Skipping the 1st leg

I have a confirmed reservation on GVA->FRA->ORD this Sunday. Would it be possible to skip the first leg and catch the flight out of Frankfurt so I could visit a friend in Germany on Saturday?

I called United's number in Switzerland and was told if I didn't take the first leg the entire reservation would be cancelled. I found this to be hard to believe so would like to check with the gurus on this forum.

Thanks.
