Today, my best friend got engaged to the guy she's been seeing for five years. He also happens to be the man I've been in love with for eight. As she was giving me the details, she nonchalantly gave me her reason for accepting the proposal: "Why the hell not, there's always divorce." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML
Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML
Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé of three years, with whom I share a child, fell in love with my best friend and they’ve been going on dates for the last four months after work. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancée wishes she'd never said yes when I proposed, as she is in love with another man, and has been hiding their relationship for years. FML
Today, I watched my best friend get married to the guy I have been in love with since the eighth grade. I was the maid of honor, and had to give a toast to the couple. FML
Today, I told my best friend I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. He thought it would be funny to tell her I was going to propose to her that night. She showed up telling me how much she loves me and that when we get married how great it will be. FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost 5 years (who broke up with me only a week or so ago) told me that she's been speaking to one of my best friends and sees a future with him instead of me. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 6 years. She said no. Why? She's already married. FML

8 years?? Perhaps it's time for you to move on?? And for those saying for OP to tell him, I think she's missed her window. He wouldn't have proposed if he didn't love her best friend, and no decent friend or human would ruin their best friend's relationship or wedding.

Ouch. That's a doomed marriage for sure, and that sucks for everyone involved. But if dreamboy can't see that she's that shallow and stupid after 5 years, then you should probably stop dreaming about him and find someone better.

It sounds like the friend probably made the comment as a joke, and the OP is hearing what they want to hear and instead of taking it as a joke, is aiming to use it to try and wreck their engagement/paint her as a bad person because it validates her own feelings towards the guy, and shows that she would really be better for him. Like the other commenters said, 5 years is a long time to date someone you're not close to or don't care about that much, and if she was really that cruddy of a girlfriend before I'm sure OP knew and would have/should have stepped in then, earlier on. I'm sure they couple is very happy, albeit nervous, and OP is just nervous and can't handle the thought of the man loving her friend more than her, and her friend getting the happy ever after OP feels she deserves more.

I think OP's friend's marriage could be similar to Kim Kardashian's if that is how she really feels.

Eight years "in love with" a man you were never actually in a relationship with? I have a feeling if you ever got the chance to be with him, you would be disappointed. He probably isn't as great as the idea you've built up in your head. It might be time to move on, regardless of whether your friend was serious about her comment.

Must suck to "love" someone for 8 years and not say anything.

You had three years of loving him before your friend got with him, and in those three years you either didn't say anything or he didn't like you back. You clearly missed your chance with this guy, and you should have moved on at least four years ago (I usually believe long-term relationships to get more serious after a year, so I mean four not five).

I think after he was dating your friend for 5 years that you need to get over him. Your chance to make a move was a long time ago. Maybe you should have said something in the 3 years you liked him before she even met him. It's kind of your own fault OP.

Stop trying to make yourself out to be a victim. Your friend has a right to marry the guy, even if its for reasons you do not agree with. For all you know the guy doesn't care and wants to be with her, even if she seems "crummy" for not being as romantic as you feel she should. You do not have a say in their relationship and you need to move on.
