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.

Coincidentally I have also made peace with my friend, even went to his wedding a while back. Tried to do the same with the ex, but a few minutes of talking to her and I was wondering why I ever got involved in the first place.
