My good friend is really cool. He’s basically a super nerd scientist guy. Despite having a ton of knowledge, he’s humble af, I’ve known him for years before I knew how high his educational qualifications go.
My friend just married someone with a nice job and a bougie family. I’m happy for my friend, I couldn’t give a fuck if all her convos revolve around past holidays, resorts, and pricey drinks. My friend is happy and and he feels secure with this woman, and I’m glad that things are going well for him.
My friend and his wife keep trying to organise double dates. I guess it feels natural, to bring us into the wider family. But what happens is that the men and women separate and have their own conversations. My gf finds this woman boring af, bragging about all the countries she’s traveled and nice places she’s been isn’t really interesting. I wonder if posh people are so used to talking to service workers and underlings who are required by their job to please them, that they have no idea how fucking boring they are.
Maybe your girlfriend would appreciate it, if you didn’t just let this separation along traditional gender lines happen as if it was an unstoppable force of nature. Keep it balanced or just keep the boring friend talking to yourself the whole evening. Should be easy, since you said it dosn’t bother you. Then your gf can have intellectually stimulating conversations with your mutual interesting friend while you do that.
@bubbalu@hexbear.net, I’m too lazy to type this twice. My partner just asks not to meet these people and I respect her wishes. That just seems the easiest thing to do.
