Today, I was Skyping with this kid, when his girlfriend started arguing with him. They do this every other week, and there was a bet on when they'd finally break up. I egged the guy on and told him not to take her shit. She ended up dumping him. Now I feel like an asshole, and all for a lousy $20. FML

You shouldn't have done it in the first place then.

It sounds to me like you did that guy a favor

18-I agree. If they're fighting that frequently, they shouldn't be together and as a friend, you have the right to say something because you should look out for your friends, not sit and watch while they burst into flames.

@30: Just because he has the right to say something, doesn't mean he should give bad advice on purpose to break them up. In this case, he should have kindly suggested that they should sit down and talk about why they fight so frequently and try to resolve their issues and if that failed, suggested breaking up. However, what he basically told him to do was act like a bastard who has no ability to listen to what his girlfriend says by telling him not to accept that she had a valid reason for being angry with him and not to take her anger lying down. Therefore, his actions were still completely wrong and unacceptable and he really should feel horrible. The way they broke up also means the kid has pretty much lost all mutual friends they had because he acted horrible to the girl and he has lost all chances with potential crushes among those mutual friends too because they will probably learn that he acted like jerk to her and instantly decide he isn't worth giving a chance to. This guy honestly should have either given good advice or kept his mouth shut.

Show it anyway

hmmm...i am curious how exactly you egged him on. if all you said was "don't take her shit" then it isn't your fault she broke up with him. you didn't force him to do or say anything. However, OP, it is a dick move to ever involve yourself in someone else relationship problems, even for$ 20.

Karma dude....you never know

I'd send the kid the twenty bucks. He earned it. However, if they were fighting all the time then they probably needed to be broken up.
