There are several important life lessons to keep in mind: always tip your servers well, look both ways before crossing the street, and remember that not everyone is going to love your significant other. The lattermost rule is easy to forget but crucial to remember.
This Redditor learned this universal truth the hard way. Her thread on Reddit's r/datingoverthirty subreddit depicts how she began dating a great guy who is considerably different from her toxic ex-boyfriend. Her ex was attractive and successful, but turned out to be "controlling and cocky." Somehow, the Redditor's friends Alyssa and Kelly seem to prefer the a$$hole to the new guy, perhaps because the new guy works as an electrician. As they all have more encounters together, the Redditor's boyfriend is starting to notice that her friends are not his biggest fan.
As the comments on Reddit will indicate, it's quite clear that if there's anyone the Redditor needs to break up with, it's Alyssa and Kelly. They sound like the most toxic friends since those featured on Lena Dunham's Girls.
If your own so-called friends don't like to see you happy, then it's time to cut them off just like it's time to end your 7-day free trial to Sling TV (which you only got because you don't have cable, but I digress…) Provided that no one is getting hurt, it's important to be confident and happy in your own relationship regardless of what shallow snobs like Alyssa and Kelly think.
We've seen other instances of friends behaving badly. This bride kicked her oldest friend out of her wedding party because her friend didn't enjoy partying the way she did. Yikes!
