She Ghosted Her Best Friend Who’s In The Middle Of Getting Divorced After Learning Her Friend Started Seeing Her Ex-Boyfriend Despite Thinking She Might Still Have Feelings For Him
This woman’s best friend has been stuck in a toxic, back-and-forth relationship with her husband of 12 years for the last six months, and they’re getting divorced. Her friend was sadly cheated on.
“And he never stopped and continued to use and play my friend, and she was devastated every time,” she detailed.
She was there for her friend during every single up and down as well, even though she also happened to be going through her own rough breakup.
Her friend knew about her relationship issues, too, and they’d sometimes talk about her feelings. Yet, in the end, their discussions always circled back to her best friend’s marriage problems.
“And I was okay with that because I understand ending a 12-year relationship was much harder than the short relationship I was leaving,” she explained.
Nonetheless, she admits that her own relationship was quite toxic as well. Her boyfriend began by love-bombing her, and then all of his efforts quickly fizzled out. He only did just enough to keep her around, and eventually, he dumped her.
She realizes that her now ex-boyfriend wasn’t good for her. And she was able to get over him quickly.
But what she didn’t expect was her best friend to go running to him behind her back.
She only found out about this just recently. Apparently, in the midst of her friend’s divorce, her friend just decided to start seeing her ex-boyfriend.

When her friend finally spilled the beans, she actually wasn’t upset for the reasons you might think.
“Originally, I was concerned that my friend was leaving one bad situation for another, and I was trying to get through to her about how bad of a decision this is,” she revealed.
However, in response, her friend claimed to feel “relieved” that she wasn’t angry at her, and it came out that her friend believed she might still have feelings for her ex.
She again reassured her friend that she wasn’t mad before she excused herself from the conversation.
“Because the realization that my friend thought I still had feelings for him and decided to start seeing him anyway did not sit right with me,” she said.
Since then, she has essentially ghosted her friend. She hasn’t answered any calls or texts, and their mutual acquaintances are treating her like the bad guy for “abandoning” her friend during the divorce, which is such a vulnerable point in her life.
This has left her questioning whether ghosting her friend is understandable or really does make her a jerk.
How would you react if your friend crossed a line like that after you’d supported them through everything? What advice would you give her?
