Two friends, engaged a few months apart with VERY different situations.

Hi Ladies,

I need some advice on how to handle this situation. My friend got engaged a few months ago and is getting married December 9th, 2011. Her proposal was the least romantic I have ever heard and consisted of "we can get married if you want to"...there was no ring and the location according to her smelled like feet Lol. She never thought they would ever get married so she was happy regardless and I was happy for her when she told me. Fast forward 2 months later, about 2 weeks ago my FI proposed to me in such a romantic way with a beautiful ring and it was perfect. I hesitated telling her because I didn't want to take away from her moment, but felt she would be hurt if she heard it from someone else so I ended up telling her and assuring her that it's all about her until after her wedding and I would not discuss my plans or anything about my wedding until hers is over. She said she was happy for me and thanked me for being so considerate. This was all over texts and I saw her for the first time since my engagement a few days ago and she didnt say anything at all, didn't ask how he did it and she clearly saw my ring and didn't even comment. My mom thinks it's a bit rude since she is supposed to be a really good friend of mine. Am I wrong to feel like she should have at least awknowledged my happiness? ( not sure how else to word it lol)

    [QUOTE]Considering you told her that you would not discuss anything about your own engagement/wedding until hers is over...in a month...no, I don't think it's rude. And she already told you she was happy for you. It sounds like the promises you made to her were hollow if you were still expecting her to talk about your engagement a month out from her wedding.

    As usual I am going to agree with Liv on this one. Just because you enjoyed the romantic proposal and the beautiful ring doesn't mean it's something your friend values and is jealous of. It almost sounds to me like you <em>want</em> her to be jealous of your proposal.

    I ditto PPs.  Honestly, it sounds like YOU are the one comparing your circumstances.  YOU'RE the one criticizing HER proposal and lack of ring...so forgive her for not jumping for joy over her patronizing "friend's" proposal.

    EDIT:  Also, you were the one who made it awkward when you offered not to talk about it until after her wedding.  Normal, rational people want to share in the joy of their loved ones, even if that joy happens to fall around important times in their own lives.  By suggesting that you not discuss your engagement until after her wedding, you were the one who started this competitive nonsense.

    I said I would not discuss my plans about my wedding, never said anything about  my engagement but I guess you are right, she did say she was happy for me over the text.

    Ish. Probably not "good-good" but I'm hoping to be around a bit more than I have been.

    OP - I just wouldn't focus on her lack of attention that much. She's busy putting together her own wedding, and regardless of whether you meant that you wouldn't discuss your wedding or your engagement with her, I can see why she wouldn't fuss over it. I'm not one to fuss over that too much either.

    But instead, focus on the people who have shown you their excitement for you in other ways, rather than narrowing in on this one thing.

    But FWIW, I don't find it rude. I think people just react differently to things *shrug*

    Oh wow, okay she told me herself that while it was not the proposal she expected, she was just happy that he finally decided to marry her, she critisized her own proposal several times and thinks it was lame so it's not about her not valueing romance and rings. I did not critisize her proposal, she did that on her own, I was happy for her regardless because he finally decided to give her a wedding that she's always wanted and deserves! If I wanted her to be jealous of my situation I would have flaunted it...all she knows is that I am engaged and nothing else. You guys are making me sound like a such a bad friend when it is really not the case Tongue out

    Actually, looks like you did criticize her proposal. Maybe not to her face, but on here. I guess people on here just don't understand exactly what it was you were looking for from her or expected from her when you included that unnecessary information in your OP.

    Alright I understand where you are coming from. I made things awkward when I suggested it be all about her since she is getting married so soon. While trying to do the right and selfless thing in my mind, I created this situation. Next time I should just probably ask for advice about what to do BEFORE suggesting we ignore my situation until after her wedding. Oopsies!. I ruied the whole "we can be happy for each other thing at the same time and discuss plans togehter", went about it the wrong way when in reality if the tables were turned, I would be just as happy for my friend because we are both getting married!!! My Bad.

    Get over it.  Seriously.  If this is how you are acting now, how are you going to be when people are NOT excited about your wedding planning?  This is just ridiculous.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Two friends, engaged a few months apart with VERY different situations. : I am at work and don't have time to look over and correct my typing while worrying about who is walking by lol. My goal when i post from work is to at least make it legible, proper grammar and punctuation comes last, sorry.

    I don't like being nitpicky, but part of being legible is proper grammar and punctuation.

    JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, and make up for my lack of posting recently. Plus, it's a funny picture.
