His Ex-Girlfriend Dated His Best Friend And Now Wants Him Back
A 25-year-old man was dating a woman the same age as him for 5 years, and it was pretty wonderful up until their last year together.
The final year they were together, his girlfriend began working for his best friend, who happens to be a business owner.
His girlfriend and his best friend got super close, and he didn’t have a problem with that at all at first.
He thought it would be great for the two of them to be friends, but then he started to feel really insecure about his girlfriend’s relationship with his best friend.
His girlfriend reassured him nothing was happening, and their own relationship was smooth sailing…until a few months before they split up.
Right before things ended with his girlfriend, he got really close to one of their mutual female friends, which really made his girlfriend upset.
She thought he was stepping out on her, which he wasn’t, and so he stopped speaking to this mutual friend in order to make his girlfriend feel better.
His girlfriend didn’t feel better about it, and this is the reason why they broke up. Post-breakup, his best friend sat him down to try to help him get through how overwhelmingly sad he was feeling about losing his girlfriend.
Shockingly enough though, as his best friend is giving him this pep talk of sorts, his best friend confessed that he has feelings for his now ex-girlfriend.

“Me being vulnerable, I told him that if anyone was going to date her I wouldn’t mind if it was him,” he explained.
“He told me that he wouldn’t do anything out of respect for the both of us and that she had been venting to him about wanting to get back with me.”
A month later, he tried to go on multiple dates in an effort to forget about his ex, but then his ex sent him a message asking if he would like to get dinner to celebrate his birthday.
He said yes to his ex, and at the dinner, they talked about what their lives have been like since they broke up.
His ex revealed to him that she was with his best friend, and they officially got together just a week after his best friend had that chat with him.
“At this point, my heart drops and I’m angry AF,” he said. “She still tells me that she regrets it all and that she still wants to work things out with me.”
“I’m weak and still in love with her so I tell her that I’m not opposed to trying again but I’m still hurt.”
“Fast forward to now, after a month of multiple long nights and deep talks back and forth with both my ex and my “best” friend.”
“She puts her foot down and tells him she doesn’t want anything with him and doesn’t want to be with him and desires to work things out with me. I talk to him about it and he tells me he’s going to move on.”
“He apologizes to me and says that he fell too fast and was too afraid to face me. I express my disappointment and we leave it at that.”
Currently, they are weeks after these talks, and he just found out that his ex-girlfriend is back to being super close and friendly with his best friend.
His ex maintains that she wants to work on their relationship “but she’s still healing.” He did point out to his ex that it made him upset that she’s still hanging out with his best friend like they were never an item, but both his ex and his girlfriend promise they’re only friends.
“I’m so ready to drop this all and move on but I’m here waiting because I still value and care about both of these people who were in my life and I want to see the outcome through to the end,” he continued.
“They were great to me and our friendships/relationships were amazing and supportive.”
Do you think he needs to move on and leave them both behind, or should he wait around for his ex some more?
