So Im really upset but dont know if im overreacting....
Hi All-
My two closest friends are both in very bad relationships.... One has been dating a guy for nine years and he will not propose to her... she has threatened to leave him many times unless he proposes and he never has but she still stays with him. My other close friend is with a guy that she is not happy with just because she thinks she can't find anyone better.
So ive been really quiet about being engaged... because I know they are sensitive about the topic but today I was talking to my friend and said we booked the hall and she started crying hysterically. Her exact words were 'I cant believe you are getting married before me.... Ive been dating my boyfriend longer than you' She then ran out of my house crying and called about two hours later to apologize for leaving so quickly. My other friend said to me 'Im happy for you but jealous that I am not making wedding plans for myself'. I am so excited to talk about plans I am making for the wedding but feel that I cant share them with the two closest friends that i have. Im really frustrated and upset because I feel that I have always been there to support them and now no ones around for me. Am i totally overreacting??? My Fh says not to let it bother me but it really does. I have been involved in many of my married friends weddings and have never felt jealous or angry... Ive always been so happy to celebrate in such a special way... yeah i have felt excited to think one day ill be picking out a wedding dress or something like that.. but never anything bad. Anyone have any experiences they can share??? Or just give me some advice on how to deal with this. Thanks.
