Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Jealousy is one of the worst feelings in the world. It's nearly nauseating to imagine something going on between your best friend, and your partner. To be betrayed by two of your closest friends is heartbreaking to say the least. We all have natural gut feelings, and it's all a matter of if we should rely on them or not. Don't believe everything someone tells you, and don't let your jealousy get the better of your judgment. 

This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a woman who was wrongly accused of trying to steal her best friend's boyfriend years ago. It's never easy to be the woman with everyone pointing their fingers at you; it's shaming, demeaning, and embarrassing, especially when it's not true. After years of getting over the incident, OP is living a healthy, and happy life, that is until her ex-best friend comes crawling back.

    I, (28F) used to be best friends with Anna (28F) since high school. She was popular and outgoing, while I was the introverted "nerdy" friend. In high school, I had a crush on Ethan (28M), but I assumed he'd prefer Anna, so I stayed out of it. They started. dating, and I supported her with reluctance because of their toxic,

    They broke up when we were 21, but got back together with him a year later and eventually got engaged at 23. Three months. before the wedding, Ethan drunkenly called me, asking why I rejected him. I dismissed him and said he was drunk and ended the call. The very next day, I was kicked out of group chats and

    When I texted my friends to ask what happened, they gave me the silent treatment. When I reached out to Anna, I found myself blocked. Desperate, I even tried calling Ethan, but my number was blocked too. I had no idea what I'd done wrong and I wished anyone would tell me.

    That week was h..I. Anna's silence hurt the most because, at the time, she meant everything to me. I barely slept, battling panic attacks at night while trying to keep it together for class during the day. If not for my supportive roommates who helped me through my panic attacks, I don't know how I would have made it through.

    Anna and I attended the same local university but took different courses. I waited for her outside her class. When she came out with her friends, I pulled her aside and asked what was going on.

    They didn't unfriend me on Facebook, but kept posting about their hangouts and the bridal shower, along with indirect jabs at me. I eventually deleted my old account, and changed my number. I slowly rebuilt my self- esteem and moved on.

    I recently created a new Facebook account. A few days ago, I was added to a group chat for our upcoming reunion, which I had no idea about. They greeted me, calling me "class president" as if they hadn't shunned me six years ago. I left the group, but they messaging me. Anna kept calling, so I finally picked up out of

    She told me that she divorced Ethan after two years of marriage. She tried to reach out to me but couldn't find any of my socials or contact info after we graduated. I asked her why she was telling me all this when she was not important to me anymore. She cried. I ended the call and continued ignoring their messages on Messenger.

    My family says forgiveness is for my own peace and that it doesn't mean forgetting. But I don't feel anything anymore, only indifference. I don't owe them anything to ease their guilt. So, AITA?

    p/s: I originally posted this in the other main subreddit, but it was deleted. I was advised to share in AITA_relationship instead. Unfortunately, I'm unable to reply to those who leave encouraging comments. I share it here because I needed advice too. Even now, I still wonder why I was ghosted and shunned like that. I want to

    Ethan wanted to date you but Anna told him you rejected his interest so he'd date her and him calling you made her feel threatened that her shady actions might be found out so she then made up more lies that turned other friends against you.

    Now it's been long enough, and Ethan is no longer around, that she feels "safe" bringing you around again so she hit you up. Odds are others told her to reach out because y'all were such good friends and, if you refuse to go, she'll tell them something that makes you look bad as your reason.

    Regardless of whether you go or not, I'd contact someone who will be there and tell them that you won't attend because of the horrible way Anna treated you and that you just wanted someone to know the truth so that Anna can't lie about you yet again.

    Don't go if you don't want to, but don't let her get away with lying about you again.

    Ok-Season5497 • 10h ago If I was you I'd steer clear. The fact that you said you had to rebuild yourself says alot. For being such "good friends" they sure abandoned you without even trying to see your side. They are either all dumb as f or not worth another thought.
