Well. I (bisexual) met my ex-boyfriend on Grindr just under three years ago. We got along really great and started dating. Early on he introduced me to all of his friends and I quickly became part of the friend group. I get along with all of them great but one of his friends and I were always pretty close. Same sense of humor, love talking to each other etc etc. For the longest time I didn't think much of it, me and the ex were getting along great. But starting around last November me and her started talking a lot more. We are both absolutely obsessed with the game Overwatch. And last November we started, completely out of the blue as a joke at first, writing an Overwatch fanfiction (which is now posted online and 46,000 words haha). So this led to us talking about it constantly. At the same time me and my ex were kind of growing apart (I don't know if that's the right way to put it really). Like he would take forever to text me or get back to me, it was hard for us to see each other and when we did sometimes we just sat around on our phones. The way I put it was that we were getting complacent and just staying in the relationship for the sake of being in a relationship/the comfort etc. I brought this up to him a few times but he didn't seem very concerned. I knew I was developing feelings for her and I told him that but I think we were both hoping it was just a little crush that would go away. But afterward nothing really changed. Me and her kept talking all the time and I still more and more distant from my ex. Well one night we all went out drinking (lol). So we're all having a good time yada yada then my ex drives us all home. Before I leave the car me and her and our other friend all make-out a bit. I didn't think much of it at the time (me and her had drunken made out a little last September on her birthday as well) I just thought it was all in good drunken fun and so did my ex. I go home and once I'm gone she tells my ex and our other friend in the car that I'm a good kisser and she wishes she could find a guy like me, then she'd ready for a relationship. (This is a very important point I think. She's never dated anyone very long before and never been very happy in a relationship) So the next day I'm hanging out with my ex and he says he needs to talk to me. He tells me that he's certain that she has serious feelings for me and he can tell that my feelings for her are serious too. And that he understands and he won't get in the way. We have a long conversation about everything. I knew we were going to break up because I was honestly excited that she might feel the same way about me. I knew I couldn't in good conscious keep dating him if I had feelings like that for someone else. So we break up. We knew that we'd continue to be good friends and he told me and her that he'd be ok if the two of us dated. We're both hurt of course a break up is never easy, but deep down I think we had both seen it coming. My ex talks to her and tells her what's happened and I go to talk to her later on. She's completely blindsided by all this. She tells us that she does like me but had never thought of me that way. I believed her, I mean I was her friends boyfriend. But I don't think my ex completely believed her. Things kind of cool down for a while. Everyone processes everything. about a month later we talk about it again and we decide we want to try dating. So we do and things go pretty well at first. About a week later though I tell my ex that me and her are dating. In theory he was ok with it but I know his real problem was that she hadn't told him herself when she had seen him a few times that week. The next night me and her are hanging out watching a movie. Both our phones are on silent and when check we see that we both have a million missed calls from my and our friends. My ex had gotten completely wasted drunk and cussed her out for not being honest with him and was on the verge of driving drunk to her house. We both freeze up and panic. I leave to go to my exes house to make sure he's ok, our friends are there as well looking after him. I leave after a while. Following that me and her pretty much stop seeing each other. He apologizes profusely to both of us. And that's pretty much how it was for a few weeks. A lot of important conversations and soul searching yada yada yada. Eventually I tell her that I do still have feelings for her but if it would be easier if stopped pursuing her then I would do that. She says that she does still have feelings for me and wants to try dating again. She finally talks to my ex and really gets everything out in the open (she's not the best at sharing her feelings). At this point we're all more or less ok with everything. The next time I see her she pulls me into a kiss straight away and then I pull her back for another one like a scene out of a cheesy romantic movie. That was 2 months ago so things are still new but so far we're both happy. Me and my ex are still great friends. So I don't know, I hope it works out. Wish us luck I guess.
