Her Best Friend Encouraged Her To Break Up With Her Boyfriend And Then Started Dating Him A Few Months Later
This 20-year-old woman has been dating the same 20-year-old guy on and off for a few years. But this year, she thought things started to actually become serious.
Yet, not too long after, their relationship got weird again. Out of nowhere, her boyfriend would just ignore her, walk past her, and act avoiding and distant.
And it just did not make sense because, sometimes, her boyfriend would act very cute toward her– calling her late at night and providing unexpected shows of affection.
“It was all very confusing,” she recalled.
So, she decided to rant to her best friend about the situation one day. And by the end, her best friend just told her to leave her boyfriend.
Now, for context, all three of them had actually been close friends for a really long time. Nonetheless, her best friend tried to say that the guy was immature, never changed and that he just did not deserve her.
Instead, her friend claimed that she deserved someone who appreciated her as she was. And she honestly agreed with that.
“But I still wanted to give him a chance,” she revealed, “So, I did.”
“And almost every day, my friend kept asking me about it and reminding me, when she could, that he was mistreating me– which he was. No one deserves to be ignored for no reason.”

That’s why she eventually decided to just break up with her boyfriend. She did try to pour her heart out before calling it quits, and her boyfriend promised that he would change for her.
Yet, the very next day, things just got even worse, and he could not even look at her. So, she finally ended their relationship.
“And after that, I didn’t really talk to him, and I tried to avoid him, just as he had done to me. I was too hurt to even face him,” she said.
A few weeks after they split up, she did run into him at a party. And her then-ex-boyfriend did “apologize” and claimed he just had horrible commitment issues.
Anyway, after that, she considered the situation over. She simply just cut all contact with her ex.
At that same party, however, she noticed how her ex-boyfriend spent all of his time with her so-called “best friend.” He and her friend were at the party, outside the party, and even alone doing who knows what.
She did not go up to either of them, though, simply because she wanted to steer clear of the situation. Plus, at the time, she had assumed her friend was just hanging out with her ex because they had a long-time friendship.
That was about four months ago, however. And since then, her ex and her “best friend” have started dating.
“And how did I find out? By another mutual friend of ours when they asked me how I felt about it,” she vented.
“Needless to say, I had no idea.”
Now, her “best friend” has also started to needle her– asking why it seems like she is angry. But she has not spoken to her friend about the issue and really does not plan to.
Instead, she has slowly cut off contact with her “best friend.” But she is still wondering what the heck to do now and isn’t sure if she is overreacting about her friend’s new relationship.
Does it seem fishy that her best friend was encouraging her to break up with her ex just a few months before they started dating each other? How would you feel in this situation? Is she overreacting or not?
