Hi, I’m Kurt.
I met two people at a hangout, Lian and Megan. As time went by, the 3 of us became close friends.
Eventually, Megan confessed that she had feelings for me. However, I couldn’t return those feelings because I had already started developing feelings for Lian. The two of them are very different from each other. Lian is mature, thoughtful and easy to admire, while Megan tends to be more immature in the way she acts. Megan has a lot of flaws, so I wasn’t surprised when I realized that I was more attracted to Lian.
The first time I rejected Megan, she didn’t seem to take it seriously. She continued acting as if we were already a couple, often treating me like I was her boyfriend and she was my girlfriend.
Because of that, I rejected her again and made it clear that I already liked someone else. I hoped that would help her move on and stop pursuing me. However, I didn’t tell her who that person was.
After hearing that, Megan said something that shocked me. She told me that if I ever truly fell in love with someone else, she would kill herself.
Now I feel trapped. I don’t want to hurt Megan but I also don’t want to pretend to have feelings that I don’t have. At the same time, her words have made me feel guilty and afraid of what she might do.
What should I do if a friend threatens to hurt herself because I don’t return her feelings?
