Reply to comment by shakesula9 in TIFU by introducing my best friend to my girlfriend by myir4

OP is also a loser. If you just accept all the BS like that you're simping. Every sane person would've went for a confrontation much earlier and realize they're both batshit crazy. If you gettin played you letting yourself be played. It's that simple. Always choose yourself over others first.

I think your intention is in the right place but with the context of the story your grand generalizations are causing the downvotes. Calling him crazy and implying he’s insane is not correct. He’s clearly an inexperienced young man that was dealing with an expert narcissist and manipulator, likely with her own issues she takes out on other people. My first girlfriend in high school was very much like this; too many stories to count. Many of us can look back and kick ourselves for the times we allowed ourselves to be used and/or abused. Hopefully OP is getting the help he needs because the suicide attempts and self harm over a breakup point to bigger issues.

Not to mention the driving thing, which is utterly insane.

"All the time I hoped we would crash and all die. For some inexplicable reason, we actually survived the trip even though I did come close to slipping off the road on more than one occasion. I can still remember them both. The fear in their eyes and how they wouldn't dare to say a thing. How they'd cling to the seats and the door. "

This is just so so so messed up, especially how very few people seem to take issue with it in the comments. He explicitly says he was hoping they'd all die; he was ready to kill two people over an affair. "Bigger issues" seems like an understatement the size of Montana (which, from what I know of US geography, isn't small)

Well killing them both probably wouldn't have been that bad but he was also endangering other people on the road.

People like you are the reason why Suicide rates are so high amongst men! Never taking a man’s feelings seriously and telling them to “man up”… homie got betrayed by not only the girl he loved and formed a bond with but by his best friend as well! That’s rough
