One of my best friends proposed to his girlfriend yesterday at the beach. He set up a whole picnic area and asked her there in the morning. The issue is that my girlfriend swears that she told them this is what she wanted and every detail was copied. However, I know my friend and I know he probably doesn’t even have recollection of that conversation because it’s not something he would remember and hold onto. Also, the beach setup idea is usually handled by a company and they all look the same/similar.
My girlfriend is now upset because she feels that her wants were stolen from her and that she can never have what she wanted now. She claims it would never be special because it would be copying. She has said to me that I have to make a comment to my friend about how he stole this idea from her, which I don’t want to do because I don’t want to put someone’s engagement in a negative light. I’ve told her that I won’t make a comment about this and she is accusing me of not being supportive and having her back in this situation. She also said that I better make sure when it’s her engagement it’s even more special than what she wanted to make up for what my friend did to her.
She was upset and hysterical all day yesterday saying that my friends stole everything she ever wanted away from her. I tried to comfort her and reassure her it would be fine and her day would be more special when it comes because everything will be for her, but she continues to make statements about how she’ll never be able to have what she wants now. How can I reassure her that I do support her, but also let her know that I won’t be doing things that I don’t agree with? Thanks in advance
TLDR: My girlfriend is upset and feels that my best friend stole her proposal idea from a past conversation she claims they had, and now wants me to make comments to him about it or she feels I’m not supporting her and she can’t be with me.
