Have you ever not been a big fan of your best friend’s partner? One woman recently got into trouble with her good friend after saying something about his girlfriend, that was not very kind.
She’s 22-years-old and has been close to her friend Danny since high school. Recently, he moved in with his girlfriend, Lucy, and they had a housewarming party on a Friday.
She has a history with Danny, as years ago, they tried dating briefly but realized they functioned much better as platonic friends. However, because of her past with Danny, she seems to be a bit overprotective of him.
Danny and Lucy get along well but have very different personalities. For instance, he and his friends are quiet and introverted, while Lucy and her friends are outgoing and extroverted.
These differences became evident to her during the housewarming party. She remembers Lucy spending most of the night dancing with her friends in a revealing outfit and occasionally pulling Danny away from their friend group to dance with her.
She felt that Danny was being extra quiet that evening and spent most of the night watching Lucy have a good time.
“I asked if it was bothering him how [Lucy] was behaving, and he asked me to explain,” she remembered.
“I mentioned the attention-seeking dancing and the fact she was wearing something really revealing even though other guys were at this party. Danny said it didn’t bother him, then sat with a moody face.”
Later in the evening, Lucy joined her and Danny on the couch and started talking about what an amazing night she had.
Feeling angry with Lucy, she decided to “jokingly” point out how Danny looked miserable. Then, Danny told Lucy about how she thought he was jealous of her outfit.
Lucy simply laughed, rustled Danny’s hair, and suggestively said he was probably quiet and wouldn’t stop staring at her because he was waiting for everyone to leave so he could steal her away for the rest of the night.
“I thought that was completely inappropriate,” she said.
Then, she told Danny that Lucy’s behavior was “disgusting,” and Lucy laughed at her words. So, she decided to get up and leave. A few days later, Danny texted her and said she was only allowed back in their home if she apologized to Lucy.
Then, she asked if Lucy would apologize for making her uncomfortable, and he said that Lucy didn’t have anything to apologize for.
“I was genuinely only worried about my friend, but admit I could have just left without calling her disgusting,” she added. “Also, I’m in no way jealous of Lucy; she’s the opposite of how I’d want to be.”
Do you think she’s being too hard on Lucy?
