Yesterday I had a conversation with someone I've known for a very long time. The person knew me when I was a scrawny teen with pretty much nothing. We've been through a lot together and I always thought that we were really good friends. Well, this may just be the year of the worst friend-related realizations for me. I mean, it's like the stars and moon and other elements in the universe are lined up to just screw with me. Or screw me over. Whichever comes first.
Example:
I just found out that this friend of mine dated (and I use the term loosely) a guy I dated. Ok, weird but whatever. It's not like I'm wishing he and I were together or anything. After all I'm happily married. But, isn't there a rule about dating a friend's ex?
This guy was a true jerk and of course, I didn't find out until we were dating for like 5 months. Why? Well, turns out he had a kid he never told me about for starters. And, to protect the not-so-innocent, I'll just say that he had issues with the law. Anyway, she dated him for like 4 months and then they broke it off. So, the main point about me being ticked is that she tells me this after like 6 years AND that the four month period just happened to overlap with the time he and I were together. Howz them for fightin' words??
Ok, so I have absolutely no desire to start a fight, but seriously. Someone who is supposed to be a friend was screwing someone I was dating. What the!? And she still thinks we're friends. Well missy, I think that categorization of our relationship is a little skewed.
So, is it wrong to be ticked at her? After all, it happened several years ago although I just found out.

When this situation happens to guys, you may have heard the phrase, "Bros before hos."
I don't quite know the appropriate translation for describing the situation in your case, but I'd it applies. The guy was a loser, and this was six years ago. "Hos before bros!" Or, y'know. Whatever.
nope, i think that you have the right to be slightly mad. I mean, yes, you are happily married, but no, that was not cool.
Irish, I'll be posting an update. You're right. Seems that there are ulterior motives.
Snay, I understand what you're saying but it feels like a stab in the back, y'know? I feel like an idiot for thinking we were friends all along. Friends shouldn't do shit like this to each other...But I'll consider the high road like you're saying when I'm less angry.
Carmen, thanks for understanding that regardless of my current situation, it's still not cool.
Ha, my overall goal this week: Drama free, clean and healthy living! ;-) Holla.
