What was the reason for you hating your friends new gf/wife?

r/

Have you ever had one of your friends have a divorce/ breakup, and find a replacement, only to hate the replacement. Aka your friends new partner. Like you’d rather your friend be with their ex. How come?

    2 things can be true:

    1. The New Partner sucks
    2. Going back to the old partner would suck

    This has been the only experience for my friends. I may not like the new partner (which is rare) but I also don’t think I’ve ever wanted them to go back to their old partner. They just needed to be single for a while because they were consistently making bad choices about who they dated.

    The main reason I’ve hated my friends’ partners: My friends are all genuinely nice people. Sometimes they’ve dated women who are shitty to them and they didn’t have enough experience/spine to stand up for themselves.

    For me it was easy…she was a terrible person. The three of us worked together. At the time she was on husband #3. She was very rude, crude, loud and obnoxious. Me and my buddy would actually make fun of her all the time…..and she for some unknown reason would make fun of me…in front of other people in meetings and what not….like calling me out on stuff I didn’t do….and it was like this for 3 or 4 years. Then it happened. She told someone that she though my friend was cute…..she actually told me months prior and I never said anything to him. Found out later she did it on purpose in hopes of me telling him. But anyways it got back to him…and my friend is one of those guys that essentially falls in love if someone likes him. And that’s all it took. She began to cheat on her husband to date him. I tried to talk to him but this dude was head over heels. The day she divorced her husband was also the same day they did a shotgun wedding. Then they moved away. This was 20 years ago and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen him since.

    Yes. I don’t exactly hate her but definitely don’t trust her.

    They have been off/on again for 5 years. Broken up and gotten together all this time. She has made overtures to toher men in group settings, bully him, hot and cold, take drugs, still fighting her ex over the divorce and that has an impact on their relationship, she is mentally unstable (it is pretty obvious that she needs major help but instead is taking her masters in psychology at 52). Lots more. I have told him my concerns and he sees but he wants to give her a chance. At least he keeps us separated as I can’t stand being close to her given her personality and she knows it.

    Hi ex was cheating on him for 16 years so going back is not an option either. Both are terrible.

    He became a totally different person when he started dating her. And not in a good way.

    Mildly racist and sexist comments, she loves Charlie Kirk, and openly talks about how she cheated on a guy in high school Who will forever be “the one” to her.

    she’s not great, small cutting, she’s an adult who lets her parents dictate to her. her parents rules adversely affect him.

    One treated me like a weirdo when all I was doing was being nice. She told my friend it was because her brother had a friend that tried to sleep with her once.

    She kept saying my wife was too good for me and way out of my league.

    Initially, I didn’t mind the latter as my wife is extremely attractive whereas I’m not, but she kept being persistent with this and would constantly bring this up every time.
