Ah, there's that logic and reason women are known for... Oh wait.
Like I said before, you clearly have a lack of experience with relationships and human nature in this dynamic. Please spare me any more of your ignorant posts on the subject.
Funny that my lack of experience (excuse me have we met?) represents the majority of opinions posting in this thread. Say, when was the last time you listened to a woman tell you what it's like to be a man and men's friendships? (Rhetorical question, as I know you have no women friends.) But please Dr. Phil...keep talking...you are proving my point for me.
If there was ever any doubt that Kaphawoman was on the right side in this tiff you two are having, your post above cleared that up. Putting a big grinning face next to a trite sexist comment doesn't make it funny. Or true. Not to mention, countering someone's beliefs with the rejoinder that she just doesn't have enough "experience" to understand your side (when you know so little about her) is a shining example of a strawman.
Thank you. This poster based his stereotypical opinion on two things: the gender of OP's friends and the fact that she's getting married before them. He took nothing she wrote into consideration. Not the several years of backstory between the OP and her fiance or the things she may have told her friends about the relationship. Talk about lack of logic! Funny that he thinks I need to be married to have an opinion on this but he can have his opinion on how women think while he is not one. I feel sorry for whatever mail order bride he had to import.
Personally, I think 3.5 years is long enough as an experience, to know if you want to be with someone, the ups and downs of things. In fact, I once heard that many couples get engaged immediately after the largest fight in their relationship, for whatever that's worth.
Back in the day almost all of my co-workers warned a co-worker against marrying "fast Eddy". In Calgary a few years ago I met them through a cousin, celebrating their 30th. wedding anniversary. Just because a bunch of people have an opinion doesn't mean they're right and you're wrong. They're not the one sleeping with the guy, eh?
I tend to agree with the people who think you may not be seeing things clearly.
It's one thing if one person seems bitter about you getting engaged... but if most of your friends feel that way, there is probably something that you are too blind to see. I would have very candid discussions with each of them and keep an open mind. Choosing who to to marry is arguably the biggest decision you will ever make.

A couple things... One, you don't represent the majority of opinions in this thread. Two, you don't even represent women as a whole. Three, you're not engaged and not married, so you've never dealt with the OP's situation, EVER. (Based on your ignorance displayed thus far, it'll probably stay that way.)
Please let me know when you actually have a point in this conversation, because so far, you're only showing that you know very little about relationships between men AND women.

Yes, funny how I've been engaged and now married and have many other couple friends who have been engaged and married to enable me to have an opinion about someone becoming engaged. Yet you think I need to be a woman to have an opinion on why a woman might feel a certain way about a friend getting engaged.
The hypocrisy is strong in this one.
Insults from bitter people such as yourself are simply a reflection of your lack of character. Get used to being alone, I don't see that changing for you.
Who cares what they think, the sad reality of life is most friends will fade away with time. Enjoy the relationships while they last and keep moving forward.
They just did you a favor: Now you don't have to deal with having them in your wedding party.
