I was dating this one guy, and we loved each other. He loved me a lot, he even told his mom about me and everything was going well. But then some problems started arising, and our relationship hit its lowest point. He was still trying his best to fix everything, but I was emotionally drained, so I broke up with him. It wasn’t his fault, and he was ready to give his all to save the relationship. But for some reason, I didn’t feel like saving it. I broke up with him because I knew things would’ve gotten toxic.
After the breakup, one of his friends reached out to me and asked if I was okay. During that time, all my friends and his friends blamed me for the breakup, but this guy was the only one who checked on me. We started talking and became friends. After that, we didn’t talk for about a month because we were both busy, but then he texted me, and we started talking again. On Valentine’s Day, he took me out and confessed that he liked me, so I started dating him.
When my ex found out, he accused me of cheating and said I broke up with him because I liked his friend. I feel guilty and wonder if I shouldn’t have dated his friend, but at the time, it just felt right.
