Love triangles are common. What’s not common is getting mad at someone who’s involved in one!

This guy shares how he got angry at his friend for having feelings for someone.

Check out the full story.

AITA for outright invalidating my friend’s feelings?

My friend group has been broken for a while. Long story short: My friend (18M, referred as E) started dating the girl who my other friend (18M, referred as A) had liked before and had been friends with her since childhood.

He explains how things have been in their group…

Now, I’d like to clarify that E only started dating her in April 2025, she had rejected A roughly 6 months before that, meaning that she and A never dated at all, they were just close friends.

This led to the group breaking apart, with some ups and downs were a comeback was possible, but by September (this happened in April) it became clear that the friend group was no more.

This left me and my best friend (18M, referred as P) on a very bad spot, since we weren’t involved in any of this but now felt like we had to pick a side.

This doesn’t sound good…

We chose to remain neutral, but I finally broke that neutrality this last month.

It’s worth noting that whilst E had moved on (he was happy with his gf), A clearly hadn’t. More often than not, when we hopped on Discord, he would sometimes ramble over and over again about the whole situation.

Talking bad about both E and his girlfriend. Me and P tolerated this, since we didn’t want to make him mad, but we were clearly getting tired of A’s monologues about the situation.

Eventually, one of those Discord nights I was done. He was talking about how she had seen one of his friends and told him that her and A were fine, which according to A they weren’t.

It’s going to get worse!

That’s when I told that: respectfully A, It’s been a year since she rejected you and 6 months since they started dating. You still caring is actually extremely pathetic.

A was extremely surprised, since until now I had just agreed with him on everything he would state (me and P didn’t actually agree on everything, but we just didn’t want to argue or make him mad).

He quickly told me how he has moved on, but he just sometimes feels like yapping about it.

I told him (roughly): No you haven’t, I literally don’t care about it.

UH OH…

You have been saying you’ve moved on for almost 4 months and yet you still bring it up.

Your feelings are meaningless to me at this point, you’ve said a lot of bad things about both of them, grow up, stop insulting them and stop talking about them. Period.

Now, I’ll admit my choice of words was quite harsh, and I would change the way I expressed this.

But understand that, from my perspective, it had been 6 months of this happening every 2 or 3 nights on Discord (which we would hop on almost everyday).

I got very tired about it.

That’s a bit MEAN!

A and me had an argument which basically ended up in him saying that in his mind I was no longer his friend the same way I was before.

He removed me from close friends on Instagram and we barely talk just the 2 of us, it always has to have P on it.

Also, according to P, A claims that he can no longer trust me, and that he won’t share any personal issues with me.

AITA?

YIKES! That sounds unpleasant!
