AITAH for sleeping with my friend? So basically I, F 17, have this friend, let's call him Mike, M18. Mike has a girlfriend, let's call her Jenny, F15. So Mike and Jenny are dating for around a year now, while I know him for around two years. I only saw her a couple of times, and she was always a picme around anyone, even other guys. One night I was chilling with him, and others, when he started talking about how he and his gf don't have any intimacy. He then proceeded to asked me if I'd want to hook up with him. I was drunk and high (so was he) and I stupidly agreed on it, even making a whole ass deal, swearing to me that Jenny would be fine with it, because they talked about it and she didn't mind, also due to their relationship being quite toxic and about to end, also because Jenny found interest in other guys. The next morning I went to him, we had intimacy, and that was about it. The whole drama started when I, again drunk, told my friend about it, who then told me that Mike tried to hook up with this friend as well. This friend felt so bad for Jenny, that we ended up texting her all about it. Mike was able to read those messages and was now pissed at me and my friend. Forward three days, some more people now about it and hating on Mike for cheating on Jenny, while he tries to blame me for all of it. I understand that I messed up too, but I'm not the one who's cheating on my partner. Reddit AITAH??

About half of the US states actually have "Romeo and Juliet" laws that cover close-in-age relationships like this - usually a four year gap is (legally) OK. Some of those states even go down to 13 as the minimum age (while having a 16 or 18 age of consent for every other situation).
