One man fell out with his best friend - after accusing him of "ruining" his proposal to his girlfriend, and subsequently uninviting him from their wedding.
The man in question had been dating his fiance for three years and had planned a perfect proposal.
Taking to Reddit - the man posted his story anonymously to the subreddit, AITA (Am I the A**hoe).
"I (26, male) & my fiancé(24, female) have dated for three years. In the last year we’ve talked about marriage, she’s sent me rings she likes, & all she asked was that I don’t tell her exactly when so it can be mostly surprised.
"I got her the ring of her dreams, & planned a whole weekends in the mountains which is her favorite place.. The only people who came with us were a few of our friends so I could call it a friend’s getaway."
Enter the best friend.
The man explained: "We got down there, & one of our other friends, who is a photographer, agreed to take the pictures as a gift.
"About 20 minutes before we were set to go, our photographer friend came to me & said that my friend had told my fiancé I was going to propose to her & that our friend wasn’t actually just trying out her camera. She had heard him tell her & said that my fiancé seemed upset & asked him why he would ruin the surprise.
"I didn’t say anything about it to my fiancé until after. She told me that yes, he had told her right before. I went to him & asked why he told her & he said “because it was funny”. He wanted to see her reaction & the fact he ruined it for her was funny to him. I told him it was unfair & childish.
"The last time I saw him I told him that he acts jealous of my relationship & that he can’t come to my wedding if he’s going to act like this/possibly ruin our wedding too. That as of right now, I don’t want see him coming at all or being a part of my life."
Explaining that his parents and his friend's parents were defending his "playful behaviour" and were accusing him of being "jealous" that his friend was single, the man asked the forum who was in the right?
"He sounds toxic, and I wouldn’t doubt it if he ruined your wedding too out of his jealousy. I’m gonna assume the only reason you’ve brought him back in your life in the first place, since you said you drifted apart, was to appease your parents. Tell them to leave you alone, they can’t dictate your friends." replied on user.
A second agreed, saying: "It’s not playful it’s spiteful and outright vindictive. He’s trying to hurt people for a reaction and then justifying it with oh it’s funny to hurt people. He’s a w***er."
