My best friend of 15 years is engaged to and has two children with my ex.
Back story: The girl and I had been seeing each other for over a year when she told me she loved me. I believed her because I felt it. I've been in relationships before when the girl told me she loved me it didn't really resonate. I didn't say it back right away because I wasn't sure. So fast forward I decided to take a job across country and she's helping me pack and she's getting emotional and sobbing so I grab a shirt out of her hand mid fold, look her in the eye and tell her I love you too..... Next day she drops me off at the airport...
First few weeks everything is good we are talking/texting often laughing discussing future plans what's going to happen when I get back blah blah. As time wore on the texts and calls became less frequent. A week went by and we hadn't spoken mostly because we both worked long hours but I felt something was amiss so I decided to call her one night and I asked her if we were okay ? She says of course. Relieved I say okay good...
A few months go by we are still talking but the distance was taking its toll so I decided to come back home to you know be with her... I get back she picks me up from the airport and acts as though nothing is wrong she kisses me we joke all the way home. My buddy called me and said they were throwing a welcome home party for me the following night now this is when shit gets deep...
I ask her to go she says she's tired from working a double shift which I said okay understandable given her profession so I'm at the party having a good time texting her but she isn't replying I figure she's asleep. I'm wasted so Is everyone else so I call and ask her for a ride home and she says "I need to tell you something...." I said okay... What's up ? She says "While you were gone...(pause for dramatic effect)... Me and (let's call him Steve) hung out... A few times... He was there for me and...(begins to sob a little) well... I like him. I want to be with him...." Like I said I'm hammered so I'm completely blindsided by this... Fighting back my own rage tears I gather myself and say two words "how long ?" She says a few weeks... I was gone for six months... I said why (let's call her Jessica) ? How could you do this to me to us I loved you ! I was good to you... I... Now she's really crying saying sorry asking me for my blessing basically so I hang up on her and call Steve and ask him to be honest with me he pauses and exhales and says "I wanted to tell you but... I was waiting for the right time... WE(her and him) wanted to tell you in person... I'm enraged. I curse him out make him feel like a shitty friend call her back say my peace and that was the end of it.....
They just got engaged and have two children together. He's been trying to get in contact with me I've heard through mutual friends but like I said 15 years he was my ace... I can't forgive him
