15 Vicious Thoughts Single Girls Have Around Couples
You can't always choose when you are going to wind up single, and how great or horrible your single life is totally depends on your attitude. Being miserable is a choice, even if people do not usually think that. The sad truth is that a lot of single women are bitter AF and never seem to stop hating their lives, their solo status, and even people who are in relationships. They feel like those other people are just so lucky and like they somehow won the dating and romance lottery. They can't figure out how those couples ended up together and how they managed to win the dating game. Sadly, some single girls think the WORST things about couples and it is not always pretty. Okay, it is basically never pretty. Here are 15 vicious thoughts single girls have around couples. Maybe you have thought some of them yourself?!
15 They're Totally Settling
Yup, this may seem super harsh, but a lot of single girls look at the couples that they know and think that they are both settling. They may think that these people have absolutely nothing in common or that they would benefit from having a different kind of partner. Maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong, but either way, they are definitely making a judgment call that is way harsh. Not being in a relationship makes it a whole lot easier to judge and think that people settle more than they actually do. Of course settling is a thing and it may suck, but does anyone really know what goes on in someone else's relationship? Can single girls really prove that couples are settling? Maybe one partner is, but both of them? That doesn't really seem like it's possible. Or if it is, it's definitely the worst thing ever.
14 They Couldn't Find Anyone Else
OUCH. This is a horrible thing but lots of single girls think this when they see a couple that they feel is unhappy. They may not even know these people at all and they might have no right to even think about them. But they want to judge them and they want to think that they couldn't find anyone else to date and that's why they're together. Sometimes single girls think this about the couples that they are actually good friends with. Or maybe they think that about their BFF who they swear is a relationship girl and can never be without a boyfriend. It may seem vicious but it's a lot more common than it might seem. The awkward AF thing about this kind of terrible thought is that it might actually be the truth. Sometimes people really aren't meant for relationships and aren't girlfriend/boyfriend material and so they date the first person that shows any interest in them. But still, it's a pretty vicious thing to think.
13 They're Too Lazy To Break Up
There isn't a single woman out there who hasn't thought this about at least one couple that they know. The thing is that a lot of couples really are too lazy to break up with each other. One person might want to dump the other and they might even be thinking about that for a long time, but the truth is that they just don't feel like getting around to it. They have other things to do and focus on and breaking up isn't really the most fun thing out there, so they leave it alone. Soon they realize that they're still in this long-term relationship and, oops, they never actually got out. Single girls really do think that other couples are still together only because they're too lazy to dump each other and move on. It's a vicious thought but it's a pretty common one too since this does actually happen quite a lot. Hey, sometimes what's harsh is also super true.
12 They're Too Comfortable
Another vicious thought that a lot of single girls have about couples? That both people are way too comfortable with each other and that's why they're still together. Everyone knows that couple that seem to hate each other and fight all the time, especially in public, but refuse to admit that they're not meant to be together after all. So instead of breaking up, this couple just keeps going the way that they have been going and it really sucks to witness. Sometimes single girls think that a couple is too comfortable and that's why they won't break up. They love having a boyfriend/girlfriend and they don't want to walk through the world alone. They like bringing someone to an event or a party, they like talking about their significant other, and they just generally love the whole thing. It's not the best reason to be in a relationship (actually, it's a pretty awful one) so single girls are kind of right to think this vicious thought.
11 They Just Want To Say They Have A BF/GF
Vicious… and true. Some single girls think that couples are only a couple because they want to say that they have someone in their life. They don't want to be alone. Maybe they've never been alone. They're used to being in a relationship, to having regular plans with someone, and to bringing a plus-one literally everywhere that they go. They're in a rebound relationship because they hate that someone dumped them and they can't imagine going it alone. They're not used to being single, they think single people are losers, or they just think they're too old not to be in a relationship. There are a million reasons and all of them are kind of lame and ridiculous. The only reason to be in a relationship is if you love the other person and feel a real connection with them, but you can't really tell this type of couple that. They just like to date for the sake of it and you can't change their mind.
10 Someone Is Cheating
It's pretty awful to think that someone is cheating on their partner, and yet sometimes single women think this way. They figure that something seems off and not quite right. But since it's rough to tell someone that you think that their boyfriend or girlfriend is totally cheating on them (and you might not end up staying friends with that person if you admit that), single girls will think this vicious thought instead. Maybe they have been cheated on in the past and so they have first-hand experience with this. Or maybe they've watched too many movies or read too many romance novels. Sometimes it seems like this is happening because one partner keeps not showing up when they say they will, or they're always late, or they seem to be staying late at the office. Or maybe they tell a friend that their partner is being sketchy and so that's why a single girl would think this way. It's pretty harsh, that's for sure.
9 They Create Drama
Some couples really do create drama, or at least one-half of the couple does, so it is not really a single girl's fault if she thinks this way. But this is kind of a subjective thing. Some people might think that a couple is creating drama and fighting with each other for no reason (or because they think it is somehow fun or entertaining). Other people might think that the drama is totally real and that something really is going on. Single girls definitely have the vicious thought that a couple is merely creating drama and being absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully, they are only thinking this and do not actually say anything to the couple in question because that would be awkward AF. There would definitely be a fight (especially if the single girl is totally spot-on and the couple really does create tension and conflict everywhere that they go).
8 They Want To Get Back At Their Exes
Another awful single girl thought about couples? That both people are only seeing each other because they want to get back at their exes. This is especially true if it's a rebound kind of situation. They want to get some major revenge and make the people that they are actually in love with super jealous. Yeah, this may be exactly what is happening… but thinking it is still pretty horrible. Because it's a hard thing to admit. Single girls may think this but hopefully, they never let it slip that they feel this way because it would lead to so much drama, it would be crazy. Both people would definitely claim that they have no idea what they're talking about and that the single girl is totally nuts. And the single girl definitely doesn't need that kind of negative energy in her life. Hey, she's single and she's been through enough.
7 They Have Nothing In Common
This is a lot more vicious than it might seem at first glance. Just think about it. You date someone because you like them, you click with them, and you have some stuff in common, right? Why would a couple be together if they didn't have anything in common? Well, they might be together for a whole bunch of ridiculous and awful reasons, and so they might be so badly matched, it's not even funny. Of course, someone who's not in the relationship shouldn't really get involved and shouldn't even think anything about it. Because it's really none of their business. Lots of single girls might look at the couples in their lives and think, how could they possibly think that they should be with each other? Don't they get they have nothing in common and seem like a super weird couple? It's an awful thought since it's something that this couple definitely doesn't want to admit or have anyone know.
6 They Just Want To Get Married
Oh man. Sometimes this is true, sometimes it is totally false, but either way, it is the worst thing to think about a couple. Single girls could be thinking this about a couple because they're jealous and they have weddings on the brain themselves. It's hard for single girls not to be totally jealous when they see an engaged couple because they wonder if that will ever happen to them and they definitely want it to. And they probably wanted to be engaged yesterday and they hate that it hasn't happened yet. Whether it's true or not, though, this is still an awful thing to think since it proves that the single girl thinks that this couple has no business being together and they just want to say that they are engaged (or married if they're already hitched). It's a pretty rough accusation to throw at people, that's for sure.
5 They're Only In It For The Physical Stuff
This is something that is super insulting and really none of anyone's business. Of course couples need to be attracted to each other and of course, they should be into all the physical stuff that is a huge part of any relationship. That goes for intimacy of all levels, including the emotional kind. If a single girl thinks that a couple is only together so they can hook up, that is a pretty mean thought. They might be thinking this way because they do not understand why a couple is together and they think that they do not have anything in common or seem poorly matched in some way. Or hey, maybe they are insanely jealous and would think literally anything to make themselves feel better about not having someone to call their own. It is a harsh reality but sometimes being single means having a lot of awful thoughts about couples.
4 They Totally Hate Each Other
The problem with this line of thinking is that a lot of couples kind of deserve this vicious thought. There are a lot of couples who fight with each other all the time (both in private and in public). And there a lot of women who complain about their boyfriends 24/7. They say the worst things about him and make it sound like they are absolutely going crazy being with him. They hate the way that he looks, what he eats (and even the way that he eats which is kind of a weird one to even notice), and basically everything about him. Then when the single girl talks to the boyfriend, they learn that he thinks the same way. Um, awkward. It's no wonder that single girls would think this about a couple if that's what they've been exposed to. If only couples could be less awful about their partners. Or break up if that's what they want to do. Otherwise, single girls will keep thinking this and nothing can stop them.
3 They Deserve Better
Sure, this might be completely true, but should anyone really think it? Probably not. It is pretty mean and yet definitely something that a lot of single women think when they are around the same couple a lot. They feel that both people deserve better because they think that the girl is too controlling and clingy and the guy is a bit too lazy or does not put any effort into the relationship. This is one of those things that is really no one's business but the two people who are actually in the relationship. It is impossible to know what really goes on behind the scenes so to speak and so single people really need to stop judging other couples so much. Of course, that is never going to happen since that is basically their main form of entertainment. It is like a sport for them. And yeah, they know it is kind of weird.
2 They Need Couples Therapy
Um, HARSH. It's never good to think that other people need to go to therapy. It means that they've got some serious problems or that they can't deal with something in their life. Sure, it's not that therapy is a bad thing. It's actually pretty awesome and helps a lot of people. But no one wants to know that someone else thinks they should go to therapy. It's kind of an insult. It's especially an insult if a couple learns that someone in their life thinks they need counselling because they have so many issues in their relationship. They would probably hate it even more if they knew that someone without a boyfriend is thinking that way. After all, what does this single girl know?! She's not exactly in a relationship herself and she probably doesn't know what it takes to make something work. But the single girl is still going to think this (and hopefully will keep it in her head).
1 They're Using Each Other
Sure, these are all pretty vicious thoughts, but this one definitely takes the cake. Some single girls think that some couples are using each other and that's a horrible thought to have. Can you imagine?! It's awful to think that people are only dating each other because they get something out of the relationship (other than love and all that good stuff). Maybe one partner is using the other one for their personal or professional connections. Maybe they are using them for their awesome apartment or house since they were too lazy to get a place of their own. Or their lease was up when they just started dating and they figured they would just move in (even though it was way too early). This is basically a type of manipulation and lying and it's pretty awful. Or hey, maybe the single girl is totally wrong and no one is using each other and she's just super bitter and thinking the worst. That happens too.
