Do Couples Annoy You?
I don't know about any of you, but this annoys me. I'm single. I have been for a while. Never had a real relationship with anyone before. But lately my sister has been bitching and moaning about how she misses her SO and how he won't call her when she wants, blah blah blah. They've been together for about 4 years now, it's on the serious side.
Whenever my sister talks about her SO and how he annoys her or she misses him or whatever the case may be, I just think to myself, "Well at least you HAVE someone to miss or be annoyed at."
I think a lot of single people would agree with me here. When they hear their siblings or friends who are in relationships say this, it's like, I really don't wanna hear it. I mean I try to be sensitive but it gets to a point where I'm just like, whatever.
Anyone else feel this way?

- About Me: I love that feeling. You know, the one you get when you take a deep breath and suddenly everything feels like it's going to be okay. When you're hopeless as can be, and life is going nowhere, there's those moments we have every now and then where we just stop, and we get this feeling that can't be described, but you just...you just feel like everything really is going to be okay. Like the world stopped spinning for a second, and everything was clear. I need more of those moments.

yikes. someone seems bitter.
go and find your SO. he's somewhere out there.
Not really. Not in this sense, at least.
The couples that annoy me are the obnoxiously obnoxious ones, but I just don't like obnoxiously obnoxious people.
yes yes yes. but for a totally different reason. i just get annoyed at pda. even hand-holding makes me want to puke. i have a tendency to associate people in relationships with weakness--mostly because almost everyone i know who's in a relationship is completely incapable of being independent. (case in point, your sister.)
on the other hand, as @MissPixieGlitter@xanga wisely pointed out, you just seem bitter--probably because you're not getting any. my opinion is if you can't be happy while single, you can't be happy in a relationship.
Um, no. Not really.
I just get annoyed at all the couples who feel this intense need to let the whole world know they are a couple, whether it's by excessive amounts of PDA or constant status updates on facebook like "Jane is SO IN LOVE WITH HER POOKIE BEAR OMGGGG XOXOXOXO!!!!!!!!!" I've known some girls who do that like, 10 times a day. You're in love, you're happy. That's great. But we get it already.
Absolutely agree! and they can be so irritating at times!
maybe you should just listen and forget about it, haha.
@sarahzthoughts@xanga - That I agree with so much! It's annoying as hell! Other than that, couples dont bother me. I mean you can be affectionate (even on facebook) but overdoing it doesnt mean someone is bitter, it's just annoying to hear the same thing repeatedly.
Not in the way you do, because it seems you are just jealous of couples in general and that is an issue you need to deal with because if you let all your "anger and annoyances" at couples get to you like that you will have a hard time being a happy person in life in general, and NOBODY wants to be around or with a negative person.
I do however understand the little stupid bitching that couples do, but with most of my friends we are mostly just a "sounding board" for the bitching and moaning. My sister has said really insensitive things about missing her boyfriend and wanting to be with him to someone who had just lost their husband, yeah to a brand new widow she said this.
and exactly because of this, i'm afraid to talk about my bb in front of others :(
It only annoys me when the couple invites some friends over to hang out at their place.. but then ignore everyone they've invited. I know a couple who does this all the time. It's so rude x.x
Hanging out with couples can be awkward at times I'd feel like I'm the fifth wheel.
i try not to be annoyed by tuning them out......
Um... no? After the honeymoon phase, a lot of couples stop with all the mushy mushy in front of people (well that's what's supposed to happen...). Once you get into a relationship it's easy to see how to get caught up in it, but you have to acknowledge your friends, too.
I think rather than looking at what she has and you haven't, you should see the things you have and she hasn't! Like how you don't have to fuss about another person, your freedom, the single-ness of it all!
Couples dont annoy me much, unless OD on PDA, but it can be awkward sometimes like if we're in a group and they seem to be in a world of their own.
@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - Not only that, but it's like salt in the wound for everyone else who is single/going through a difficult breakup.
Another couples-peeve I forgot to mention...when they act all devastated if they have to go a week or so without seeing them, or when they freak out if they move across town. I can understand why that's stressful and difficult, but I dated a guy who went to school in Alaska. I'm from Ohio. He would be gone for 8 months at a time and it was a pain to figure out a time that we could talk, since he was 4 hours behind me. After going through that...I just can't help but have little patience for people who consider "long distance" less than a few hours away. And by "few" I mean somewhere around 2 or 3, tops.
Oh and one last thing...people, please stop assuming that this girl is bitter. Bitterness is wishing that all the happy couples in the world will break up so everyone will be just as miserable as you are. It's completely understandable why she wouldn't want to hear about other people's romance, the same way a person who is on a diet doesn't want to listen to Paula Deen describe a recipe for chocolate cake.
TO A CERTAINT EXTENT IT CAN GET OBNOXIOUS AND ANNOYING...
I'VE BEEN SINGLE FOR FOUR YEARS... AT THIS POINT I REALLY DON'T CARE... JUST DON'T BITCH AT ME ABOUT IT 'CUZ ALL I'MA DO IS BITCH BACK SO DON'T GET MAD WHEN I DO...
When I was single I totally felt the same way. It seemed like whenever I walked down the street I would run into couples and they would be holding handles and cuddling and all that. And omg...it made me feel so alone. Or if I was at a dance or something with no date, it was disturbing. I would see other couples on the floor dancing together and there I was on the side with the rest of my single friends. What a loser!
They only annoy me when I'm single... which I am right now. When I'm dating, I am in my own little world with my SO, so I don't notice other couples (:
no, my cousins would always go to me whenever they were having boy problems and i would always be there for them and i don't think its annoying. Boys really do screw a girl up
Hahaha, I hear ya! I'm married and I'm like "shut UP!"
talking a bit about it can be okay.
but if it is like the main topic of every conversation then yes, it does make me want to go postal
hahahah i do get pissy sometimes but i think i am just jealous though
Look, people go through things, and people tend to talk about them to get things off their chest.
It's the equivalent of someone having a bad day at work, and having them go over to your house and complain about their bad day.
I understand you getting annoyed at them, but they have the right to complain about things. Sometimes people get obnoxious and annoying, and I understand. If that happens, just be upfront and tell them that you would rather not talk about that subject, and if he/she needs to rant, he/she is better off ranting at someone else.
