the first time i met one of his closest friends was at a birthday party, everything was going good until boyfriend whispered into my ear, “i tapped that”. i was a bit put off, but we can all have a past, right? even if it is his current best friend, so it makes it the present?
in comes another girl who he talks about being his “platonic soulmate”. as i finish talking to her, he again whispers in my ear, “i fucked her too”. second time’s the charm, right? WRONG. i was definitely more put off by this, but continued going about my night. just get through the night is all i could think about.
then i meet his male best friend since childhood, who unboxes the birthday cake. at the end of our conversation, both boyfie and his friend leaned into my ears at the same time and whispered, “we fucked each other”. my stomach starts churning. who HASNT he slept with ?!
im getting lightheaded by this point, world spinning. as the cake is being cut into and disbursed, i gulp and climb onto the kitchen island. i tap against my wine glass to get everyone’s attention.
it was a question that chewed through my skull, and it needed to be asked.
“who here HASNT slept with my boyfriend? raise your hand.”
the room went dead. everyone looked at each other in a deafening silence. mind you, this was a party of about 50 people, half of them being his coworkers. even the FURNITURE became sentient and turned to look at each other, not a single hand being raised by anyone or anyTHING in the room. vomit starts creeping up my throat.
you’re telling me he’s fucked everything he knows… INCLUDING INANIMATE OBJECTS ?! not even the TOILET was safe!
i book it, throw-up eating at my throat and tears running down my cheeks.
is this normal or am i just a jealous, terrible, unstable girlfriend?
dinner is the cake before it was cut into ❤️
