What do you think of when you hear the word “best friend”? For me, it’s a friend who has always been there for me through thick and thin, who I can tell anything to, and who will never betray me. Now, imagine that the same friend starts treating your place like her own, bringing her sketch ball boyfriend over without your permission, borrowing your most valuable belongings without asking, and drinking your alcohol without asking as well.
You would be pretty annoyed, right? It gets even worse when the person who’s supposed to be your significant other doesn’t see anything wrong with that kind of behavior because that is what their best friend does. This is the situation one Redditor shared with the AITA online community, and the post became viral.
Do you think that the fiancée’s behavior was acceptable as well? What would you have done in this situation?
