hit me baby, one more time. i know you will.
Ok, a little preface: I know I haven’t written in six months. I also realize that this post may be a little nasty and bitter. Well, I feel nasty and bitter. And I’m going to let it all out. On the internet.
I broke up with my high school best friend today. My bffffffff, my maid of honor, my friends-through-it-all friend. I found out (they were hiding it behind my back, of course) that she and my ex (guess who) “have feelings for each other” and want to date, but the long distance thing is “too much”. He drove to MY hometown over Christmas break to visit HER. My last-minute decision not to go home for the holidays turned out to be the best one I’ve ever made. She lives on my street! Like I wouldn’t see his car!! WOW. Way to be devil’s advocate for two years, sweetie. Perhaps I should’ve seen it coming when they were “married” on facebook. Christ.
I wrote her a congratulatory goodbye email, and I will post it here:
unbelievable. i don't think i've ever been betrayed by anyone as much as i've been betrayed by you. you've hurt me more than any guy ever could. by cutting both of y'all out of my life, i am killing two birds with one stone. you can have my psycho ex-bf, but you've lost me. i'd say i'm sorry our life-long friendship had to end this way, but i really don't think i owe you an apology. have a nice life. i know you will be successful.
It’s not even about him. It’s about my friend that did the one thing that should’ve never crossed her mind. It’s about a friend that took both sides, ultimately choosing against me. Whatever happened to “best friends hate your ex just because you do”?? I think I’m going to join that facebook group right now, as I un-friend her.
Faithful readers, please don’t do that shit to your friends. And don’t take it from those who do. There’s plenty of fish in the sea. Plenty of fish at your own school, so you don’t have to date each other’s exes. Seriously.
