Everyone Was Invited But Me. He Said It Was a Misunderstanding. | Triangulation
Published 1 day, 17 hours ago
Description
A birthday dinner, a group chat she was never added to, and a partner who always had a reason. A first-person story about triangulation: pulling a third person into a conflict so that two people are pitted against each other instead of talking directly.
The idea of triangles in relationships comes from family systems theory, developed by the psychiatrist Murray Bowen in the mid-twentieth century. In everyday use, "triangulation" now also describes manipulative versions of this pattern. This is one person's story, not a diagnosis or advice.
This is a fictional composite story told in the first person. Names, places and events are invented and do not describe any real person.
