Best Friend Not Happy

Have any of you experienced family or friends not being happy for you? If so, how did you handle it?

My gf surprised me & proposed last weekend on the beach. It was beautiful and romantic. She had will you marry me written in the sand with rose petals, & our families were there. She told my cousin and best friend about it beforehand. They couldn’t be there b/c we were on vacation.


We’ve been back a wk and my “bestie” has yet to say congratulations, how was your trip or anything. She hasn’t mentioned it at all. I was home 4 days before I heard anything from her at all & that was just a call to gossip.

She’s been married 10 years & her husband cheats & treats her & her kids (his stepkids) very badly but she won’t leave. She use to always bring it to our attention that she was married & we weren’t when we talked about relationship advice.

Well my cousin just celebrated her 2nd anniversary & I’m newly engaged. She made comments when my cousin was planning her wedding that let me know she was jealous. She didn’t even attend. She didn’t have a wedding, reception or honeymoon so I think she hated the fact that my cousin was. She felt that she had one up on us b/c she was the only one in the group married. Now I can tell she’s not happy for me. Especially being that I was the one who swore I’d never get married. I knew she was a jealous person b/c of things she’d say about others, but I didn’t think she’d act this way with me.
