Sorry if this is long. I was just wondering if anyone else’s friends have changed the way they act towards you since you got engaged. I have this friend who I’ve been friends with since we were just kids, it’s been about 20 years, we’ll call her Jane for now. She was always the one that had a boyfriend through high school and whatnot, each relationship lasting about two years so she didn’t jump around with dating or anything. Two years ago I met my fiancé, she had a boyfriend of over a year and a half at the time. I moved in with FH after five months and my friend continuously told me it wouldn’t work because we didn’t know each other well enough. Fast forward a year, she finally ends her toxic relationship and is single for two months before finding a new boyfriend. About three months into their relationship she was telling me how he’s the one and she just knows it (he’s a good guy so I hope it works out, unfortunately she has said this about every guys she’s dated 😕) and how she was ready for him to give her a ring and how she thinks it’s going to happen soon. (Although I knew it wouldn’t because he already told me a plan he has for about a year and a half from now) My FH proposed to me around their 5 month anniversary. Of course I was happy and sent a group message to my group of girlfriends. This specific friend didn’t respond. Then while talking with my best friend (a mutual friend of Jane & I’s) we’ll call her Susie, she tells me how my FH told my bff he was going to propose. Susie was excited and felt like she had to tell someone and figured it would be fine to tell Jane. Apparently Jane seemed angry when she heard the news. I’ve now heard from a few different friends that Jane is saying that she’s angry at me because she thought she should’ve gotten a ring before me. I know everyone gets engaged at different times in their relationships but it was almost two years for us and a few months for them, we had moved in together, bought our very own house together, got two dogs, etc before getting engaged so I just don’t understand what makes her feel like she “deserved” a ring before me...it’s not a contest. We were very close before FH proposed but she hasn’t talked to me very much since. I guess I just don’t really understand what changed...a ring that had nothing to do with her?
Worry this was long, it’s just been weighing on me for a little while and I needed to get that out.
