Situationships happen. But often, like in this post, one person wants more. And then the situationship hits the fan.

In this story, there’s an added problem: it’s a situationship triangle, and one person in the triangle doesn’t even want to be a part of it.

Let’s see how this all shakes out.

AITA for not caring that my friend blames me for her failed situationship when I didn’t do anything?

I (22F) became friends with P (24M) and Q (22F) at the start of our university year.

P and Q hit it off quickly and started a situationship, but they kept it secret from everyone — including me and their other friends/housemates.

Around the same time, I was getting close to P as friends. Nothing romantic, just good conversations and bonding.

That’s what OP thinks. But what does P think?

Eventually, P started sharing very personal things with me, and I started getting the feeling he might have a crush on me.

I made it clear I had a boyfriend, and from then on, we drifted a bit.

Later on, P and I got close again, and I found out it was because he and Q had ended things.

Will their friendship work out this time?

A few weeks later, I found out why: Q had cheated on P, but also, during their situationship, P would routinely compare me to Q — saying I had a better body, was hotter, and had a better personality.

Obviously, Q was really hurt by that.

How will OP respond to this news?

At some point after their breakup, P confessed he was still in love with me.

I told him again that I have a boyfriend and nothing could or would ever happen.

Now, Q blames me for their relationship ending and hates me because P liked me the whole time.

I’ve tried to stay out of it, and I never encouraged anything with P. I’ve never cheated or even flirted.

OP wonders if she did anything wrong.

But I honestly don’t care anymore that Q is upset with me — I didn’t do anything wrong.

AITA for not caring that Q blames me, even though I wasn’t involved and have a boyfriend?

OP didn’t cheat but still came between P and Q… what is one supposed to do?

Let’s investigate the comments on Reddit.

This person says, forget Harry and Sally…

Someone else says that Q is the issue.

Another person says, NTA but with a caveat.

Someone else says, take some space.

Another person says NTA but also YTA.

This is not what it means to mind your P’s and Q’s.
