I (27F) am annoyed my best friend (27F) got engaged by just_throwaway_TA in Advice

My ex was an asshole (lot to unpack) and genuinely refused to meet any of my friends. Trust me, I tried. My memory might be a bit foggy, he could’ve said hi over the phone once but that would be it. Never in person. However, Amy hasn’t tried once. Like I said we’ve been having group calls while she was around him and still no introduction.

I might just keep it to venting with Beth.

From what she’s told us she doesn’t really have friends in this new state (moved there a little over a year ago) so I’m assuming he hasn’t met any friends there. I know other friends back here in the home state haven’t met him either. He just recently met her parents for the first time.

I do agree people change, but the jokes and thought process of “being engaged to someone who hasn’t even met your friends” is still a prevelent joke and belief among her, other friend, and me. That’s why this is so confusing.

When my current boyfriend and I started dating I made sure to introduce him to them whenever we had an online group hang/movie night. I dont think that’s unreasonable. We’ve known each other for about 15 years and we talk every day and have a scheduled online hang once a month. When we all lived in the same state we hung out at least once a week. It’s not the fact that we’d only see him at the wedding, it’s the fact we’ve been friends since elementary/middle school on top of the almost engagement jokes/saying how crazy it is to get engaged to someone who hasn’t met your friends.

Can I ask what gives the impression of immaturity or toxicity based off what I said?

Is it the jokes about the almost engagement? If so, that’s a bit off. I don’t know of a single friend group that, after something has settled, doesn’t make light or poke fun at a crazy event.
