Do you ever find yourself having a "smug married" moment?

People who post pictures of their dog are pretty pathetic. Ranks right up there with people who post pictures of their meals. People, no one but you cares about this shit. Your dog and your brunch don't have a loving grandmother or cousins who want to keep up with them (why photos of kids aren't pathetic, even though most fb friends probably don't care about those, either).

I have a married but childless friend who's in her 40s and posts so many photos of her dog, it's clear it's some weird need to be loved publicly or something. And then she loves to post about how her dog is just like a baby. LOL sure thing crazy insecure lady!

Trust me, no one gives a shit about pics of your kid.

Yes, my mom does, actually. She does not, however, want to see a pic of my dog. Game, set, match.

When I first met my husband and she realized how serious we were getting she met someone and got married very quickly in the Caribbean. He was kind of creepy but I never said anything; 22 months later she was divorced.

I got married about 3 years after she divorced and had a great weeding. She was a bridesmaid and was very engaged. She was dating her second husband when I got married and they married 3 years after I got married. I was not invited to be in her wedding but I attended and was very excited for her. Her wedding was almost an exact replica of mine and she tried to outdo me than also.

Fast forward 10 years and she's separating. This DH isn't a creep he's just someone who wasn't right for her.

I don't feel the "smug married" thing but I do feel something. I'm not jumping for joy that she is divorcing DH #2 but maybe I feel a little [insert word] because everything was always such a competition on her part. She's a great friend and I love her dearly but I've always been bothered by the underlying "outdoing" stuff.

Completely off topic, but I have a friend like that. We've been friends since college, and she has really been there for me over the years, but I could always feel her jealousy and insecurity toward me, and like she secretly relished any misfortune of mine. She is still single and childless, and while I of course want to see her happy, I feel "smug" in that I know exactly why she hasn't found it.

I'm the PP with the competitive friend. Glad to know someone gets it.

A PP asked if I really thought she got married the first time just because I was getting married. The answer is no. I said that when she noticed that I was getting serious with my now-DH she very quickly got married; almost as if she had to be married before me.

Another poster called me creepy. Really?? Because I have a friend who has tried to compete with me on every level and I find that annoying?? *shrugs* OK!

I feel bad for your dog. And you, too. You are so convinced you have it all figured out. Someday you are going to find out that life doesn't work the way you think it does.

Another hallmark of still single at 40ish people is exercising a lot. I enjoy my exercise routine and do it for health reasons but when I hear about people investing hours and hours in training for events I tend to think "too bad they don't have kids/family." Like pets, it's another way to give meaning/purpose to life. Not saying there's anything wrong with that--I'd devote more time to the gym w/o my family but at the same time I think it's wasted time because beyond a certain point it's not about health and there's no return other than mental benefits/bragging rights.

Many of us live far away from our moms, dads, bros, sisters, and our family and closest friends want to see the babies. Who can say this about pet pictures? Totally off topic I know, but I don't care about the smug thing. I do, however, loathe pet pictures.

We don't care about the point of kid pictures. Use your filters so gramps and grandma can see your kids without clogging up everyone else's fb. It's spam to everyone but you and your family members.

Um, OK, cat lady. Which of your 37 pets did I offend?

I spent time this weekend with an old friend whom I should have married (too shallow) and his wife and child. Im almost 50 and never married and it made me really remorseful and envious and depressed. Feel better, OP?

I am married and have a kid. I love pictures of people's dogs. And food.

I am a single mom with one kid. I am not envious of your blowhardy, pontificating husband. I am also not jealous of the fact that you are taking most of the career hits that come with parenting, doing all of the pediatrician's appointments, buying all of the clothes, and doing all of the research on schools, while also arranging visits to his family members and picking up his dry cleaning. I do wonder at your sense of superiority, since many of you are not capable of supporting your kids, so that the difference between you and a welfare mother is the fact that you married well.

Your post is so transparent. You DO care, and you're bitter as all get-out.
