You know that saying, ‘Friends are the family you choose’? Well, I chose wrong. My best
friend and I have been inseparable for ten years. We’ve been through everything together.
She’s the one person I thought I could always trust.
But last week, I found out she was dating my ex. Not just any ex… the one who cheated on
me, broke my heart, and made me swear off relationships for a year. I know there are sweet
exes, but this guy wasn’t one. And how do I find out? Not from her. No, I hear it through
mutual friends at a hangout, like it’s common knowledge.
When I asked her, I was shaking. I expected an apology, maybe even tears. But instead, she
rolled her eyes and told me that she didn’t think it would matter since I’m over him. Over
HIM? Sure. But over YOU stabbing me in the back like this? Not even close.
What hurts the most isn’t even the guy… it’s her. She knew what he put me through, how
much it broke me, and she still went there. I keep wondering, was she always like this, or did
I just never notice? I want to cut her off, but part of me still misses the person I thought she
was. What would you do if your best friend betrayed you like this?
