Man Fuming After Fiancee Tells Him He ‘Stole’ Her Best Friend’s Proposal Idea

A man was furious with his fiancée when she accused him of stealing her best friend's proposal idea after he popped the question.

"The engagement itself was wonderful, but I couldn't help but notice how similar it was to a conversation I had with my best friend of over a decade, a conversation that happened many years ago, in which she detailed exactly what she would do 'if she proposed to me,' and it was very specific to my general likes and interests. And I mean, specific!" the woman wrote on Reddit.

At the time, she thought the proposal idea sounded "perfect," and told her friend to "hold onto that for later."

"It's pretty clear to me that he did approach her, and she let him know about this plan. So, after the day itself, I told my new fiancé that it was cute that he asked her how I wanted to be proposed to, but I joked that he stole her entire, very detailed plan, so it was more her proposal than his. He went quiet, and then got angry, then it all came out," the newly engaged woman recalled.

Her boyfriend told her that he "always felt second place" to her best friend, and that he thinks the two might be more than just friends.

"I was shocked. He's never expressed this to me before. He's complained in the past that I spend too much time with her, so I accommodated his needs as best as I could without losing my best friend, but I had no idea he thinks I'm having an affair," she continued.

However, her other friends told her that her fiancé was "completely valid for blowing up" and she needs to do everything she can to "fix this relationship."

Users in the comments blasted the woman for not appreciating her fiancé.

"He did something sweet and tried to give you a good experience you would like. He asked your friends to make sure it was a memorable experience, and you threw it in his face. 'It was more her proposal than his.' What a stupid f---ing thing to say to someone who just proposed to you. You accused him of 'stealing' the idea. That has a negative connotation. It’s a pretty sh---y thing to accuse him of. Don’t make the same mistake with your next boyfriend if they propose too," one person wrote.

"Why would you even say a thing like that? He did exactly what you said was perfect. He wanted it to be nice. It took him planning and effort, and you just said this was my bestie's idea. He told you he felt second place to her, and you need to reflect on your behaviors," another chimed in.

"Her female best friend planned out an elaborate, romantic proposal for no reason other than because she wanted to plan an elaborate, romantic proposal. That's not exactly platonic behavior," someone else commented.
