Storytime broskies.

Back when I was like 18 I had a really close female friend. She had a bf at the time and I had a gf, but we were still super close, almost like we were dating, though we were never physical. We worked at a movie theater so we'd watch movie together on our days off. She'd pick me up from parties when I was too wasted to drive. She got into huge fights with her BF all the time and call me crying etc.
NGL I was totally in love with her, and we always talked about how we'd be an awesome couple.

Fast forward a few years, we were still super close. She was still with the same guy, but I had broken up with my GF ('cause she was a god damned psycho). I had met and hung out with her bf several times. He was a pretty alright dude and we were chill with each other. This chick was a super emotional Puerto Rican chick, and I know damn well the fact that they fought all the time wasn't always his fault =p. They were just the type who'd fight, break up for 24 hours, get back together.

One night she calls me hysterical, crying about how they just broke up (like the 4th time they had done so), but this time it was "For real". She asked to come over because her moms house was like an hour away but I was 10 minutes away. She talks to me about the fight, does the whole crying on my shoulder routine. I give her the whole "you'll be back together by tomorrow" bit and calm her down. I offer her my bed and tell her I'll sleep on the couch. 5 minutes later i'm laying down on my couch and she comes out and says "You don't have to sleep on the couch...."

I panicked. Beta/simp/cuck move I know, but I told her I'd be alright. Truth was I was fuking terrified we'd smash and she'd end up getting back with her BF. That chit would have wrecked me. Realistically tho she probably would have been mine after that. It's what I wanted, and she wouldn't have come if it wasn't what she wanted.

She did eventually get back with her BF. They've been married for like 17 years now and have 2 kids.

3 months after that night at my house I got fired from my job and her BF actually offered me a job working with him. I met my wife at that job. Been with her 16 years and we have a kid of our own. I fuking love our life together and am happy AF.

But I still always think of that night and how drastically different my life could be right now. Between their kids and mine, that's like 3 whole people who wouldn't exist had I gone into the room that night. Always kinda blows my mind.

Funny you mentioned cause,

i know your feels bro. there was this one chick.... she was the best, man

Didn't read but a car crash changed my life

Me(simp loser good boy) driving from work after putting air in my tire to get my tired replaced at the dealership even tho i was going to go to auto zone but my chick at the time talked me out of it.
Thinking about my future and donating money to charity lol
At traffic light and someone was exiting the gas station so i made sure to not block the exit
BMW Tyrone was far behind me but was on his phone and didn't see my car
Almost totaled my 1st and brand new car ,front and back, car was undrivable
Had crazy whiplash
Went to hospital and nurse looked at me like i was a loser and said nothing was wrong with me. wouldn't even let me get off work
must had a brain injury because i turned into the sociopath playa i am today

Damn you legit have brain issues?

Yeah i fuked my whole life up and had to restart and some how i am OK now.

Truth is you didn't fk her that night, but you've made plenty of mistakes that have altered the course of your life anyway. You just don't know how good (or bad) you could have had it.

Lesson learned is that you should only ever act out of love and yeah - sounds beta if you're the 'alpha' type but it's how it is.

For example there's all these girls i could use to bust my nut but i don't love any of them - if i was stupid i'd be an alpha and just fk em to feel good about my self, and then be surprised when i end up friends with some degenerate d*ckheads who use people for their own pleasure and don't about how their actions will affect those around them, AND then be surprsed my life is shyt.
