Boyfriend Is Creating So Much False Drama With His Best Friend That I'm Dumping Him r/Relationships

[@kelleyfisher6932]

Story 1. She is completely healthy and reasonable and obviously mature. BF and Mia are ridiculous and will need to grow up-if they ever do.

[@kaykay8855]

They won’t. Bf likes the attention he’s getting from Mia. Mia just wants to assert ‘dominance’ and proves that she’s the only woman that matters.

I quickly thought he wasn't good for OP, and last nail in the coffin was when he said "Aww you're jelly" at things he interpreted as OP being jealous. Urgh, that's just so immature.

[@nadirimyers6643]

Story 2: he’d be dead to me after we got evicted. I’m having a full body reaction of straight anger. This whole story just made me angry. He would not live with me at my mom’s house. Gross gross gross.

[@bhart3321]

She should've dumped him the moment she found out he was on probation. Ladies have got to get over their want of bad boys. They're never gonna fix them & they very rarely change.

[@loganjoh1]

The fact OP wrote all of that and was still entertaining the idea of staying with him was insane I was actually getting frustrated with OP for not just kicking him to the curb after he got them evicted and her getting taken out of her mom’s will due to him like that was her mom basically telling her to drop the dead weight and she still didn’t do it for how long?

[@jr5557]

Exactly like I don't know. It's hard for me to have sympathy when you go through so much bs but you're still climbing in the bed with that man like girl you don't want to leave. You don't want him to do better.

[@jaymel4691]

Yeah, she's been a single mother since the baby came. And I don't understand how she stayed with him for so long or even agreed to have a baby with this loser in the first place! I'd have dumped him long before I found out he was stealing from me and hadn't been paying any bills. Him being such a whiny turd, and not pulling his weight in anything, would've killed any love I had for him. Losing the dead weight would improve her life so much, she'd only have to take care of one baby instead of two! He only wants OP back because he wants her to take care of him again instead of him having to fend for himself. And I suspect he's cheated already and the other women wouldn't put up with his BS. He wants to come back because he thinks OP will. She needs to put her foot down and never let him back, aside from coparenting with him. Ever.

[@Midnight0Mistress]

Omg, yes. I was getting so annoyed with her.

[@thotimusprimeofficial273]

“fight my friend for my love” but you apparently don’t have feelings for her… so what love would op be fighting for?

Yep. This is his confession that he's deliberately trying to hurt OP and expects to be rewarded for it. Do not reward bad behaviour. Stay gone.

[@pippo17173]

All that is missing is the bf screwing his friend behind the scenes.

[@sovereigncrux]

@@pippo17173 Which likely happened (to some extent) but OP has no idea of it yet. He's doing an about face to try to match her maturity to win her back, he's not about to lay all his cards on the table yet. OP is sticking around for months to give him the chance to wear her down.

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

Story 1 - Grown adults who still get off on their partners being jealous and going out of their way to hurt them to make them jealous should stay single until the grave. Zack has serious issues he needs to address, or he’s going to tank every relationship he has. No partner will be able to fix his esteem issues for him or dedicate the amount of time to trying to, and the relationships will never be healthy unless he does work on himself.

[@sovereigncrux]

He's not looking for a healthy relationship, though. He wants a "passionate" relationship full of drama and tension and emotional roller coasters to which he is the master pulling all the strings. High conflict, lots of emotional range, and absolute toxicity. That's why he won't work on himself, this is exactly what he is looking for and tried turning his relationship with Op into. Two to three years of a mature relationship must have been agony for him.

[@clockwork3494]

This exactly. Your partner is not, and shouldn't be a personal therapist for your issues. You can talk about things, sure, but once you start dragging them down with you, you've likely killed the relationship. It baffles me how some people still see this as normal, yikes.

[@trillionbones89]

"why aren't you fighting for me?" "You're not worth it" is the only true answer to that loaded question.

[@CalamityM]

OP in the first story paid the full rent: boyfriend needs to leave, not her.

[@cami1700]

I would be trying to kick him out, but given that english isn't OP's 1st language, and that she called him a "pajero de mierda", she's probably from a latin american country, and lease might work out differently if this pos excuse of a ex-boyfriend of hers had contributed in a way. Or if she cannot kick him out without causing more drama. So yeah, sucks that she can't kick him out after she spent a significant amount on rent.

Sex happens and kids result. Do you expect everyone to die a virgin? That's not realistic.

[@jeffdinvell]

It could’ve been an accident. Or, OP thought she/they were ready, seeing as they both had jobs at the time. Some women really want to be moms, even if the time isn’t perfect

[@brianaschmidt910]

Op says it in the story. Deadbeat was draining all the money on women, booze, and fast food. His and hers. Mom can likely afford to take care of baby now that deadbeat is gone

[@theresaschuebel5151]

At the time they both had jobs and making good money. She wasn't smart to ket him have control of her debit card. I would have out it in a safe or something. Hell I would have a separate account and hide the card in said safe and not give him the code. I would also have a mobile app of my bank to keep tabs on my account hourly if I had to. But then my husband never would have used my money that way.

Fighting for a relationship can only be successful if you're fighting WITH your partner FOR the relationship, not if you're fighting alone against someone/something.

[@chickensandwich8808]

As someone else who is "cold" regarding drama. The moment BF said "fight for me" nah... anyone who would make you jump through hoops like that is clearly insecure themselves and needs to orchestrate validation olympics. I believe it was ankther story months ago but one OP said "he can piss up a rope and suck on the wet end" yeah... the BF can do that here.

Story 2: I really hope OP reread the divorce paperwork. Assuming he didn’t screw with them, I hope she maintains good relations with the gf since we all know she’ll be the one parenting. I also wouldn’t put it past him to leave their place “for pickups” and return complaining about op withholding the kid so he blew of steam at a bar.

[@Wildpeonies23]

Story2. OP is a single married mother. Another broken joke with the man still living there.

[@rsmith6425]

"Its great that your whole family thinks Im so terrible" Well if you dont want people to think you are terrible stop being so god damn terrible man! Come on! Shit people being upset that people realize the truth always astounds me. So yes! Leave, get child support (though I doubt he will pay), raise your baby to expect better in their future partner, succeed in life

[@bhart3321]

I'm sorry OP 2, I just can't feel sorry for her at all. He was an ex-con loser when she met him, stuck around for 3 yrs, married the guy, had a kid with the guy & is shocked he's not a good person. If there weren't just SO MANY of these types of women out here today I could muster some sympathy but this same story just repeats over & over & over. These young women do nothing to improve themselves or pick better mates. This is why there's so many single moms & why it's only getting worse. Ladies for the love of God stop ruining yourselves by constantly chasing the bad boys. Have some self-respect & do better, if not for yourself then at least for kids. Both men & women need to stop simping & be better. If all your exes are "trash" then it's a skill issue on your part. You're attracted to crappy people cuz of some trauma. Get therapy, heal yourselves & be better.

[@bhart3321]

Yeah your mom is great judge of character as evidenced by the two divorces. No wonder OP picked a man like she did she only had her mother to model it off of. Single mothers raise single mothers, the cycle of generational trauma is a perpetual motion machine.

[@pinkgoblin5815]

2nd Story: How in the world did OP get that far with that loser? I feel bad for the child that had to suffer through this. An innocent baby having to be around that crap. Listen people, even an ounce of self esteem could save you from being in a nightmare like this. Shockingly the first red flag wasn’t the fact he’s on probation. I have zero sympathy for anyone who willingly puts themselves into this type of situation. Like ok, she’s young, but old enough to know better.

[@rubymeaddle]

I'm petty enough to get a male friend to do the same things with

[@OuchingTigerLimpingDragon]

Damn, Mia really got me with that faux-update! 😅 Also, what the boyfriend is describing is codependency. Just learned that from my therapist, and the boy gave an almost word perfect definition.

[@Kinsfire]

In the second story, I like the reference to dipping her toe into thte dating world, then pulling it back out and completely drying it off. That was a REALLY nice turn of phrase there.

[@baileymae4547]

Good evening markee!!! Its good to catch these early now that i work overnights. How have you been?

[@SuperYoshi29]

Story 2: how the eff do they have money for therapy?! This is so dumb and I’m not even through the whole story

[@coreymartin6486]

I had a girl best friend when I was engaged.....and Zach is a total jerk. Ain't no way would I have done or allowed stuff like that with my best friend. And yes, I essentially ended the friendship later on.

[@cpaul9269]

S1 - @2:25 - RUN.

[@natashamwangi4890]

I was judging story 2 harshly till i saw she's 23. Shouldn't have been married to begin with. Thats her mother's fault

[@Twilight.Knight]

I look up & suddenly see Markee in... in a pirate costume wat 😂😂😂

[@triciad4100]

That's Captain PrawnOnTheBarbie-rossa to you
