There’s Someone for Everyone

I have a friend. Well, she’s a friend who I used to be close with, then we went to different seminaries, and she started hanging out with her Brooklyn friends again and we kinda just drifted apart. Anyway, she lives down the block from me, so we have a weird pseudo-friendly relationship. Describing this could take days, so I’ll just move onto my point.

Anyway, she got engaged a few weeks before my wedding. She was – is – one of those girls who wanted to get married since she was like, two years old, and has been dating since the day she got home from seminary. She was always into this guy or that guy, obsessing about every new date endlessly until the next guy came along. It was incredibly annoying. She’s always been attracted to guys that I can’t stand – hockers, smartasses, guys who think they’re God’s gift to the world. She even told me why – “‘Cause if I marry a guy like that, whose sooooo cool, it means he chose me! I’m special!” Ugh. Give me a break. Guys like that aren’t ever worth your time.

So she got engaged. And her husband Is. A. Total. Jackass. I’m not kidding. Everyone who meets him – everyone whose normal, that is – agrees with me. When I first met him, I wanted to slap him he was such a jerk. He kept saying how hot my friend was, in front of her face, and made hand motions in front of his chest – I think unconsciously, though – to show how, er, well endowed she was. And at their vort he was hockin’ it up, and every time a friend of his came over to wish him mazal tov he was like, “Isn’t my kallah the hottest thing?”

It literally made me ill. I can’t understand how anyone could like those kind of guys. I guess there’s someone for everyone, but OMG. It’s nauseating. And when I think about it, I get so angry. I don’t know why. I have a wonderful husband who is everything I ever wanted. Sorry to sound so newly-weddy. So why do I get angry?

Is it because guys like that can still get sweet girls who, if they were with a better guy, would act sweeter instead of more obnoxious, superfical, and Brookly-ny? Is it because I think that he won’t love her the way he should? Is it because I wish that guys like that would never get the girl, so they can learn their lessons? Arrg. It just makes me so angry. I don’t really know why. But it does. Errr.

I hope she never wants to double-date.
