A 19-year-old woman has a best friend who is a year older than she is. She’s been close to her best friend since they were both back in middle school together, and some of their silly jokes that they developed back then have followed them throughout the years.

Their jokes are really silly and not that mature, but that’s just a hallmark of their friendship.

An example of one of their running jokes is her and her best friend faking being in love. She has said to her best friend things along the lines of, “If I win you that carnival prize would you finally date me?”

And her friend would turn to the guy that she has been dating to say, “I just have a history with her you understand, right?”

Well, her best friend has previously dated girls before ending up with her boyfriend, though she never has dated anything but men.

Although everyone knows about her best friend’s dating history, she assumed everyone also knew that they were just joking with one another about being in love.

Not so long ago, her best friend’s boyfriend pulled her aside and asked that she quit it with all of the inside jokes.

She told her best friend’s boyfriend that there is no way she would be willing to do that, and he really does not deserve a say in how she interacts with her best friend.

“He thought my actions poisoned his relationship (and any other one she had or will have) because it’s disrespectful to act that way towards someone else (even as a joke), while in a relationship,” she explained.

She mentioned that if her best friend wanted her to cut it out she would be happy to do so, though she didn’t care at all what he had to say.

Unfortunately, it seems her insensitivity towards her best friend’s boyfriend and his discomfort caused her best friend to get dumped.

“This morning I woke up to her telling me that he broke up with her and cut all forms of contact,” she said. “I haven’t told anyone about our conversation, but I’m almost positive I am the reason.”

As she reflected on this information, she admitted that her best friend has had a ton of issues getting a relationship with a guy to last at all.

She’s beginning to think that she is the reason her best friend can’t find love and happiness. Do you think her behavior was the only thing that “directly” influenced her best friend’s now ex-boyfriend, or do you think there’s more to the story on why her best friend got dumped?
