He proposed to his GF! I think my best friend has lost his mind?

Question

My best friend has probably been with his GF for 5 years. I find her really annoying, he finds her really annoying, everyone including his friends and family find her really annoying. She has no social skills, no manners, is a know-it-all, and is just really annoying. He even told me a few months ago that he's not attracted to her anymore and he doesn't like having sex with her anymore (wtf?) and was screaming about how disrespectful and annoying she is and how he can't stand living her and wanted to kick her out. I listened to the guy rant for HOURS. Yelling in my ear. I couldn't calm him down. He was supposed to kick her out that night but he didn't even bother to talk to her about it and just internalized everything. Fast forward a couple of months he tells me he's going to propose to her. I laugh it off "HA HA good one" I say. A couple months ago he tells me he bought the ring and was excited about it (puke). Then last weekend he proposed to her on her birthday.

I'm just so baffled right now. No one can stand this girl. My girlfriend can't stand her either. THis is a guy who complained so much about her. He even goes out with girls behind her back, but now all I hear is "I just want to make her happy". Really? This girl who doesn't care about anyone, doesn't care about making anyone happy, is lazy, does nothing, he does everything for her. She's not even hot or attractive or anything. She sucks in bed. She acts like a 14 year old boy and dresses like one. My best friend was the type of guy who would get any girl he wanted. He has a good job. What is wrong with him?

IS HE REALLY GOING TO MARRY HER? I FEEL LIKE I'VE LOST MY BEST FRIEND. We barely talk since he bought the ring because I never realized he was serious until that day. I can't hang out with him because that means I have to see her and I want to kill myself whenever I'm around her.

WTF?

Most hilarious storywriter ever! haha
On a serious note bro you have 2 options and i know , that you know, what they are

1. True Brother Path! ~ Explain to me calmly and simply that he's absolutely lost his mind and slap him the face, then hug him and turn him around.
2. You're wrong ~ You told a completely one sided story.. granted its the only side you have. She may be the most lovely person to him but there may be still a few things in his relationship he can't express to her so it has to be vented out to you. HIS BRO.

Time is pretty much running out so yeah, choose quick and don't back out whichever one it is, but im just sayin.. with 2. you can still have ur friend, you know?

I guess he likes her!

Also, your best friend can bitch about her for hours, so I guess they have something in common in terms of annoyance, haha.

People need to understand, when your friend complains about their relationship, take it with a pinch of salt. Everybody rants about all the bad things their partner does to get it off their chest, they don't feel like ranting about how the partner is so good because they make coffee and breakfast every morning or whatever good things they do.
Therefor, most people hear a lot of the bad and hardly any of the good of their friends relationships.
And who cares if you and his friends/family like her, you're not the one marrying her, and I'm sure he really doesn't care in the slightest what your girlfriend thinks of her.

Yeah I guess you're right.
Maybe he likes having a stupid girlfriend.
Maybe it's because he can cheat on her and she's too stupid to figure out that when he tells her he's hanging out with me he's really out with another girl, who he's probably fucking, since he's essentially dating a 14 year old boy.

Well that's her problem then isn't it? Let her deal with it and her family and friends can pick up the pieces.

It sounds like you have been friends for a long time. I think you owe it to him to have a serious talk about your concern for him moving forward with this wedding. If he explains to you why he's completely committed try to understand and support him. If you absolutely cannot do this then you will have to end the friendship. Don't give up on him before telling him how you feel.

Unfortunately I understand your frustration but he is your best friend and you really should stand by him regardless. It does seem like this is a difficult time for everyone but he obviously does see something in her that no one else does and loves that. Just try to be there for him as your best friend and maybe try and do just guy things whenever you can. That way you don't have to worry about you not getting along with her and it still keeps your friendship as strong as it ever was. Good luck!

I think he may have liked her even more than he thought he was annoying but never shared that part with others so that others only saw his dislike for her. He's with her for a reason. Ask him if she is pregnant.

You have two options:
1 suck it up and accept the fact that your best friend is going to marry this girl... and accept the girl
or
2 say good bye to your friend.

Sorry to hear this though

Explain to him that you think he is making a mistake. my mom and dad got married at a young age and got divorced less then 9 months after I was born.

Oh god I don't know what he's thinking.
The only thing I'm thinking is maybe he does like her but was acting all macho the whole time complaining cus he knows no one likes her? So he just wanted to pretend he also didn't like her?

OR he's marrying her because no one likes her and he wants to prove to everyone that he's in a good relationship?

Well if she really is such a bitch, then I wish them a happy divorce, when that times comes. I just hope he won't become an alcoholic, before they decide to get separated.
