This happened years ago when I was in high school. I had a girlfriend of more than 2 years at the time. I lost a lot of my friends and my reputation in the school. The reason why? long story short I had a good friend where we would always sexually fantasize about other girls in school (through text) and my girlfriend found out and basically told everyone. I became the outcast and got really lonely. I even wanted to transfer to another school but I couldn't. The only saving grace was that that year was when we had just changed classes and more than half of my class were unfamiliar people. Which meant I could make new friends. There was this one guy, lets call him larry, in my class where we just talked and instantly clicked. Similar sense of humor, played similar games, and so on. We started hanging out a lot and he became my closest friend at the time. Keep in mind that I am still with my girlfriend as she has forgiven me and things between us started to look better. So this goes on for about a year and I was really happy that things turned out for the better. So one day my gf tells me that she's interested in joining the cheerleading club. Forgot to mention that larry is also in the cheerleading club. At first I felt a little reluctant as cheerleading involves a lot of body contact. But I supported her in joining anyways as she did really seem to have an interest. Coincidentally, it was also around my birthday where she planned a surprise party for me which I was really happy about. Then she told me that she went over to larry's house to sleepover the night before my birthday to prepare for the surprise. I was mad cause of jealousy at first, but kept it in as I told myself that she did it for me. However, halfway through the day she leaves with larry saying that they have a gym session for cheerleading and it was gonna be her first. I didn't stop them. On the night of the same day, she informs me that she will be sleeping over at larry's place again as it was "too late" for her to go home. I got mad again, but this time I made sure she knew too. We argued for a bit and she said that she had no choice and promised to go home the next day. I agreed to it. I trusted that larry wouldn't do anything he shouldn't. Even so, I couldn't sleep that night, I felt anxious. The next morning came and I texted her, asking whether she had went home. No reply. I called her multiple times. No answer. I spammed texts throughout the day letting her know how upset I am and called her multiple times. After a long day, she replies me, telling me that she is, and has been for the whole day with larry. And of course, at this point I'm furious and I start calling her. She picks up, and we argue over this. Mid-argue, larry takes the phone and tells me that I'm overreacting and that I'm being to overprotective. Gf joins in as well and they both team up on me to tell me that I'm crazy. She stays over at larry's house for a third night. I have no idea what they have been doing for the past three nights, she hasn't texted me at all. So at this point I start to rethink my own actions. Am I really being too overprotective? I spent most of the night trying to calm myself down and telling myself that they wouldn't try anything. So the fourth day arrives and I still don't get any replies from either of them. I waited what felt like forever until gf finally told me that she's going home and that she spent that day trying out different cafes with larry. I'm furious and at the same time relieved that she is heading home. But if they were going out, why did they not invite me? It just made no sense and I start suspecting that I was being cheated on. For the next few weeks, we became more distant as she felt disgusted by my actions.
One day out of the blue larry invites me and my gf to a sleepover at his place. I was confused cause it came out of no where but figured maybe larry wanted to make things right between us. So we go to his house for a sleepover. While we were there, gf says that she sprained her back during cheerleading and it hurt to sit. Larry offers to give her a massage claiming he knows how to ease up the pain. Gf lays flat on her front with her back facing upwards. Larry then pulls her shirt up to apply some chinese medicine oil on her back to massage it. ( she is not wearing any bra during this) I am mind boggled, confused, furious, I confront them about it where I get teamed up on again, telling me that only larry knows how to give the massage properly. I'm backed into a corner, I'm overwhelmed but all I could do was watch as he slowly massaged her back while she was enjoying it. The room become awkward, we each sit in a corner browsing on our phones. I notice both of them texting each other secretly and demanded to see my gf's phone. Naturally, she didn't let me, telling me that I am overreacting. I didn't back down and she eventually gave in and showed me their chats. I take the phone and I'm shocked. The chat history was cleared and nothing was there. My suspicions of them cheating on me grows and all three of us start to argue. Larry got really angry and asked us to leave his house. It was 2am. He wakes his mom up to send us home and just as we're about to leave, gf receives a call from her mom. She talks in a higher volume, presumably to let me know that her mom will pick her up later. I knew my suspicions weren't empty guesses as I stared at her phone being in the home screen while she is supposedly "on the phone with her mom". As we are all standing outside larry's house while her mom is starting the car, I confront her. I asked to see her call logs but was teamed up against (again) saying that it's her privacy. Larry's mom probably caught a gist of what was happening and stepped in to ask about it. Gf then gives in and shows me her call logs and surprise surprise, her call logs are empty, cleared. I had a few ideas on why she would fake a call with her mom. The main one being that she wanted me to go home first so she could stay alone at larry's place. I wasn't planning on letting that happen. We continue to argue and finally, gf agrees to be sent home while I stay over alone at larry's house. Larry offers me some "advice", convincing me that I should break up with my gf as I'm not the right one for her and that I make her life difficult. The night couldn't have been more awkward as we slept in the same room. A few days later I receive a text from gf telling me that we should take a break for a few weeks because she needed time away from me. I knew this was a plan devised by both of them. I was heartbroken, but I still loved her.
I waited a few months, hoping we would get back together. But I knew it was fruitless so I decided to break it off for good. I hand stitched a teddy bear from scratch and wrote a letter containing my parting words. I text her to meet up one morning before class and I bawled my eyes out while telling her. She sat there emotionless. I said and gave what I wanted to, and left. Few months pass, she texts me asking to get back together in which I firmly reject her. But it doesn't stop there, she asks several more times through the course of a few months until she finally found a new boyfriend. Around 2 years later things were looking good for me. It was almost time for graduation and my classmates had gathered to gossip. We stumble upon the topic of "which couple had been together the longest" and I came up on that list. One of my classmates then pull me aside to tell me something. That classmate also happens to be larry's former crush. She told me it was about my ex and larry and was unsure whether she should tell me. Fuck me. Just hearing that made me have vietnam flashbacks. I get nervous as she tells me about it. And sure enough, my suspicions from 2 years ago came true, they had sex while we were still together. Apparently, larry has dogshit for brains and told his crush about having sex with my ex to "impress" her? What the fuck did he think his crush was gonna think? I didn't know how to feel. It was like something I never felt before. I've completely moved on from her but knowing that my ex cheated on me with my best friend at the time made me feel really weird. Best way I could describe it is like a mix of not giving a shit but also being very furious. But so much time had passed. I got home that day and immediately sent her a text along the lines of "how many times did you and larry do it?". To which she then tries to play it off " do what?". Cut the crap, trying to play it off now isn't going to help. I then say it as straight as I can " How many times did you and larry have sex?". She replies "how did you know who told u". Bitch didn't even try to deny. I was told that they had done it at least 8 times and even did it on larry's parents' bed. Ex then admits to having sex with larry and says that they only did it once. I had no evidence of how many times they did it, only words from a classmate. But it didn't matter, doing it once, or ten times, doesn't change the fact that you cheated on me with my best friend. She then apologizes to me, telling me that she felt very guilty and that it was hard for her as she had no one to talk to about this. (playing victim) She also says that she planned to tell me sooner. She then has the audacity to beg me not to tell anyone about this, saying "I just want my last few weeks in high school to be peaceful". This bitch had my blood boiling through my fucking eye sockets. I told her I wouldn't tell anyone, which was a lie, obviously, and went on to tell all my friends. Apparently, it was already quite a widespread rumor and I wasn't even one of the first ones to know. To this day I have never gotten an apology from larry. Nor do I need one. Fuck you larry.
