Get it off your chest!

I hate my best friend/roommate's new boyfriend!! He's old and creepy and all his friends are married!!

haha.. yeah it is so strange when friend's go out with much older people... I don't know almost anyone who is married yet.. though that might be strange as I am 24.. I have one friend who is married and the rest, well it doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon lol.. even people I know who have been together for a few years don't seem to be planning on getting married at any point in the near future...

maybe you should tell her that you think he is a creep haha...

It's not even about him being older (he's 27, she's 19). I don't care about an age difference, if maturity seems to be fairly well matched. It's just that he's immature! If he were of appropriate maturity and she was very mature for her age, then that's one thing. But he is at her maturity level, and I have a problem with a 27 year old who wants to come to university parties and hang out with her other 19 year old friends. And his friends being married is also not a problem, if the first time we met them hadn't been in a bar with his married friend hitting on me! CREEEEEEP. Do you know what I mean though? Or am I being completely ridiculous?

Yeah, that age difference isn't so bad, and neither is the fact all his friends are married, I just have a bias there seeing as I am 24 and almost noone I know is married ...

but I agree with what you are saying, it is kind of strange when a 27 yr old wants to come party with 19 yr olds at university parties, although I remember from University there were always a few people in there mid to late 20s who would show up to party with us 18 and 19 year olds.. I guess they just haven't really grown past the first year university phase... oh well... and married guys going to the bar to try to pick up is really creepy and sad and lame.. So, no I don't think you are being ridiculous at all.. him and his friend(s) sound like very mature people lol

Haha.. I agree.. I saw people putting up christmas lights and decorations on Nov 1.. it seems some people think that the day after halloween is the start of Christmas season.. I personally think these people are crazy... But here in Canada it might be a little different as our thanksgiving is in October... so it's all smooth sailing up to christmas... no more holidays to interrupt...

Well, they were selling Christmas merchandise a few weeks before Halloween. I am not thrilled about that either, but I will accept that before getting all decked out with wreaths and trees and lights and snowflakes!! I do admit to liking the fact that they put the Christmas candy out early, though. It is so fresh then. Other than that, I disapprove of this nonsense!

Yeah, it's just awkward because it's not like we really have anything to talk to them about. Basically, it comes down to the fact that there is simply something about this particular guy that I don't trust. And that matters more to me than any other factor. But what can I say if she's happy?

This early Christmas stuff is nonsense. We always wait until December 1st at the earliest to decorate for Christmas because my brother whose birthday is November 29th always felt like his birthday was overshadowed by Christmas which wasn't for another month. We've always just stuck with it.

Same here. Nothing woule be done until after Thanksgiving here. So December 1st was the average time in the house. I even saw a house decorated already! Of course, that may still be out from last year and the people were too lazy to put it away!

hahah.. okay, I have to admit this now, I had christmas lights up on my condo balcony all the way to August from last Christmas, I just never thought about taking them down, well I did but I would always tell myself I was going to do it, and then I would forget as I would keep putting it off to do something else.. and then I went away for a while there and left them up still ... I think a few times when I drank too much I even turned them on when I would get home... which must have been strange for the neighbours lol.. But I took them down when I came back and decided to sell my place.. I just figured the christmas lights in september wouldn't relly add value to my place haha..

yeah, hard to rain on a friend's parade lol.. especially if she is happy and enjoying it.. I guess you make the best of it.. and tell his married friends not to be creeps hahaa

OK. Well, I'll excuse your not taking them down. But ONLY you!! Just because you went away for awhile! Nobody else!! Especially not when they leave the wreaths on the doors and light-up deer on the lawns. THAT is inexcusable!!

Must be a Canadian thing...I had neighbours who left their Christmas light sup all year round AND turned them on every night. I kid you not

Well thank you! haha...

No wreaths on my door, and no christmas tree was left up or anything, and no light up santa or dear on my lawn lol.. that would be terrible.. I can't even stand the light up deer on the lawn during christmas.. they just look so hokie to me.. lol.. oh well.. I suppose they aren't that bad... I just don't like them..

yeah, us canadians are pretty strange.. maybe it is our proximity to the north pole lol.. year round christmas kind of thing...

but that is just so ridiculous to turn the lights on every night, I could see leaving them up if they are a massive pain to put up, but to turn on every night.. besides being annoying to everyone around, what waste of power haha..

Yeah, I thought the same thing. You can't even chalk that up to laziness. Eventually all the bulbs started burning out...a few more every night. It took awhile, but once it was over, it was Christmas time again.
