    don’t be a doormat, proper response is ‘ok’

    *edit for clarity, I’m talking about the guy threatening to kill himself, she needs to hard cutoff that guy

      She called someone who she trusts in a time when she needed support. I made sure she was safe, calm and around people she felt safe being around for the rest of the night.

      Before that night, we became our own little mental health support group so of course I’m going to make sure she feels safe after dealing with some unhinged shit like how that guy was acting.

      Also she lives in a different country, her life is her own as much as my life is my own in my own country. It’s possible for two people to be friends, care for each other and not expect to be in an intimate or romantic relationship with each other.

          Aaah sorry, I thought the earlier comment initially came off as dismissive towards my friend. All good.

          I don’t recall what my friend said but dude got kicked out of the glow-in-the-dark mini golf place and she got to have his drink for free before finding her safe friends again. Problem solved itself fortunately.
