Women Share Their Encounters With the “Nice Guys” Who Turned Out to Be Creeps

Unrequited love is a tough pill to swallow, but transforming friendship into a high-stakes ultimatum is a surefire way to lose. Confessing feelings is one thing; however, threatening others for merely existing in your orbit is another, the kind of drama that not even ten years of friendship can absorb.

It’s a sad twist when a decade of memories is at risk over a moment of misguided passion. Mature handling of such delicate situations is rare, and when it’s absent, it can unravel the very fabric of a once-solid bond. It’s a poignant reminder that the line between friend and more-than-friend is one best crossed with caution and mutual understanding.
