When I was dating my boyfriend, his best friend, Charles Rivers, never missed a chance to badmouth me. "Honestly, she's just a pretty face, nothing else," Charles would scoff. "Man, she's already checking up on you every time you go out for drinks. Soon enough, she'll have you wrapped around her finger." "Seriously, man, grow a spine. Don't be her lapdog, okay?" Thanks to Charles's constant badmouthing, my boyfriend dumped me without a second thought. Two months later, he started to regret it and called me late at night, wanting to get back together. But it was Charles who picked up the phone. "Bro, the moment I laid eyes on your girlfriend, I knew I had to stick around you," Charles said. "Oh, and by the way, we're tying the knot next month. Don't forget to show up."
