[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who has always tried to one up me on EVERYTHING.  I'm married with two kids and I've been with the same man for almost 20 years; married for half that.  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.[/quote]

Do you honestly believe that she got married the first time just b/c you were getting married?  I can understand thinking that someone copied your wedding in a competitive type way, but that they married just because you did.... well, that's different.[/quote]

NP here.  And newsflash:  every wedding is an exact replica of the last.[/quote]
