My girlfriend ran off with my best pal after dumping me on the phone… I won’t recover from their betrayal on anniversary
A MAN was dumped by his girlfriend over the phone when she ran off with his best pal and now the couple have rubbed salt into his wounds.
The heartbroken man was devastated when his girlfriend broke off their three-year relationship over the phone.
He said he had been asked shortly before by his best friend of 10 years if he would be “mad” if the pair got together if they ever broke up – but the man assumed he was joking around.
But after the split, his best friend “ghosted” him and the man discovered the pair were dating.
The break-up sent the man into a depression “rabbit hole” before he discovered the pair are now engaged – with the date of their engagement being significant.
Posting anonymously on Reddit, he said: “For me, my best friend of 10 years asking if I’d be mad or what would I do if he and my girlfriend (friends four years and three years dating) got together should she and I breakup is enough.
“My response was I’d never speak to either of them again.
“I assumed he was busting my balls and didn’t read too much into it, especially since they would talk s**t about what an a**hole the other one is.
“Not long after, she dumps me over the phone with no warning and little explanation and not long after that he completely ghosts me with zero warning or explanation.
“Guess who’s together now. I know everyone says this but I never thought this type of s**t would happen to me.
“They were the only two friends I had.
“I was there for them when no one else was. As far as I’m concerned he took her from me.
“I just found out after going on a depression rabbit hole that now they’re engaged.
“Not only that, they got engaged one day after what would have been our four-year anniversary.
“I know I’m better off but no matter how much hatred I have for them both, which is incalculable, I don’t know if I’ll ever fully recover from that level of betrayal.”
Reddit users were supportive in their response to the story, but many said the best thing to do is move on.
One said: “You need to start taking steps to get over this break-up. Several months of being hurt is normal, but you have been posting about it for over a year.”
Another wrote: “Their relationship will crash and burn. That’s an incredibly unhealthy approach to building a successful foundation.”
One added: “Trust me bro as sad as you’re feeling he did you a favour now two snakes are out of your life.
“The sooner you see this the better in the long run. They could have destroyed your life at a much bigger degree.”
