“One of my best friends is getting engaged, and I think she’s making a mistake. I brought it up the other night. We were both a little drunk. And she didn’t get angry, but she told our other friends that I seemed disappointed in her. Maybe I overstepped my bounds. I’ve asked myself if I’m just jealous. Or if I’m trying to bring us back to the place we were: two roommates, watching movies, exploring New York. But I really think my only concern is her happiness. I just don’t think her fiancé ‘gets’ her. He’s a really nice guy. He’s not asking her to change or anything. She’s just not herself when she’s around him. She always seems like she’s about to say one thing, then she’ll pause, and say something else. Like she’s searching for the words that will make her who she needs to be for the relationship to work.”
