Need to Refrain from Lambasting...maybe...help?

[Lunar Snow]

OH MY GOSH! Just need to let off a little steam. I know you are all sick of hearing about G and I am sick about thinking of her (and I thought I had blocked her from my live feed on Facebook, but apparently not).

I just finished making some posts on here that made me think of jealousy and trust issues in my current relationship and made me feel proud that I am healing and we are healing. Then, I switch my window over to Facebook to log out and get ready, and glanced at the feed to see if I had missed out wishing anyone happy birthday, etc. At the top of the feed, G is celebrating her 3 month anniversary with her "long-distance" (but not really, in my opinion) boyfriend. You see, my guy and I just celebrated ours yesterday, though ours extends over two days. We couldn't agree on a date exactly, so we made a really cute combo name with the date and did end up posting somewhat secret messages in our statuses on Facebook and Skype about it yesterday, using the combo name and tagging each other (normally, we don't do that, but it was kind of fun for 6 months). Well, G also made a combo name to post in her status to her "long-distance" boyfriend today.

Can I smack her with a fish? (Actually, since the ocean's supply of fishes is depleted and farmed fish are bad news bears, how about a sponge soaked in rancid farmed fish juices?). I know you might say that it is just coincidence...but it seems that there are a lot of "just coincidences" with her all the time and this one is far too coincidental for its own good. I feel like she constantly wants to one-up me and our relationship all the time!!! GAHHH, what is her problem?!

On the bright side, while she's comparing relationships with yours, shes at least not trying to break yours up Glass half full!

They say imitation's the best form of flattery, but I think whoever thought that up needs a kick in the nads. It's annoying. That whole thing rings of jealousy, which leads to her copying you two with something that was personal and had meaning to just you two. But, in the end that's a good thing. She recognizes your happiness and wants to nab some for herself with the guy she's got a leash around at the moment.

I guess it's because I tend to be the kind of person that doesn't care enough, but I do have a couple of questions. One, how is her relationship not long distance? Two, how could she possibly be one-upping you with her anniversary on a similar date to yours? I could sorta on some level get it if you two had a lot of the same friends, but from what I remember you two only seem to have your boyfriend in common.

Hey. Fair questions and I hope they were just out of curiosity or misunderstanding (I wanted some support about this, but I am okay with satisfying curiosity and clarifying). 1) Because she was aware of LDRs for awhile and never termed hers to be an LDR (or was ever very supportive of relationships of that nature, particularly ours) until the four of us were together in-person and she harped on about how hers must, too, be an LDR (but started as a CD) and how much more difficult hers must be than ours. They live two hours apart right now, I believe, and (even if that is a distance...to me, is a small commute in this grand province--but you are right that it could still seem far) they see each other sometimes multiple times a week (which is as much as or more than many CD couples see each other).
2) No, no. It wasn't about the date at all, really (though it comes into play through coincidence). Obviously, many people could have their anniversary on the same day (if that was what I would be taking issue with, it would be a bit like a little kid being upset that someone has the same name as them). It was that she had taken something special and fairly unique that my boyfriend and I had said to each other, virtually appropriated it for herself and displayed it with slight changes for her and her boyfriend the day after.

Zephii, paulawriteslove, and Karringtyn--Yes, I like that, too. Definitely prevented me from lashing out, even if I was grumpy about it still.

LadyMarchHare--Yes, nads...they shall get a kicking! Uhhh...well, anyway. Sometimes it is flattering or can be acknowledged as a good learning situation, but I have had other situations where imitation has just gone too far and it can be very frustrating/ annoying. Yes, it is true--I think it is actually a bit of progress for her to be dating someone for so long so I hope that she is treating him well (seemed like a nice dude and put up with quite a bit from her, which shows extreme patience) and that her appropriated expressions of happiness keep them both smiling...and her away from messing with my relationship.
