Thank you for your articles. I stumbled upon this because I was trying to find a way out of my annoyance with people who do this. Am I being "bitter" or "jealous" for feeling this way? I'm not sure why I get targeted as a single person to have to listen to the bragging. It's like they hone in on me! The ones who are insecure and have had really bad past relationships seem to want to prove it to everyone the most.
Sometimes it's like TMI--too much information. Being told the first time they slept with each other, showing all the love notes, and gifts, the lovey dovey phone calls on speaker phone--I've had it! lol!
I try to feel happy for my friends and family in relationships, but it withers away when I see bragging is done deliberately anytime that person feels an inkling of insecurity. I'm trying to figure out a peaceful way to deal with my emotions. I've mostly distanced myself trying not to make it so obvious. It's testing my ability to say "No" to this behavior and salvage my self-esteem.
