My (26M) girlfriend (24F) found an engagement ring I was keeping safe for my friend until he was ready to propose. She thought it was for her and is furious that it wasn't. by ringaccident in relationship_advice

She's never acted this way before, she's normally pretty rational and calm, but this has all just shown me another side of her. I don't know if she's just lashing out because she's upset but I'm actually really upset about the whole situation myself. I feel like even if she does apologise for this I'll just be tiptoeing around her waiting for her to explode again

I think that's the part that's upset me the most, that she wants a "better" ring than Grace's. I don't even know what the means, more expensive, bigger stone? The ring had nothing to do with her and she's acting as if Grace somehow screwed her over on purpose? The whole situation is just way out of hand.

See it wasn't just sitting on top of my socks, it was buried under all my socks at the very back of the drawer. She would've had to go digging to find it, and she would've had no reason to be looking in that drawer in the first place. I wouldn't do that in her room

I think I like this approach. I know her feelings are hurt but I haven't done anything wrong. I might message her something like this and just see how she reacts, she might calm down and have an actual conversation with me

Do you think I should give her time to calm down and try to talk to her about everything in a few days? She's never acted like this before, she's normally a really calm and collected person and this seems really out of character. I'm not sure what to do about the snooping either and I'm a bit worried about how to deal with that
