“She lied to me for two years. I asked her multiple times if she was sleeping with him, and she said no.”
Like a romantic relationship, a friendship requires continued interest and investment from both parties to grow and maintain. The feeling of betrayal puts a stop to that, and the friendship tends to fizzle out even if, on the surface, it seems fine.
Karo, 33, talks about how she felt after she found out that her childhood friend dated her ex-partner behind her back: “Disappointed, betrayed, and also less worthy somehow.” She didn’t have a problem with them dating, but more so with the lying. “I don’t want to be friends with her again. She lied to me for two years. I asked her multiple times if she was sleeping with him, and she said no.”
Like Jessica, Karo’s friend tried to talk things through with her, but it was never the same again. Karo says, “We had a call and exchanged what happened in our lives, and she suggested we should catch up more often, but I guess she could tell I was hesitant and we never did.”found that many friendships have ended over a friend hooking up with an ex-partner, and the majority of the people surveyed were against dating a friend’s ex. It’s become an unwritten rule, a sort of “girl/bro code.
That said, it’s undeniable that culture and a person’s upbringings can play a role in our feelings and expectations around our friend’s having relations with our exes as not everyone ends a friendship over it.
