First of all, this is jn highschool and isn’t anything major, but I’m still not sure if I’m at fault and would like some outside opinions.

A couple months ago 2 of my friends (call them John and Lisa) started dating and at the time John was one of my best friends. Lisa an I also got along well but I was much closer with John. During their relationship I noticed that the way they behaved towards eachother didnt’t change. They seemed like their relationship wasn’t going anywhere. At the time i didn’t really care and was only concerned about the fact that if they were to break up, I would have 2 friends who will be very awkward when together. 

After about 2-3 weeks me and Lisa started talking more. We talked about all sorts of things and sometimes about their relationship. Now I am the kind of person who calls people honey and send hearts (even to my male friends) to make jokes and to tease people. 

So I also did this to Lisa, thinking John would understand as I always do this, especially to him. But after a while Lisa tells me John had been complaining that we sending each other such affectionate texts, while they were in a relationship. Now, they had been together for about a month and Lisa had told me she was beginning to get fed up with how John never did anything with the relationship. They were basically just friends but in a relationship on paper. 

Me and Lisa had become good friends but then one time told me she wanted to break up with John because she thought it wasn’t going to lead anywhere and they had become pretty fed up with each other. I gave her some advice and told her she should take time to think about it and then decide if she was going to break up. I also told her she should do it in person because I knew John’s previous relationship ended badly because someone broke up with him with a quick text.

I had a talk with John the next day and he told me he still wants to stay with her. I also asked him if I should stop texting his girlfriend, but he told me “No ofcourse not, I would be a bad friend and a bad boyfriend if I forbade you talking with my girlfriend”. I was relieved but that didn’t last long.

After a few days John tells me that he broke up with Lisa and that I should go get her. I asked him what he meant by that and he told me I knew what he meant. So, of course I got pretty mad at him because I trusted what he said, and told him that I hadn’t any intentions of going after his gf.
I told him i was sorry they broke up and ended the conversation.

A few minutes later Lisa told me they broke up, and that it apparently didn’t go well because she got pretty mad at John when he texted her to break up, exactly the way I told her his previous relationship ended. She demanded he at least to be called and after an awkward phone call, they had broken up.

Anyway, after this me an Lisa kept being good friends but me an John started to drift apart. Exactly what I had feared.

Yesterday someone told me I had fucked John over by trying to steal his gf, which gave me the reason to make this post. 


AITA and did I cause their breakup?




potentially causing 2 of my close friends to break up
