Friends Breakup - WWYD
Would you tell a friend that her exbf asked for her parents blessing/hand/watevs and was basically told no? Would you tell her if one of the reasons she ended the relationship was because no plans of an engagement (future) were in the works, or so she thought and she thought?
I know the bigger issue is the fact that exbf should have communicated better instead of letting parents dictate pieces of the relationship. I'm just wondering what you would do.
Re: Friends Breakup - WWYD
When they were breaking up did he tell her that he, in fact, was planning on proposing and asked her parents permission? I mean, I'd think that he would have brought it up when she said why she was breaking up with him, but who knows.
I hate getting that involved when I'm friends with both people, but if there were really NO other reasons for breaking up, I'd probably tell her.
I would...if that was THE main reason they broke up (well that and the communication issue).
Also I would suggest that they should communicate better in the future (with that person or any other person).
Plus...I will tell him to wake up and smell the roses...he was gonna marry her, not her parents! If they said no, he should have ask why...if he needed to work out so meting he should have and if there was nothing he needed to work out with the parents and it was just them not liking him...well tough luck...they should have licked their eyeball and shut up...how many people get married and the ILs don't really like them and vise versa?
This.
Thanks for the responses.
Yeah there are other issues here like why he cared so much that her parents said no and why he never said anything to her about it. But yes it is the main reason.
I would tell her.

nope.I would def. not. He need to be the one to communicate with her.
I'd email him or meet him for coffee and tell him your thoughts, but for some reason he didn't or hasn't told her and neither have her parents. Sounds like there is more at play than meets the eye.
