What bullet did you NOT dodge?

About 8 years ago I was in a pretty great spot where I was kinda casually dating one girl and had a FWB scenario with another. The casual dating one was a really nice girl I would have loved to get more serious with but she was younger and kinda long distance. The FWB was a bit of a bitch but absolutely beautiful and had the kind of personality where I honestly thought she might die without me. She would constantly do petty annoying things but i could never resist her so I constantly forgave them.

The two girls knew about each other because I thought it would be better to be up front and honest and they of course were not fans of each other. The FWB would taunt her on social media and managed to get her number once, and started threatening her there too, casual dating girl blocked her on everything.

Everything was great for a few months until one night I was in bed with FWB, I got a text from casual girl. Typically I would have ignored my phone but FWB was always pissing me off by paying more attention to her phone than to me, so I thought I'd annoy her a bit as soon as I heard it vibrate I asked her to hand me my phone. Casual girl just said hey, I figured I would respond later. FWB asks what it was, I said just that, she puts the phone down for me. At least that's what I thought she did.

I took her home (to this day, she still doesn't drive) and my phone is going nuts. As soon as I get back I realize what happened- FWB took a pic of us together in bed and sent it to the other girl with one of the most horrifying death threats I've ever seen. Casual girl tells me to just leave her alone. I get online to confront FWB and the first thing I see is on facebook, she's listed herself as in a relationship. I flip out and call her to ask why and tell her I didn't agree to that. Turns out I didn't need to, she had a boyfriend, who she continued to date and cheat on for another 6 months.

Casual girl never talked to me again, and I don't blame her- frankly I my trying to keep things casual despite either of our feelings meant I treated her like shit way too often. Wish I could apologize.

Ended up forgiving FWB about 2 year later and ended up regretting it that time too. Now I don't talk to her but still get messages every few months.
