so I was talking to my best friend last night who has been with her boyfriend about a year. She asked if I would be upset if she got engaged before me. I told her I wouldn''t be upset but I would be jealous for awhile that she got something I''ve been waiting for a bit longer and honestly (I think) wanting a bit more. I told her I would need time alone to get over it and then I would be fine. Then I told her I really didn''t think she was ready to get engaged. Her boyfriend doesn''t bother to get to know her friends and it seems like she is very secretive about him. Also, as far as I know they haven''t even had their first fight yet (which I think tells a lot about how well a relationship will work). She asked why I wasn''t engaged and I said we are not financially stable enough to consider it right now. Her response was that she was financially well off as is her boyfriend so why should it be a problem. Then I proceeded to tell her that''s not all there is to consider. When I tried to explain my point of view she just got upset. Does anyone have any advice?
