Then whoever was exposed as having rigged it for her would become the next great internet meme , supplanting Bad Luck Brian as the new gold standard for failure . <| sep |> Would love to see that from MSLs point of view , he must have had a real brainfart . <| sep |> When you promised you ' d never leave her , was she trying to get that from you in some way ? I ask because someone in my life did that to me to trap me , and it worked for a while . They knew I ' d try to comfort them and give them reassurance that I wouldn ' t leave . After that , their unpleasant side really kicked in . They used that against me whenever I ever said or did anything that was out of line to them , like ever criticizing them . They also used the You ' re the only person I want to talk to to guilt me into staying too . Then they would just throw more at me . It ' s a good thing that you ' re caring enough to be there for them . But please don ' t think that you have to stay no matter what they throw at you . I totally understand how you ' re feeling right now . But you need to understand something . You deserve better than to be treated that way . You ' re going into things with good intentions and you ' re being attacked for it . I would say have a talk with her , but it sounds like that would only result in her getting more defensive . If you don ' t think you have it in you to go no contact yet , Which I totally understand , it can be really difficult maybe low contact for now would be best . And if she gets more aggressive towards you when you do that , might be time to stop the friendship . There ' s also the possibility that she changes her tune to lure you back in , then starts being her old self again . I ' m really sorry you ' re in this situation . But remember , you deserve better . You ' ve tried what you can to help her . If she won ' t take the advice , at least you can say you tried .
