[quote=Anonymous]SOOO, short story long. There is a couple (but through the woman, let's call her Jane for the story)  that my girlfriend is friends with who I never thought to much of, she started dating a guy a while back who made them tolerable (for a time).

They moved in with one another, got married this summer, and are expecting their first kid. Most of the social circle is moving in that direction. My girlfriend likes to run with Jane and do Yoga. The problem is that although Jane is average in looks and personality (but good figure), PhD but talking to her is like talking to a potted plant - Jane thinks she walks on water. She married a very good looking man who is 5 or 6 years younger than her (and we all think is gay - he literally has a room of shoes, SHOES! And he is not gay?). She completely controls him and the whole group. She shuts down or shuts out those that do not sync up with her.

Over time I have watched the now husband turn as shallow as her. They focus on looks - talk about this baby only in terms of it being the "best looking baby ever" - surround themselves with horribly vapid people who constantly focus on looks. (I shit you not, but her facebook page consists of all her friends telling her constantly how beautiful she is).  For example -- Their wedding was really beautiful but Jane wore a lacey trashy type dress and looked straight out of Dynasty and yet the hanger ons told her she was beautiful. I actually asked my girlfriend if she really thought that and she said it is what Jane finds important and no one really believes what they are telling her.

I dread going out with them. I try to talk to my girlfriend about it because it is getting to the point I don't want to go out with my girlfriend when her friends (particulary Jane and her in the closet husband) are there. I have watched Jane be dumped by a few of the other friends who were the ones that I actually enjoyed being around (smart, caring, good people, that were not focused on themselves). In the beginning the husband had some really cool friends that I met briefly but they seem to have dropped the couple as well. I got the impression that they thought little of Jane and less of him for marrying her.

So, if I want to take my girlfriend to the next level... (propose/marriage) How do I get rid of the shallow, selfish, narcissitic group. I think it is a terrible influence and I hate, hate, hate hearing about them and their lives. I never had met people that could be so terribly shallow before.
