WIBTA If I told my friend her boyfriend sucks and to stop bringing me into it?

throwaway for privacy

So last week me (22f) and my friend (21f we’ll call her anna) were hanging out in a teachers classroom between classes during a break period on campus. We both invited both of our partners, (both 21m, mine is dean hers is eric) to come join us while we were in there. My partner came to join us, hers said he would. Well he never showed, she tried to talk to him and figure out why he didn’t, he never answered. My boyfriend, (her boyfriends best friend) called eric and eric answered and said he didn’t wanna be there because he found it ‘disrespectful’ to sit in a teachers classroom that he hadn’t been taught by. They got off the phone and then anna started telling me and dean how annoyed she was about it and that she wished ‘he could just do this for me’.

For context, this is a common occurrence of anna asking eric to do something with or for her that is small, and him not doing it.

After the break was over, dean and eric had the next class together. It is a small group stem class and eric went to dean and asked him his thoughts on the situation. When dean said he thought eric was in the wrong and he should’ve just done the small thing for anna, eric lost it, told him to ‘but out of my relationship’ and dean said ‘f you, you asked my opinion dude’.

More context, dean is very confrontational to anyone, he has told me that it was a small disagreement between the two of them and it got heated but ended quickly. Well anna texts me a few hours later with screenshots of her and eric’s conversation where he said they got in a screaming match and the entire class teamed up on him. When I tried to ask anna if she really believed him, she said “there’s another side to the story” and basically called dean a liar, she told me that what he said was not okay and I needed to speak with him about it.

I personally believe eric is in the kinda in the wrong, he didn’t have to come to the room, or be rude when ignoring anna and explaining why he didn’t come but I also don’t have control over dean confronting him and will not be trying to ‘speak with him about it’. Eric asked deans thoughts and got mad when it wasn’t what he wanted to hear. Anna has told me before to tell dean to stop talking with eric about their relationship (despite dean always being the one looking for opinions), especially when eric is in the wrong and she knows it.

Ultimately I wanna tell anna that eric sucks and she and him need to figure out their own stuff and stop asking for me and my boyfriend’s opinions if they don’t like what we have to say.

TLDR: my friends boyfriend always ignores her and when she asks for help from me she never likes my answer and tells me to control my boyfriend when her boyfriend asks mine for advice and they don’t like what we have to say. WIBTA if I told her to fix it herself and stop asking for help.

  1. girl, you’d be doing her a solid it’s her relationship, not yours, so if she can’t handle the truth, maybe she needs to hear it from you straight up, like “get your own drama sorted without dragging me in.” 💁‍♀️
