NTA: Make plans to get to know the boyfriend
“NTA Your friend is being insensitive. You do not shove your relationship in someone’s face when they’re going through a breakup. She is all kissy and cuddly with her bf while you’re the third wheel watching on?
And on girls night? When there’s no one else you can talk to? That’s really insensitive of your friend. This is not the night to get to know her bf better. This is a night where your friend is supposed to be there for you and have fun and dance to help you over your breakup.
I’d tell her that what she’s doing is really insensitive. I’d definitely not go with her.”
“I think there is a big difference between a girls night turning into a group night based on the couples ratio. Having a girls night turn into a couples event with ONE single person is a very insensitive and pretty rude.”
