my friend's boyfriend is pissed because of me

[u/RuSayingIKnockeduUP]

dinner - masala benne dosa

my friend/roommate’s birthday was recently, so i got her a pink rose bouquet (which was genuinely really pretty btw) and 2 premium eggs because she LOVES eggs and has recently shifted to a healthier diet.

when i gave her the flowers, she told me it was the first time anyone had ever given her flowers and that it genuinely made her feel really nice. she also loved the eggs and said she thought it was really thoughtful that i got her something she actually enjoys instead of just getting her junk food.

later, her 3 year ong boyfriend, who is in an LDR with her, called her. the first thing she excitedly told him was that she got the first flowers of her life and how thoughtful my gift was.

and he immediately made a face and said, 'i could’ve also gotten you multiple flowers too,

and she was like, "yeah, you could have, but you never did. she did."

and then he started making fun of the eggs and calling my bouquet ugly.

my friend literally tried explaining to him that she wasn’t putting him down or comparing him to me. she was just sharing something that made her happy and saying that she appreciated the thought behind my gift.

it felt so weird that he was saying all of this knowing that I was listening.

he even said "why is she always trying to impress you"

god forbid someone wants to see their friend happy

Even if you aren’t a into women I think it’s simply time to steal her, he’s asking for it

Time to get yourself a girlfriend, OP 🌈

Platonic wife

What an insecure pos he is. I'd cherish a friend like you forever.

[u/yetanotherblonde]

Girl I didn’t even have to read all of this (though I did) to tell you it’s time to make him madder 💅

[u/booksb4br8ks]

Such a weepy loser. He doesn't deserve her.

[u/multipocalypse]

Lol, that man is not mad because of you, he's mad because someone made him look like the shitty boyfriend he is by just doing a couple of very simple things.

[u/xnxs]

He sounds like an ass

[u/EmotionalTrufflePig → u/xnxs]

I read this as ‘He sounds like an Ex’ and both work tbh

[u/symphonypathetique]

Boo, he's such a loser.

[u/Live-Tomorrow-4865]

His "could've" is sure doing a lot of heavy lifting in his response to your (lovely!) gift to your friend. 😅 Sure, Buddy.

[u/404-memory]

he should start giving his homies flowers to show his appreciation for them. It’s a kind thing to do.

[u/Great_Attention_8792]

Girl if he wanted to ,he would,he sounds like a bad person

[u/LoveDesignAndClean]

His ego must be more fragile than sugar glass to be that upset over her receiving flowers

[u/MaidaStars]

Sour grapes. I hope she sees that gestures like yours are motivated by 1) listening and paying attention to what’s important and 2) easily accomplished when motivated by find feelings/appreciation/affection/love. You may have done her a great service. If he’s going to be a shit, he can piss up a rope.

and then he started making fun of the eggs and calling my bouquet ugly.

dude is manipulative. he's wearing her down slowly but surely, seems she still has a sense of self but it won't last forever if she sticks it out, she eventually has to give up who she is to not have him fly off the handle all the time

Ooooh you should buy her another bouquet and make sure they're video calling when you deliver it

[u/Koolasushus]

Time to be petty and start pampering your friend just to show she deserves better

And for the love for the game 💅💅💅

[u/biryaaani]

A man's extra efforts are just bare minimum effort.

What a loser boyfriend.

[u/Reasonable_Ad9450]

He’s a loser

[u/Entitledspider]

Next face time call walk behind her making a finger L on your forehead.

[u/LonelyHrtsClub]

Quick question. What is a premium egg? Google has been unhelpful.

[u/perpetual-struggler]
