This 26-year-old woman has known her best friend, who is a 26-year-old guy, for over 15 years.

Unfortunately, though, her best friend is reportedly very socially awkward and has a lot of confidence issues that stem from past trauma. In fact, as soon as he turned 18, his parents began constantly telling him that he was unwanted.

So because of that, her best friend had a very hard time dating in his younger years.

More recently, though, it was her best friend’s birthday. And since he does not have many friends, he asked her and her Boyfriend of one year– who is 27– to invite some of their own friends to a birthday gathering.

She and her boyfriend did not mind doing that, either, and at first, the Party was going great. But then, about an hour into the celebration, the party took a turn.

At that point, one of her boyfriend’s friends asked their partner to marry them. And despite the proposal being adorable– and her boyfriend being happy– it was clear that her best friend was visibly upset about it.

In fact, her best friend actually started walking up to his bedroom without even saying anything. Her boyfriend noticed something was off, too, and approached her best friend to ask what he was up to.

Her best friend ended up lying, though, and just claimed that he was not feeling well. Then, for whatever reason, her boyfriend looked at him and decided to make an entirely inappropriate comment.

“I know you are sad because you would never be able to experience something like this,” her boyfriend actually said.

And, of course, her best friend was mortified and ended up running to his room and closing the door. She, on the other hand, was absolutely livid. In fact, she actually just called off the entire party before kicking her boyfriend out.

Then, once that was handled, she went back upstairs to her best friend’s room and convinced him to open up the door. Afterward, though, she found him in tears.

“He was sobbing and told me everyone’s life would be better if he wasn’t born and told me he was unwanted and would never be loved,” she revealed.

So, at that moment, she felt like an absolutely terrible friend. After all, her best friend had been there for her at her lowest points, yet she had no clue he had been feeling so sad.

And after having that realization, she decided to stay with her best friend until he was alright. She really just wanted to be there for him, but she was also nervous that he might do something if she was not with him.

So, she ended up calling her boyfriend and filling him in about what had happened.

Her boyfriend was just really angry at her for kicking him out, though, and tried to claim that her best friend was not a kid and could take care of himself.

She refused to leave her best friend’s side, though, and just hung up the phone on her boyfriend. Still, her boyfriend apparently did not take the hint– because he proceeded to blow up her phone and demand that she returns home.

She just kept ignoring his messages, though and waited for her best friend to stop crying and eventually fall asleep.

Then, once everything had calmed down, she honestly started to feel really guilty about everything that had happened that night.

“I feel like a terrible friend for not having a clue about my bestie’s mental health, and I also feel like a terrible girlfriend for upsetting my boyfriend,” she vented.

So, in the wake of her best friend’s botched Birthday Party, she has been left wondering whether kicking her boyfriend out to be there for her best friend made her a real jerk or not.

Is it understandable why her best friend was upset about the proposal taking place during his birthday party? Can you believe her boyfriend thought it was appropriate to make such a rude comment? Did she do the right thing by sticking by her best friend when he needed support? If you had been in her shoes, would you have handled the situation any differently?
