Same Old Love Triangle
Two years ago, I fell head over heels for a girl in one of my classes. Once I managed to get her number and text her, the first thing she told me was that she had a boyfriend. Despite this, I decided to keep trying to win her affection. They lived together, but when he left for holiday break, I spent three consecutive nights at her place before she left town too.
After that, our relationship remained purely platonic, passing time together as friends for several months. Eventually, we stopped seeing each other completely. Yet, we’re in the same department and she’s still dating the same guy, who’s also at our school. He remains oblivious to our past encounters.
Remorse eats at me for what I did, but I also pity her boyfriend who’s in the dark about the whole situation. Even though we’ve never met, recently, I’ve entertained the idea of writing him a letter to spill the beans. My motivation isn’t crystal clear to me, but there seems to be a desire to cause her some pain.
Perhaps I’m hoping he’ll break up with her. Seeing her as regularly as I do in the corridors and such makes my blood boil. Once we stopped hanging out, she treated me poorly and I’ve found myself craving retaliation. Understandably, this isn’t my finest thought.
