To some degree. I dont get into firey fights that ruin things immediately. I wish I did, it would save a lot of trouble when trying to cut people out of my life.
There was this friend that wanted to be more than friends, I said I didnt want a relationship with him. Lets call him Earl. I was currently trying to become romantic with a different friend, Emma. I didnt specify this because I was a nervous twat and that was my downfall. Earl would constantly text me and he would take "I dont want to talk right now" as me hating him. He would constantly want to know what I was doing, getting upset when I didnt reply, and pressuring me to talk more. He would talk about the most mundane things. I told him that I wasnt interested because i was interested in Emma, he got angry at me for leading him on and I cut off communication. I eventually progressed with Emma, and she became my girlfriend.
Emma was still in contact with Earl for quite awhile. I heard from another friend, Jenny, that Earl would always talk to them about how much they were in love with Emma. I, being Emma's girlfriend and still salty from the previous ways he acted, took offense to this. I was angry that he would talk this way about Emma when I told him I was interested in her. I pressured Emma to cut off communication with him and he threatened suicide. We were in highschool at the time, so we told the counselors and then communications were cut off. After that, Earl would constantly bother Jenny and text her constantly, until she pulled communication on her own accord.
That was the only drama I had in my life so far. I didnt really come out on top in this situation. Earl was also going through a traumatic time, leading more to his suicide threat. It didnt help that I was pressuring my girlfriend, who he vented to a lot, to cut off talking to him. I still dont know what to really feel about this situation. I did feel manipulated by him. I feel like there was a lot of trouble with him. But I also felt like a horrible person when I argued with my girlfriend about him. Earl was a pretty cool dude before he started trying to be romantic. He was a nice friend. I felt like I could've handled it better.
