45. SHOCKED INTO SILENCE
My boyfriend at the time didn’t think twice about wrapping his arm around one of my friends and then kissing her. She wasn’t my best friend, but we were still pretty close.
I had to walk away to process it, and I don’t think they even noticed. The girl came to find me later and I immediately wanted to know what was going on.
I thought I already knew the whole story, but when she explained it, I was thrown completely off-guard.
Apparently, everyone in our friend circle knew they were also dating and assumed I also knew. They had been seeing each other almost the same length of time we had been dating.
I felt like I had to accept it because no one else thought it was weird. The whole experience gave me a good lesson on boundaries and self-worth.
