Mel Greig: Are you guilty of this ultimate friendship sin?

I was so excited to see that another one of my close friends had become engaged recently, the smile on her face was about to burst off the screen it was that big and complete. This was obviously a moment that she had wanted and waited for her whole life, and he is a great guy.

I was so incredibly happy for her, but not everyone was. As I read through all the comments I noticed that one of her so called ‘friends’ had written the following: “I’m honestly really happy for you but could you please be more considerate for those that are going through breakups we don’t need to see you flaunting your happiness all over Facebook.”

Wow. Just wow. That is someone who is not coping well with a breakup. I’ve been there, I get it, and it can hurt seeing others in beautiful relationships. But that hurt is because you want it too, and it shouldn’t be mistaken for resentment towards them. Everyone deserves happiness without judgement and should be able to goddamn flaunt that as much as they like.

If someone has a baby are they meant to hide their happiness because they don’t want to upset someone that is having trouble falling pregnant? I’m well aware of my biological clock ticking, but I still have enough love to be happy for my friends, especially when one has just given birth and another four close friends are about to announce their happy news I’m ecstatic for them #auntiemel

If someone is upset at your happiness, you need to realise that’s on them, not you. You have every right to be happy and to share that with the world. To my friends, I’m ok with my situation and I don’t want you ever thinking I would be upset by your happiness so please send immediate baby and wedding spam. THAT’S LIFE. Plus I’m just over here with Ally McBeal and our dancing Ooga Chuka Babies, they are super cute and have rolls like me so it’s fine.

To the girl that felt the need to write that: be a better friend. Put your anguish aside and realise that her post wasn’t about YOU and you should be nothing but happy for her. By the sounds of it you have some healing to do, learn to love yourself again, and don’t hold onto the bitterness of the breakup it will always hold you back.
