Violence is rarely the answer

By anon - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United States - Spencer

Today, I found out that my crush of a few years likes me. How? Her boyfriend told me, followed by a punch in the face. FML

Keep an eye out for when they break up, I guess? If they do?

Well if he's that threatened by you that should tell you their relationship isn't that solid. I'd keep an eye out and stay close to her.

If she sees that he punched you in the face I'm sure that'll only help your case so you should be saying LML for love my life. A punch in the face is totally worth it if you get the girl

Now she is probably single because that hyperprotective ass is now in jail?

Assault charge is good on a record

Sue him for assault. Then you got the girl and the money

You mean get the police to charge him for assault? Lawsuits are for non-criminal behavior.

Cuz it's obviously your fault that she likes you more than him.

Need some inspiration? Never crush. NEVER. Who crushes, anyhow? Children. Middle school kids. Are you a child? Do you want to be a child, anymore? If you're crushing, you're only allowing the possibilities for stuff to go wrong, feelings to go unrequited, or let yourself down by putting him/her on a pedestal. Ever hear that song "Centerfold"? Either friend, date, screw, or marry. Never crush. After all, they're only human, nobody particularly special, just like you.

To put it in less drastic and less condescending words: If you develop a crush on another person, act on it, the sooner, the better. Crushing is pretty much OK for a couple of days or weeks until you find out more about that person or find a chance to talk in privacy to ask them out. Months or even years sound really excessive. If you invest that much emotion over such a long period of time, the heartbreak, if the person doesn't like you back, is going to be much worse than if it had only been a week or two. Or, as OP now found out, the person DOES like you back, but none of them ever made a move? She is now with the "second best" guy, for one reason alone: he had the guts to ask her out before OP did.

Maybe not, maybe she needed Mr. Butthead to see how good the OP is, and till now didn't see it.

At least now you know. Also, I've heard that your girlfriend leaving for another guy can be more painful than a punch. You may have a chance for the perfect revenge, just make sure that you organize a restraining order beforehand, haha.
