Woman's Insecure Boyfriend Orchestrates a Fake Love Triangle to Make Her Jealous, Raising Massive Red Flag: 'I like how you look when you're upset'

Welcome, hot tea-loving ladies. Some of the best and most amusing villains in books, movies, and TV shows are best described as "Machiavellian." These characters use their charm and wit to manipulate others to do their bidding. They are constantly scheming, taking a behind-the-scenes approach to villainy while maintaining a likeable and endearing facade. Examples of such characters include Little Finger from The Game of Thrones series, Tony from The Sopranos, and Iago from Shakespeare's Othello. While these antagonists are entertaining to watch on screen or read about in books, meeting someone with Machiavellian tendencies in real life would undoubtedly lead to drama and hurt - especially if that person turns out to be your boyfriend.

In our story today, a young woman finds out that her boyfriend has orchestrated a fake love triangle by convincing his best female friend to openly flirt with him in an attempt to make her jealous. The ruse goes on long enough until he confesses his intentions to our protagonist, stating that he needs to see her upset to feel validated. Read the full details below.
