this is probably going to make me sound so bad, but my friend keeps talking about her new relationship and sex life, and i just don’t want to hear it. i’ve acknowledged that i’m very jaded when it comes to relationships & dating because i’ve had shit luck (talked to my therapist about this too). i’m very happy for her, and happy with the fact that he’s been treating her right so far. but while i’m very happy for her, part of me gets very sad when she constantly talks about this because it kinda makes me feel hopeless for myself. i feel terrible for even thinking this way and i’m trying to force myself out of it
how can i bring up that i don’t want to know every little detail, or date, or how many times she’s had sex in one night, without sounding like a complete asshole and without her pulling away from me? obviously i’m happy for her, and if something major happens that’s good i would love for her to tell me! i just don’t want to know about every little detail

Tell her. I’m.not being funny but if she is.your true friend. She will or should understand. Say what you said. ” your really happy for her” but you don’t need to know everything.
Tell her you’re happy for her you but you’re not in a good place to hear about others’ relationships right now. Tell her you care about her and would be really happy if y’all can discuss other things until you are feeling in a better mental space for it.
Boom. It’s the truth. She should understand.
