The story

So this happened recently, but the whole situation goes back 2 years. I had a close friend for 5 years and we were literally inseparable. She introduced me to a guy friend of hers who had a crush on me, and we eventually started dating. I wanted to tell her, but he refused because their relationship was bad at the time, and she was already dealing with issues with her ex. We dated for a few months before breaking up because he cheated.

I felt so ashamed and embarrassed that I never told her about us. But recently, he told her everything and even showed her intimate videos of us that he took without my consent. She acted cold towards me until I kept asking what was wrong, then she finally told me everything. I apologized and explained why I kept it a secret. She also asked me not to let him know that she told me.

But I got worried about those videos, so I privately asked him to delete them without mentioning her. He went straight to her asking if she snitched, and she got mad at me for asking him about something so private. Now we haven’t been talking for a while, and I’m honestly so sad and keep blaming myself…

that's such a messed up situation 😟 it's awful he did that without your consent and caused this huge rift. not cool of him to put you both in this position just to save his own skin. honestly, she might need time but true friends get through stuff like this eventually. don't be too hard on yourself for wanting to protect your privacy!
