I had this exact thing happen to me when I was younger, we were not roomates, but the girl I was with for 5 years, hooked up with my best friend from when we were little kids, behind my back. This was the girl I was going to marry, and we had it all planned etc. Owned a house together etc. To this day that betrayal is what I credit for being 37 and not willing to do anymore than just date. And I am convinced all my girlfriends secretly are having affairs with my friends. Having the 2 most important people in your life stab you in the back like that is devastating. I got to the point where I had the rope ready, and I was going to go over my 4th floor balcony. Had I not drank myself into absolute oblivion that night and passed out, I would have done it.
The cool thing is, me and him mended fences about 2 years ago (12 years after the fact). And seeing what a giant, fat, disgusting pig she became, makes me thank him now in a weird way. But regardless, it was a devastating blow, that changed my life forever, and the way I look at people.
