I am so over my boyfriend's stupid girl friends from work. Most of them are about our age (late 20s or so) and most are married or have boyfriends, but they treat my boyfriend like their little personal flirt puppy dog. It is so annoying. My boyfriend is really nice, and friendly, and the kind of guy that girls love to talk to and be friends with, which I appreciate about him and I know that some of this comes with the territory. But PLEASE. Enough is enough. Last night, I called him at a work function thing and some b**** (I'm sorry, I just feel she was really inappropriate) grabs the phone and starts telling me about how great my boyfriend thinks I am and how beautiful and smart and creative he says I am and how much he loves me and "I hope you know that - he loves you SOOOOO much" blah blah. And I'm just like "Okay, can I talk to my BOYFRIEND now??!!" I personally feel like butting into other people's relationships (especially when you are drunk and obnoxious) is rude and bordering on condescending, even if you are saying nice things. And part of me is a little suspicious, but I know that's not fair, and I trust my boyfriend. But honestly. Grrr.


Anyway. Am I overreacting?

totally not overreacting. I would be pissed too. Who is she that you need her approval to know that your b-friend loves you? Whatever. Stupid drunk girl. ;)

Oh that would annoy the crap out of me too.  Sounds like maybe they think they are trying to be friendly with you (do you know them, or have you been out with them before?) but thats just uncalled for.  Who does that??  I would be put off.  What did he say about the situation?

I don't know - what a tricky situation! I'm trying to imagine myself in that situation and I'm pretty sure I'd be pissed, too. I'm with Jess. What did your boyfriend say? Can you go with him to work functions? Whatever you do, don't be bitchy to the girls he works with - if they sense weakness, they'll pounce. The best way to fight them is with kindness.

The more I think about it the more I think I'd be soooo pissed off, too! Tricky, tricky. Let us know how it goes.

I don't think you are overreacting at all. I went through a similar situation when my boyfriend was at school. He would become friends w/ these girls and then I would have to hear about how great my boyfreind was from them. I am generally a pretty laid back person and my boyfriend gets to do what he wants when he wants, but this would just drive me insane. Yeah, I know he is great that is why I am dating him.

You are not overreacting at all.

Thanks, girls! Yeah, I talked to my boyfriend about it and he understands. I think when he really got it was when I reminded him of another time that this had happened and it was a girl that he had gone out with once and then never asked out again, and she was like "Oh, he is the greatest guy, blah blah" - totally fake to me. One time when he and I were having some problems she totally hit on him! (This is a different girl - no one he works with). So after I reminded him of that, and how I just don't like fake nice people, I think he really understood. He insists that she is not over the top flirting with him, and that he isn't encouraging anything with her, so I'm sure it's all fine. She is just annoying.


Blubirde, I totally agree about the being nice to the work girls. They are this huge posse that I just have to smile and nod to. Some of them are really nice, some not so much. And I do usually go with him to work functions, so hopefully nothing like this will EVER happen again.


Stupid girl.
