I’ve asked a couple people to move this from the grays (something I can’t do) so it might be seen by more people. I hope it eventually moves up the comments thread.

I can’t imagine the pain this article must have caused you. You are correct there are two sides to what happened. You certainly did not deserve to be called cuntface or have your personal struggles put out for public review and comment by people who do not know you.

You’re so small.

passive-aggressive both.

Yeah. I’m mind boggled by the people here who are so into the OP’s story.

So much ugliness and pettiness in this article and these comments. :/

I’m curious what triggered her meltdown with your husband. I think that’s an important part of the story- not to blame him, but to better understand something about her psychology. We do know that people with bipolar disorder and substance addiction are not necessarily ever “well” even when medicated and sober.

“me, a terminally depressed and anxious incest survivor.” ugh, define yourself as something other than your victimization and maybe you’ll find some real friends.

She’s borderine but how you do you describe someone who has to write a whole article about this? Asshole. You’re a self-righteous asshole.

When i read the text message sent by the friend, i definitely was shocked. AND, It made me want to know just exactly what this disagreement was about. The article is pretty vague in that respect, and leaves the reader wondering just the husband said to this woman to make her respond with such venom. In the author’s…

There was a way to write this that didn’t so thoroughly dump on your ex-friend and humblebrag about your response. If the point of this post was to help people navigate similar situations, that was lost by the tone, which is set by the totally gratuitous slur in the title.

For the average person splitting with a friend, a public takedown of this sort would be seen as classless and petty. For someone who claims to be devoted to “spirituality” and “mental positivity” doing it to a person with deep mental health struggles, it is self righteous and cruel.

God, that friend sounds awful. She was terrible, and you or your husband did nothing wrong, as far as I can tell from the article written by you. It’s not like you did anything mean to her, like wrote an article about what a cuntface she is so thousands of people can know.

Well, from the outside looking in, the husband does sound like an anchor...

I too, have a breaking up with a good friend story but rather than wanting to share it (which I have many times!) after I read this article, all I want to know is... what the hell went down here!?

My point still stands. You may be right but we’ll never know because the author put her friend on blast but not once mentioned what her husband said during the argument. Keep in mind her friend lashed out and then severed the friendship- she didn’t say around to whip up more drama, drag her and her husband through the…

This phrasing seemed like a low-blow. I’m sure all sides are hurt, but what did the husband say to get the friend THIS upset? A glaring omission, IMO.

Yeah, and what did the husband say to make her lash out like that? Has the husband been making slight digs at the friend for years? We’ll never know. After reading this I can’t blame a spiritual person for not wanting to be around somebody who will write about my personal life for clicks.

Hate to break it to you, but you’re both shitty friends. This article is nothing more than revenge trying to disguise itself as a ‘thoughtful meditation’ on the end of the friendship. As you said, there’s a part of you (I’d suspect a large part) that is upset that you were the dumpee. So you took to the internet to…

That comment will likely sting your husband for years.
