I need to vent. So, yesterday, I had like the worst third-wheel experience ever. So my friend got herself a boyfriend pretty recently. Which is nice, I’m very happy for her. But they are both still in that stupid “lovey-dovey” phase, and oh my God is it annoying.
My friend invited me over to her house to hang out with her and watch a movie. Unfortunately, when I got there, her ****ing boyfriend was there. And I was strangling my friend's throat in my mind, because she didn't ****ing tell me beforehand. I tried to play it off, thinking to myself it wouldn't be so bad. But ooh, boy was I wrong. Unfortunately for me, my worst fears were confirmed. I was just sitting there awkwardly, trying to watch the movie and hating my life in the process, while they were too busy on her bed eating each other’s faces off. I wanted to tear all my hair out, and strangle them with it. It was so unbelievably uncomfortable just having to sit there. Pretty soon, I just couldn't take it anymore, and I walked out. I stormed home pissed off and very irritated; I’m pretty sure steam was coming out of my ****ing ears. When I bring someone else along with my girlfriend, I make sure not to make them feel like a third-wheel, because I know how ****ing uncomfortable being in that position is. Plus, I don’t really like doing that stuff in front of other people. She later apologized to me over text, and I reluctantly accepted it after giving her a piece of my mind. But I’m still pretty irritated at her. I get it; you wanna make out with your boyfriend. That’s great. But don’t ****ing involve me. And don’t ****ing invite me over if all you’re gonna do is neglect my presence.
Argh. Now that I got that all off my chest, what are some of you guys’ worst third-wheel experiences?
If you react that strongly, it's a sign that you don't like having men around in general. Presuming that you're lesbian, did you consider that your friend was giving you a hint to join in the fun? Rather than freak out, you could have just said, It looks like you're doing this in front of me because you want me to join in, however, I'm not interested.
