Am I in the Wrong?

“Am I in the wrong for hating on my ex-girlfriend’s new partner who basically stole my life?”

My friend (M 3 weeks) is one of the worst people I have ever come to know. I know you see me calling him my “friend”, but that is because he sees me as one. He is blind to all of the things he has done to me. I am sharing this to you all as a rant, as a post I can get off my shoulder. Maybe you guys can let me know if I am in the wrong or not, but I really need to show you what he has done to me.

He may be young, but he is very mature for his age (and I say this in a bad way). He has stolen my woman, the woman I had been in a relationship with for a long time. We were past many stages in our lives, we were even living together. The only thing left was for me to whip out the shiny rock and get down on one knee. 

But that thing, not even reaching to an inch, stole her with his hypnotizing powers. He is a homewrecker. He isn’t even all that. He is selfish and entitled. The night I broke up with my girlfriend, I caught her and that basic grain having dinner together!

I have been working long nights just to satisfy my girlfriend and her needs. I mean, New York City is very expensive and an apartment as big as ours costs a lot of money. But, I see this ungrateful woman and my “friend” having dinner together? My friend has a job! A good and stable one, too. He could have all the honey he ever wanted! But, no, the only honey he wanted was my honey bear. 

That night, I left my girlfriend. I couldn’t believe she would cheat on me with someone like him. I already voiced my thoughts about that thimble, but she would always take his side and give him the benefit of the doubt. I did for the longest time, but that was the night I saw the dark side of my “friend”. I know he has been glazing himself to her and making me look like the villain. I found out after a month that he and now my ex-girlfriend were dating, and they had a firm/store together. 

I don't know what she sees in him. She says he was struggling and fighting for his people’s rights, but that isn’t even that major. My friend has easy transportation, no traffic, and can get away with anything. Nobody sees it, but he is a toxic manipulator.

You may be thinking I should say something good about him, and I will. When I first met him, I had never met someone like him. My ex always called him special.

I’m just playing. There is nothing special about him. He is one of the most basic people I have ever met. The only thing special about him is his mental ability of wearing the same, monotonous thing every day. He always wears this black and yellow sweater, and I’m like “Can’t you wear something else?” Like with his job, he could buy a lot of things and better himself, but I guess he likes being the basic guy he is and has always been.

Now, after realizing and writing all of this rant, I don’t know why I even started writing this in the first place. I have just sunk into the fact that I am better than my friend and literally everyone else. I am cool, I am smart, and I do look good (these are just my self-affirmations, you guys should try it sometime).”

We were able to find this response and, based on context clues, it seems to be the direct response to the Reddit post above:

“Am I in the wrong for having a woman fall in love with me when all I was doing was advocating for my people's rights for the good of the global community? 

My girlfriend’s ex-partner (M26) went on here to rant about how I (M 3 weeks) stole his woman, but this is nonsense in its entirety. My life purpose was to stand up for my people and support their needs, as one should do in a working community. I want to take this time to address all the points my “friend” brought up and address them to prove that I am not in the wrong. 

Not to fluff my own fuzz, but I am pretty high-ranking in my community as a resident pollen jock, one of the highest and most life-threatening positions. This incident that my poorly affected friend describes is when I befriended someone outside of my community out of curiosity, surprisingly right when her now ex-partner attempted to murder me for the first of many times. Anger issues much? 

With no intentions of attaching myself to that woman, he continued to harass me whenever I would be over at their, still shared, housing. This event occurred when I was just there to discuss business with her as I was in the middle of a court case against the production company called Humanity for stealing the livelihood of me and my people. She was always there for me in my highs and lows and was always supporting my ideas, no matter how insane my people or her people thought I was. This, I supposed infuriated the big guy because he could not leave me alone: during meetings, dinners, simple walks, etc. Fortunately, when she realized that her partner was being an insecure and clingy bug in her life, her words not mine, she let him leave and this was the sign to me that they had officially separated. I stole nothing, and I am the victim here. Even during their relationship, I was always a topic of debate between the two with him always attempting to murder me in some way. First a thick cover of Italian Vogue and then a flamethrower? I think he needs professional help and tennis lessons; he could kill someone out here with his aim (specifically me). The heart wants what it wants. It is not my fault that I was able to fulfill her emotional needs and he needs to understand that and get a life. 

As for sensibility, I have decided to take the high road with my loving girlfriend and our very successful law firm/flower store.”
