r/Relationships My Friend Shot Me in the Head with a Crossbow
Dangerous Relationship Dynamics: Accidents, Control, and Sudden Financial Ruin
Discover critical red flags across four volatile relationship scenarios: extreme accidents, subtle financial sabotage, coercive control disguised as concern, and relationship ultimatums demanding purity of lifestyle.
Short Summary
- Assess the immediate danger when trust fails, as seen in a near-fatal crossbow accident where caution was ignored.
- Identify controlling partners who erode self-esteem by criticizing lifestyle choices, friends, and hobbies, often weaponizing age differences.
- Recognize patterns of control related to emotional labor and inflexibility, such as ultimatums involving dependents (dogs).
- Understand how behaviors like excessive recording and paranoia in high-stakes professions signal escalating coercive control. This segment analyzes four distinct crisis points submitted to relationship forums concerning sudden harm, gradual suffocation, rigid control, and financial betrayal. Readers will learn to separate genuine concern from manipulative tactics regarding physical safety, personal autonomy, and shared financial planning.

Crossbows are INDEED a killing tool. That dude needs to be AN EX FRIEND YESTERDAY
First Story: I would never be friends with this guy ever again. A crossbow is like a gun, don’t point it at people. The target was at the oppsite of where OP was but this guy aimed it away from the target, at OP, and fired. I wouldn’t trust this guy with any projectile firing thing ever again. I agree, this sounds intentional. Bro did a 180 and fired....no way this was accidental
Dates someone 20 years younger, wants them to act older. Date someone your age
This entire video had a continual theme of, "Girl, how many signs do you need? _Run_ !"
We have a normal bow at home, and I often shot it with my father when I was a child. The first rule is always that you never point the bow at anyone. The second is that there should be no arrow on the string when someone is standing in front of you. These are rules that even a child can follow. It is virtually impossible to accidentally shoot someone standing behind you.
Third story, dogs. Easy. Anyone that forces their partner to give up something else they care for for themselves are never worth it.
With the cop, some people can't separate their job from their everyday life. I was raised by a therapist who did the same thing. I felt more like her case study than her son.
13:14 doing background checks on friends, family, and or acquaintances is normally against work policy and is a major red flag.
Cop Story: That situation feels very dangerous. OP, quietly exit that situation.
The dog story: "He doesn't like unpredictable things and chaos." Guess he's never gonna have kids then.
