Summary

The straw that broke the camel's back happened recently. A close friend in her early 30s, with whom I had always behaved impeccably, was threatened by me befriending a female relation of hers. So she decided to draw a wedge between us through misinformation, even though I had no intention of hitting on her relation. I couldn't believe she would do that, so I tested the waters by suggesting I help one of her married friends professionally. Of course, my mate told me it was a bad idea, even though it would have helped her friend immensely.
