Basically what the headline says. She alienated all my friends from me after I gained weight in my junior year. I had no more friends. I had a tumblr account and some internet friends there and she would find me and bully me relentlessly there, so I stopped using tumblr. I was so depressed in high school - dangerously so.
Now she talks about the importance of eating disorder treatment and body positivity publicly. She’s thankfully a pretty minor celebrity but I hate every time I see her pop up anywhere because it feels so fake and wrong that she gets this success.
My husband had an affair with my best friend.
Backstory: My husband and I have been together for 12 years. 6 years ago we became couple best friends with one of his friends from high school and her boyfriend(who he was also friends with from highschool). We all became very close and did everything together, I had come to consider them by best friends, especially the girl.
My husband and I had become distant and lost connection due to life stress and navigating our new life post partum with our second child. I also had a gut feeling something was going on I just didn’t know what it was. One day I found a text conversation between my husband and my best friend. Turns out they had been having an emotional affair. I was disgusted at the conversation. They were talking pure shit about me behind my back, making fun of my personal issues that I was insecure about and confided in both of them to vent to, calling each other babe, sexy etc., joking about planning a weekend away, all while still talking casually about our plans to hangout all together.
The worst part. She was 8 months pregnant with her boyfriend. But then to top things off…her brother is dating my sister. So my sisters sister in law had an affair with her sisters husband.
Everyone’s lives were torn apart. It caused so much damage between two entire families.
I felt so betrayed by my husband. However, the betrayal I felt from my best friend hit me almost worse. Maybe I expected my husband to be weak if he was given the attention. But I was completely blind sided by my friend, it was the last thing I expected from her. The things she was saying was so disturbing. Especially being 8 months pregnant.
My husband has done everything to try and repair our family. He has taken accountability and understands he has inner healing to do with himself. She, unfortunately cannot take accountability, She only cares about herself. She is completely out of our lives now, unfortunately my sister still has to see her from time to time.
My husband and I are trying to work on things as I know what he did was wrong and no excuse but I can admit I had been neglectful emotionally due to my own pain and we lost connection.
As for my ex friend, I can’t seem to get past hating her. How entitled she is about the whole thing makes me want to get revenge even though I know that is not the right thing to do.
