So this happened a couple of years back and me (19 F) had this friend in college let's call her Jess (19 F). I had met Jess on the first day of uni and we became friends since then, sat together and were a part of the same friend group and stuff. Back then I was a person who had several friend circles but my childhood friend group was my main one. So this guy, let's call him Michael (20 M) was one of my childhood friends, we literally grew up together in the same neighborhood. Growing up all his siblings and him and I we were all very close friends but when puberty hit things changed a little between me and him. It was something which started as just a funny thing but eventually resulted in him losing his virginity to me. We were always very casual about it because both of us had no romantic feelings for each other and went on to date other people while still being good friends (all our other friends knew about this btw)

Fastforward to me entering uni and meeting Jess who I eventually got so close to that I introduced her to my main friend group. Yep, they started talking to each other and within a month start dating. Things were going well initially and we all were happy for them. I was very supportive and very excited as well that two of my close friends were happy and dating but things went south very quickly. Turns out they weren't cut out for each other and were just not a compatible couple. Things became very toxic between the two of them very quickly and as expected I got caught in the crossfire. Now I tried helping them as much as I could as a third person whenever they asked me for help (remember this) but it was clear that they had severe trust issues and toxicity brewing between them. He was too non chalant and just a bad boyfriend all over and she was a pathological liar.

Things got personal with me when she out of nowhere started bitching about me behind my back to our other friends that I was a concern in her relationship. When I initially got to know I did not react because I understood where she came from and decided to distance myself from them both so that they could work things out. But clearly I wasn't the problem in their silly relationship. Because even though I was very much out of the picture she kept on spewing bullshit in my name that "Oh she's a bf stealing whore". Michael also just to get on her good side started telling people how I was the problem as well and they both made each other block me. But Micheal would later confess that he had to do this in order to salvage the relationship but still wanted to be friends with me without her knowing. This pissed me off because why would they accuse me of doing something i absolutely wasn't and telling everyone around us a false narrative. So I decided well if Jess was going to badmouth me anyway then why not give her an actual real shock.

I contacted Micheal after being distant for months and just said I wanted to talk about what's going on. I lend him a ear and did the entire I'm here for you thing. Now I knew what I was doing and yes that's manipulative of me but Micheal gave in a little too quickly. He said he wanted to come meet me and that's when I knew where this was going. We met and had sex, I was very out of it and honestly felt disgusting after that but I was so angry at both of them that I decided to go with it and ruin their so called relationship. It worked. I went ahead and firstly told all of our friends what had happened and admitted to my side of fucking up with honesty, they all were shocked but were more mad at Michael for cheating after pretending for months that he was the best bf ever and that Jess and I were crazy. I called Michael and told him he had one day to tell Jess everything or I would, he begged me not to, got mad at me and went through like 5 stages of grief but did not tell Jess so then I straight up told Jess everything and also confessed how I did it intentionally to hurt her as she hurt me by bitching behind my back. I also did apologised because it was fucked up no matter what and told her to breakup with him because their relationship is nothing but a lie.This incident happened during valentine's week as well so more ouch for Jess.

It was a complete mess. Michael lost his shit and called called me a bitch for ruining his relationship. Jess appreciated me telling her the truth and she and I spoke for hours about what happened and when we both got our answers we decided to remain civil as we still had to see each other daily at uni classes. She initially took the right steps and brokeup but soon gave in to his pleadings. As for both our friend groups everyone kinda took my side because of several reasons, Jess was not just a lying bad friend to me but to everyone and they wanted nothing to do with her after all this. I completely decided to cut off contact from both of them but guess what, he still hinted to our friends several times that he would want to talk to me again so that tells me how great of a bf he is and how strong their relationship was:)))
