Hey everyone, I’m here looking for some guidance on something that’s been really difficult for me to process. This was my first real relationship, and it’s left me questioning a lot. Here’s the story, and I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through something similar or has advice on how to handle it.
My first relationship was with my best friend’s ex-girlfriend, who had broken up with him about 10 months before we started dating. She and I grew close, but I realized that she was still in regular contact with several of her exes. She’d often go out drinking and partying with them, even though it made me uncomfortable and I let her know that. I felt like I wasn’t getting the time or attention I needed from her, so I eventually just stopped communicating with her over text and decided to move on.
After that, I reconnected with my best friend’s current girlfriend, who we’ll call “A.” She was going through a tough time with him and confided in me about how he treated her. She also told me things he’d said behind my back about wanting to take advantage of me and my business success. We discovered that we actually knew each other from childhood but had lost touch when I moved. That bond we shared felt real, and I felt like I’d found something genuine with her.
Within a week, our connection deepened, and we ended up spending the night together. She was actually my first, even before my ex-girlfriend. It felt like something meaningful—like we were building something real. But just two days later, she said she wanted a break, and then suddenly, she got back together with my best friend. Now I feel like I was just a rebound or temporary distraction for her.
This whole situation has cost me my friend circle, and I’m left questioning if any of it was real. I feel a mix of hurt, confusion, and loneliness, especially since this was my first serious emotional connection. Has anyone been through something similar? How do you deal with losing people you trusted?
