closest thing that’s happened to me is in college my best friend told me the girl i was dating wasn’t good enough for me. had a point, she ended up breaking my heart in a pretty shitty way that i got really fucked up over for years :/

No but i have refrained from several I told you so's after inevitable disasters which were gently but firmly predicted

i typically ignore these warnings, or take them into account but stubbornly refuse to change my behavior
does it count if i take their advice 6 months later

Not in time, no, but did have friends tell me *after* a relationship was going bad that they "wondered" back when first meeting the person, had reservations, etc & I was like PPL WHY DIDN'T YOU SPEAK UP?!

*when the relationship is going good* hey you know how you’re super happy right now? Yeah that’s wrong i think

Never outright but definitely my friends made their opinions known in subtler ways and nope, agreed with them but didn't listen to them
