Inspired by To The Boy That Cheated On His Girlfriend
I’m told the three of you were friends before. That disturbs me.

Believe it or not, I’ve been where you are before. The other woman, the home wrecker, I’ve heard it all.
I met him outside of the context of his relationship. When I found out, she was still a faceless name. This doesn’t excuse my actions in the least, but it certainly doesn’t make me as terrible a person as you.
Friendship requires a few things: trust, affection, loyalty, to name a few. You betray each of these and more for the sake of some meaningless guy.

One time, maybe you can claim that it was the heat of the moment. Maybe you can repair that friendship. But repeated offenses—knowing she knew—knowing you were hurting her, there’s no turning back.
At that point, it’s cruel. Attempting to keep up appearances is humorous. At that point, you distance yourself as much as you can and, if anything, you beg forgiveness. At least that’s what a decent person would do.
I learned from my mistake, though it doesn’t make it better. I don’t claim innocence, but you’re far removed from apology. Stop trying to make yourself feel better and accept that what you did was wrong. You’ll feel better, trust me.
