The story

My friend and I have known each other for a few years now and I have known her boyfriend before they started dating and that was when we hanged out with mutual friends. I noticed after they settled down together that she is very open sexually towards me and even makes her boyfriend give an opinion. Her boyfriend gets super uncomfortable and its obvious she wants him to say something so of course he says something to please her. its weird because whether or not he responds she tends to blow up the situation or completely takes things out of context. I don't know if I'm overreacting and I know I'm missing a lot of context.

yo, that situation sounds like a mess tbh. it's bizarre she'd put her bf in such awkward positions just to get a reaction. feels like she's using you as some kinda pawn for drama 🤔 maybe just steer clear unless you're comfortable being part of that circus. no one needs unnecessary stress, ya know?

sounds like she's playing some weird mind games, man. maybe she gets a kick out of pushing people's buttons or something. i'd say just keep your distance from that drama if you can, it's not worth getting tangled up in their issues. could end up backfiring on ya, been there myself and it ain't pretty.

It sounds like a perplexing dynamic between your friend and her boyfriend!!! It's crucial to recognize how manipulative behavior can subtly jeopardize a relationship's integrity. I empathize with the awkward situations you're being drawn into, but perhaps there's room for constructive communication? Share how you feel privately with your friend—being transparent can sometimes open doors for honest discussions that encourage healthier boundaries. Remember that protecting your own mental well-being is paramount; don't hesitate to step back if needed!
