The original poster (OP) expressed strong feelings of sympathy for Jake's girlfriend, directly challenging Jake's admitted lack of effort in their s*xual relationship.
This action immediately created conflict, as Jake became defensive, and the OP's fiancé, Sam, subsequently criticized the OP for making fun of Jake.
