    Font - Posted by u/Ok_Professional_6987 21 hours ago 23 5 S AITA For ruining my best friend's engagement? Not the A-hole My girlfriend thinks I did nothing wrong but advised me to try reddit for a broader opinion. We're all mid 30s. My best friendD and I go back a long way, we served in the military together and as much as I love him I'll admit he's prone to getting a bit blinded in a relationship. He's aware of this too and has in the past asked me to tell him if he's not seeing flaws in his pa

    Font - D has been with his current partner E for 2 years (engaged 6 months)and I've had a few concerns but nothing major. They got engaged recently and we were all happy for him. Due to work issues I had to go in his place for a few wedding planning things and had some concerns about the way she talked to people serving us - rude and entitled. I mentioned this to my gf (who has never taken to E) and she confirmed E quote "was a total Karen" at times. I've always believed in the old adage "judge

    Font - D broke it off once he heard the recording and I received a message from E telling me I'd quote "ruined her life." I know D well enough to know that seeing E at her "worst" like that would have been a death sentence for their relationship and I worry if I'd raised my concerns earlier then perhaps D could have tempered E's behaviour and they wouldn't have had to end the relationship. I've tried to keep this brief but let me know if you need more information.

My guess is if she acted like a monster in front of you, she's acted similarly around him, or at least let her mask slip enough to give him something to worry about. If one recording of her chewing out a waitress was enough to trigger breaking off the engagement, he probably already had his doubts. Her outburst was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

If she doesn't like people finding out what she's like, she's probably just not a nice person lol 1 17 3 Reply Share Report Save Ok_Professional_6987 OP · 21h Thank you, I think if I'd honoured his request fully I'd have spoken up earlier.

    Font - Saltynut99 - 19h Partassipant [4] NTA. You know, two days I ago I dumped my boyfriend of two years. On Saturday he said things that I would have NEVER imagined could come out of his mouth, but I chose to believe him when he showed me who he was. Honestly? People have been hinting and straight up saying his behaviours were toxic for months, but I was so in love that I was completely blind to how unhappy I actually was. Sometimes it takes having the picture of someone you've built up in you

    Font - angel2hi - 19h NTA. And honestly, I get she was out of line. But two years of a relationship and 6 months engaged? I don't think he dumped her only because of that. If you love someone and think they are a wonderful person and see a video (even one that's horrifyingly bad behavior) you don't ghost them. You confront them. You weigh what you saw with what you know of them over years. Either they spoke and he didn't like what he heard or he already had red flags and this was a tipping point

    Font - AlvinsHOttJuiceB0x · 20h Partassipant [2] NTA-you did him a favor. I had a good friend who dated a girl that was the absolute pits- ruined friendships and completely isolated our buddy, because no one wanted to deal with her shit..it's not like he was happy either, but he didn't have the greatest self esteem at the time and fell hard for girls. We were in our early twenties and stupid enough to stay quiet about how we felt out of fear we'd strain our friendship with him. By the time the r
