Why do people lie about the strangest things? Well, to summarize, my bf''s best friend, who also happens to be a good friend of mine, has (had?) the fiancé'' from hell. She''s very materialistic and superficial and can be downright nasty as she has been to me on a number of occasions. I''ve often wondered, as have many, what in the world my friend sees in her because he is the most laid back and nicest guy you''ll ever meet.
So Saturday night a bunch of us met at a bar downtown, planning on going to dinner later on after we''ve had a few drinks. I noticed when they walked in they seemed rather tense but figured they had a fight again (she''s constantly starting them). As soon as he walked in he went straight over to the guys and orders a drink, completely ignoring her. She pretends not to be bothered and walks over to us and asks for someone to get her a drink as she was dying for a glass of wine. I noticed she was wearing her hair up (which she never does) and didn’t'' think anything of it until I saw the flashes from her ear. She had diamond earrings the size of golf balls in her ears! Since I''ve been the target of her bitchiness more times than I can count I decide not to say anything but planned on bringing it up to my friend later on.maybe he won the lottery? At this point all the guys are hanging out and talking in a group while the women are in another. One of her friends points out her earrings (it was so obvious she wanted us to notice them as she constantly fiddled with her ears) so she goes on about how he bought them for her for a pre-wedding gift and how he surprised her and how he''s always buying her expensive stuff blah blah blah. When we get to the restaurant we''re all sitting at the table drinking when one of the guys notices her earrings and tells my friend he''s making all of them look bad for not buying their women such expensive jewelry. My friend looks over and says he didn''t get those for her and then asks her why she is always lying about stuff. She looks pissed and just stares at him. He shrugs and turns away and resumes talking to my bf. She looked murderous and says in a loud voice that if he wasn''t such a cheap bastard she wouldn''t have to lie. She then goes on how he never gets her anything expensive that she has to do everything herself and she''s only trying to make him look good (apparently she thinks her 2+ carat engagement ring is nothing) and on and on and on. He gets really quiet and all of us just stood there not saying a word. She keeps bitching about how cheap he is when he slams his beer down (all of us jump and the rest of the restaurant turns towards us) and tells her in a very low voice to just shut up. This pisses her off even further and she says, and I quote: ''I should have married David as he would have gotten me anything I wanted''...David being her rich ex-boyfriend. My friend just looks at her and tells her that maybe she should, stands up, tells my bf that if he''ll cover his drinks he''ll pay him back later and leaves the bar. She runs after him out the door. We all crowd to the window and see him hailing a cab while she''s grabbing his arm screaming at him and he''s completely ignoring her. A cab comes and he pulls her off of him and tries to get in. She''s sobbing and tries to get in cab with him (we''re all standing at the window with our mouths hanging open). He gets out, pulls her over the sidewalk, says something to her and gets back in the cab and pulls away. She flags down the next cab and leaves. I seriously felt like I was watching a movie and would have felt that she''s getting what she deserved if I didn''t feel so sorry my friend. It was so awful. My bf later said that he was surprised to see him finally stand up to her. Mostly he goes along with whatever she says but maybe he''s realized who he is intending to marry? Nobody has spoken to him although my bf did leave him a message.
My question is why would she lie about where the earrings came from?
