I knew this guy for 10+ years. He was my best friend throughout high school and college. One year after we finished our masters degrees he met this woman. When he introduced me to her I could sense she was fake as fuck. There was coldness underneath the fake smile. You know the type of girl that is all happy, but when you turn around you could see with your peripheral vision the stone cold bitch face she puts for a fraction of the second? Yeah, exactly that type of bitch.

Right after I was introduced to her I told my friend to be careful. He didn't listen. 12 months later he was engaged to her and they started planing the wedding. Around that time I had a heart to heart conversation with my friend in which I told him not to do it. I told him he'll regret it. He was mad. Called me a "jealous motherfucker" and told me not to bother him ever again. We almost came to blows on the parking lot. Ten fucking years of friendship down the drain because of one woman which he knew for barely a year.

Fast forward 7 years in the future. Today out of nowhere I received an email in which he tells me he wants to see me over a beer and "let bygones be bygones". Apparently his divorce was finalized october last year. They had a kid. She took the kid, the house, the dog, the car, his motorcycle. They owned a vacation home which was sold and she was awarded half the scarola from the sale. My former friend was loaded and came from a fairly rich family. Now he's broke, renting a flat and driving a 20-year-old Audi. He spent the holidays alone and miserable.

I don't know if there's a lesson to be learned here, but at least you can use it as a reminder what fate may bring if you're not careful. When it comes to a woman friendship ain't worth shit for some people.

Fin.
