history: A while back, my friend was fating this horrible guy, so I started sending fake texts to him from a throwaway number hoping she would see them.  I felt really bad about it in the long run. In order try to get a friend to break up with her jerk boyfriend_comma_ I sent him fake texts that looked like they were from another woman.
current: Oh wow! Did it work?
next: No, and it made her feel horrible because she thought that she wasn't enough for him.  In the end, it wasn't worth it.
