Definition: Given a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation, generate a suitable title that describes the main event/root cause of the situation. Imagine that the given text is a social media post, and you have to write the title of the post, so the users can decide to read the main text or not.
Input: Please bare with me, this is a very long story.

So, for the sake of keeping things less confusing, there are 4 people involved in this, these are their fake names I will be using for this post. 

- Myself, and I will be writing in the first person.
- Arthur, a friend I met my first year of college.
- Brandon, a friend who I met at the same time as Arthur and ended up being my roommate.
- Xylophone, a person who eventually moved in with us.


Now, for the story leading up to my Blowup.

- 1.) Arthur and Brandon and Myself met our freshman year of college, and spent pretty much all of our time as a group. We were definitely “best friends”. 

- 2.) We lived together for 2 years, and at the start of that 3rd year the random roommate dropped out of college.

And this is when XYLOPHONE enters.

- 1.) XYLOPHONE takes the random guy’s spot at our apartment. ALL 4 of us decide to sign up for a vacation, a week long cruise ship, at the end of our 3rd year, which is when shit went bad. 

- 3.) On top of this, our relationship was beginning to become strained as XYLOPHONE and I began to get in constant fights over meaningless things like chores.

-4.) THE BIG PROBLEM arose when Arthur and I drunkenly had sex one night, where he asked me to penetrate him. (I’m gay, he’s ostensibly straight, we had sex a few months before the cruise.) This was consensual start to finish.

- 5.) Arthur begins to feel extremely awkward from then on, refusing to be in the same room with me or even talking to me. 

Now, we finally get to the vacation. TLDR - Everybody spends time with Arthur or a hookup, and I’m left alone for most of the cruise. The vacation ends, and it’s my job to drive everyone back to our college. It’s about an 8 hour drive.

On the drive there, I’m silent and visibly pissed off , and about hour 2 into the drive someone makes a rude comment, I proceed to start yelling. Let me be clear, I never mentioned the sexual encounter Arthur and I had, but lots of cruel shit was said. Arthur screamed at me and we were all silent after.

One Friday morning, I get a call from our apartment’s leasing office (we had moved off campus when XYLOPHONE joined us) and apparently Xylophone and Brandon were both attempting to break our shared lease. They refused to pay any more rent and were moving out THAT DAY. My family hires an attorney, and the two of them move out but are forced by Small Claims court to pay their shares of the rent even if they aren’t living there.

I spent the year living alone in that apartment, and to this day I have not spoken to any of the three. Brandon dropped out of college for unrelated reasons, and moved away anyways. 

AITA for taking out my anger on them and ruining our friend group? I keep dwelling on this every now and then and it sucks. I’d really love an outside opinion.

**TL;DR** - We are all friends in college, we all start smoking weed an unhealthy amount, I have sex with one of those friends while fucked up, we all fight.
