my bf has a crazy friend who threatens depression and suicide all the time and stuff and had the cops called on her by her boyfriend a few weeks ago. I know she's crazy, but in the past my boyfriend has sent me screenshots of emails from her that felt really deep and personal and confiding trust in their friendship. It feels really strange to me that even though she's crazy, he seems to disregard all of these feelings of trust. I don't know. Am I holding him to too high expectations? is it justified to feel nervous about how he talks about/overshares about his friend, who is the "boy who cried wolf" archetype?
like, i want him to be able to distance himself from the situation because she's crazy, but it still is off putting
Also he was sharing emails with me before things escalated but she was still depressed and suicide ideation-y

His friend is a part of his life. Ask him privately what he appreaciates about her and find out. Also let him know with respect that you think she's batshit insane and make him wonder if she's a truly good influence. Remember always it takes two to tango (a methaphor meaning that if there is a crazy one the one who is with him must have his reasons)
Is she attractive?

oh, it's not that i'm concerned about anon. i know that he knows she's crazy and is put off by it. the way she shares her personal emails with to s of details when i dont even know her just seems disrespectful to her.

ya
i think she has a thing for him judging from one of the emails but it's unrequieted and she later took it back (afaik - but i trust my bf and she is insane)

>he knows she's crazy and is put off by it.
Then is she really his friend? Sounds like a crazy person he doesn't know how to distance himself from/doesn't want to bother with the potential fallout from that. Because it's someone he sort of dislikes, he doesn't really feel like he needs to respect her privacy and shares the emails with you.

Don't trust your boyfriend too much.
There is a reason he is still sticking with her ... and we know it is not her beautiful personality.

This OP. She's keeping her in the back pocket in case you go find a Chad.
