Friend is in process of ending with her abusive P. He is still living in her house and she pays all bills, does 90% childcare and home stuff etc. He earns almost nothing as won't work full time and has minimum wage job. I suspect he's a narcissist of some sort but don't know enough. Currently signed off so only getting basic pay without extras. Doesn't want to move out and is accusing her of all kinds of things.
Supposedly he was going to be out after Christmas. Except, last week he had a car accident. Apparently it was quite bad in that he was t-boned by another car. Both drivers claim the other one is at fault, obviously. His car is old and not valuable so is being written off.
I have seen the pictures. DH had an accident last year where he got hit side on by another car, in a situation where both him and the other car were both pulling out so were not going fast. The damage to our car was nonetheless significant.
The damage to this man's car is significant, yes, but I'm not convinced. For a start, he claims this other guy was speeding. But his airbag didn't deploy, he's not injured etc. The damage on the car over the one wheel is bad, yes, but to my eye, there's no buckling anywhere else except for a weird vertical dent further up the car. It certainly doesn't look like the car was hit at speed.
I am suspicious. I can't help thinking that either he faked the accident OR it did happen, but not like he's telling my friend. I don't think there's anything I can do but except for the extra financial pressure on her because guess who will be responsible for ensuring he gets a new car, surely even a narcissist doesn't benefit from a fake car accident?
AIBU and ridiculous because I dislike him so much? Surely faking this is too difficult and too stupid?
