    I was working for my best friend of 30 years and his business partner. Over the years I begin a relationship with the ex of said business partner. It’s all very new and we don’t know what it will do but we want to find out

    Her ex, the other business partner is a borderline narcissist with psychopathic tendencies so we want to be careful with him… For one, I’m assuming fairly this will cost me my job if it comes out, worth it.

    Either way, I want my best friend to hear it from me, not from the psycho, and in that week I also receive info that my best friend will be dumped and replaced with, well, me.

    I have no interest in the position, I also don’t want to see my best friend for 30 years ruined, so I so the right thing.

    Be a good boy, but not too good.

    I tell him that we’re starting something and that his job and income are about to go south, so that he can prepare maybe save his job.

    He takes exactly 3 minutes to tell my relationship to his business partner which immediately starts a shit storm with more murder threats than I care to remember. He still has his cosy position.

    Took the guy a good 3 minutes to dump 30 years of friendship with the garbage. He immediately blocked me everywhere, never said a word on why.

    Be a good boy, but not too good. If your best friend is about to drown, I guess let him.

      No good deed goes unpunished. Also, never provide any info that can be weaponized, like starting up with that guy’s ex.
