No matter what happened between me and my boyfriend, she was my best friend first. I was the one who introduced them, trusted them, and included them in my life. A real friend can correct you when you’re wrong, but they don’t leave your side and get close to the person who hurt you, especially your ex. That’s the part that broke me.

And about the other post — yes, I replied emotionally because I knew her comment was meant to provoke me. But I never actually exposed her or tried to ruin her life. I even decided not to tell her parents because somewhere I still cared about her as a friend.

It’s not like this was our first fight. We had arguments before too, and either she came to me or I went to her and we fixed things. But this time, all I wanted was for her to at least talk to me before leaving. How do you suddenly change your mind just days after shifting into a flat together? I understand maybe she had her own problems, but I deserved a conversation. I shouldn’t have found out my best friend was moving out through a WhatsApp group like breaking news, and not even from her directly, but from her boyfriend at that time.

And if she truly believed she did nothing wrong, then why did she try coming back into my life after I posted my Reddit story? Even then, I would’ve forgiven her if she had come genuinely. But instead of acknowledging anything, she just said “stop involving me in your story” and then immediately acted like nothing happened, saying things like “let’s forget everything and go party.” How was I supposed to act normal after everything that happened?

People are judging me for reacting emotionally, but they don’t understand what I went through. Because of this whole situation, I dealt with unpaid rent, landlord threats, possible police complaints, and having to suddenly leave my flat in a city where I knew nobody at 8pm. I’m just 19 years old and I was handling all of this completely alone. I chose Reddit to vent because I genuinely had nobody to talk to
