Update 2: AITA for not telling my friend’s girlfriend I’m straight?

For anyone still interested, I just thought I’d share some new information I’ve gotten.

First off I’ve heard from a few other friends who had heard combinations and variations of Charles’s previous stories and everyone is just mind blown by his behaviour.

So, on Saturday night, a full week after the original fight, Ben and Jamie were both staying the night at mine and Abby’s apartment. We were all worried that Charles was gonna try and show up or something and guess what, he did.

He showed up just after midnight absolutely plastered banging on our door. Ben went to the door and told him to leave or he was gonna make him leave through the door. Abby yelled that we were calling the police. He continued to yell and bang while we were on the phone with emergency services but left before the cops showed up. We made the report but the one cop kept saying that he didn’t think Charles was a danger and was just blowing off steam. Basically he blew us off and unfortunately his partner looked like he was 12 years old and just agreed with the older one. So I’m worried he didn’t even file it.

Anyways, on Monday I got a text from an unknown number. It was Danielle. I didn’t realize she had my number bc any electronic interaction I’ve had with her has been on WhatsApp or instagram, where has been blocked for a week.

But I got a text from her apologizing to me for her behaviour. She confirmed that she did break up with Charles and that he had told her that I’ve wanted to be with him since we met but that I was too young for him. (Which made sense when she told me he lied on his profile, saying he was 28, not 25). He told her I “like to get around” and that it was a goal of mine to sleep with all my friends.

Also, on the night of the blow up, after we walked in Charles whispered in her ear, “wow, she might actually be old enough for me to fuck now” as some kind of disturbing joke (I’m creeped out again) which is what made her leave. Then, before Abby and I got to him in the restaurant lobby, she answered the phone and told him she was done and was sick of him. She had already drove away. She wasn’t just sitting in her car the whole time.

Then while we were finishing up he texted her saying that she ruined everything and that we had all left him at the restaurant and he couldn’t get home because he forgot his wallet and keys in her car and she needed to come back. Basically, completely guilting her. By the way, he absolutely did not leave that stuff in her car, he had them at the table.

So then as we were walking out she saw us laughing and got frustrated, because he lied, AGAIN. I guess also Charles was walking behind me and starring starting a me the whole way. Which made her believe that I something may have or was about to happen between Charles and I.

After we left and while Ben was not watching the fight, Danielle kept getting back in her car to leave but Charles kept blocking her car. I guess he managed to convince her that it was just a joke and he still wanted to be with her, and he left with her.

I guess Charles didn’t tell her that he called me and when she walked into our phone call on Sunday morning he mouthed that I called him to tell him how much I wanted him and that I wasn’t going to apologize for my feelings. Meanwhile she heard me saying, I don’t understand why I should apologize bc your girlfriend crazy. Which I why she jumped on the phone and started yelling.

She asked if I was the one who made my original post because a friend of hers mentioned a crazy girlfriend Reddit story and she thought it sounded familiar but events were completely different from what she believed happened.

I simplified thanked her for her apology, confirmed that I was the one who made the post and that I would prefer her not to contact me again. She said she understood.

I thought that was the end of the saga. But no. Last night as I was walking out to my parking spot in the garage at work last night I noticed my tire looked flat. As I got closer I noticed it looked like the three I could see had been slashed. I went back into my office and called the police, Jamie and Ben. I texted Abby to make sure the front door was locked before she left for her night shift and be careful.

Jamie got to my office just before the police did. We explained the whole Charles thing and the police said unless the had proof that he did it they couldn’t charge him. That’s when I found out the security cameras don’t work in the parking garage like I thought they did.

We made the report and Jamie put my winter tires on my car with Ben’s help once he got there so we could get it back to my apartment. And that’s where it’s still sitting until I can get new tires.

I’ve talked to my boss and I will be switching to a work from home schedule. Also, I’ve given a picture of Charles to my landlord so others in the building know not to let him in since a fob is required.

I’m hoping Charles just goes away but I’m worried he won’t and things will get worse.

For right now I feel safe in my apartment. Jamie, Ben or both of them will be staying with us and Abby will have one of them or our neighbour walk her to and from her car here and a co worker on her shift is going to walk her to and from her car at the hospital.
