Love and Engagement: All is fair in love and war

All is fair in love and war

Today, my best friend got engaged. I would be happy for her, if it wasn’t for the fact that her fiancé was my boyfriend just 2 months ago. Upon hearing the news, I severed all ties with her. She ended up bitching me out and calling me selfish for being upset. FML

Today, my best friend announced her engagement to my ex. We broke up two days ago. I’m no longer speaking to her. She tells me I’m being a drama queen and to “stop throwing a pity party” because “If he was the one he would still be with you.” FML

Today, my best friend finally broke up with her knob of a boyfriend. This would be great except now my boyfriend of two years has broken up with me because she's finally single. She introduced us. FML

Today, my supposed "best friend" started going out with the girl I'd just split up with, immediately after she said she wanted to see other people. FML

Today, I called off my engagement with my now ex-girlfriend. Yesterday, while drunk at a get-together with all our friends, she admitted she's still in love with her best friend, and only went out with me to forget about him, but is still pining for him anyway. She doesn't understand why that factoid might upset me. FML

Today, I was talking to my best friend about how much of an asshole my ex-boyfriend is. After about 2 hours of non-stop bitching, it turns out she's actually dating him. FML

That's quite a gamble, sir

Today, I called off my engagement because I fell in love with my best friend of 10 years since we recently reconnected. I confessed my feelings to her and asked her out. She rejected me and said she only sees me as a friend. Now I’m completely single. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML

Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML

Today, I was invited to my friend's wedding. I wouldn't mind, but she chose her now fiancé over me, despite him being in prison for assault, a heroin addict and a general dick. This was all because I accidentally called her stupid three years ago. FML

Today, my best friend became my ex-best friend. I have finally gotten over the guy she stole from me a year ago and have developed a crush on another guy. My best friend called me today to tell me that she broke up with the first guy and is now going out with my current crush. FML

Sorry this happened to you... Your friend is an idiot if she does not realise how hurt you are and if she thinks her reasoning is totally acceptable... On another note, your ex sounds quite fickle, so your best friend shouldn't be surprised if one day she finds him cheating on her. You dodged a bullet

So, basically you got got rid of an jerk ex, and also a bitch of a friend. Sounds like a win-win to me.

I hope you mean EX-blah-blibbity-blah-blah... I can see her point. You did a great thing by getting the two of them together, and instead of basking in the glory of your greatness, you made it all about you and ruined everything.

Did he cheat with her or were you broken up? Because if you were broken up the only thing I'd question is their sanity at getting engaged to someone after less than two months of knowing them? Wtf.

even if they're broken up, everyone knows that there's still feelings involved. if the bestfriend was dead set on her ex, the least she could do is play the villain and stay away from her.
