I already envision how this whole thing is going to go, a bunch of people in relationships talking about relationship stuff and me sitting there being a fatty eating and drinking wine and being sad (I get way more sad when I drink) and then not being able to drive home so I will have to stay over and it'll be terrible, and them being like "omg I love you" "omg I love you so much" blah blah blah because that is how they are. I mean she says that the people there aren't all in relationships but I looked at the list of invites on FB and they are pretty much all in relationships and I can't relate to them.

Don't bother with party, so she can dump you as a friend. She deserves people in her life that actually care about her, not narcisstic drama queens.

No. I am friends with her. We have classes together, she is a good friend. But I mean obviously if I want to find a husband hanging out in couples and being sad isn't going to help move that process along. I just am not sure that going to this party has any benefit for me? I mean I will likely not be meeting people that I click with, I will be sad because I am pretty much sad every single day, there won't be single guys there so no chance to potentially meet a husband. I would like to go and have fun but I know I won't. I know it is just going to go in the jar of things that upset me so why bother putting myself in that position??
