Looking back to a few years back, I laugh so much about how petty I used to be. I would just not talk to people over random issues and I didn’t even care because I just didn’t care. But there was this time I had to cut a friend of mine off because she betrayed me.
If I remember correctly, all this happened about 6 to 7 years ago. I had a group of female friends I used to go for extra classes with. They all lived in the same place and I was the only one who lived away. That didn’t stop us from being friends anyway.
It happened that , one of my friends, let’s call her Mona was in a relationship with one of my friends and I was also in a relationship with one of her friends. So, we were more like a circle of friends because we knew each other.
Note that, Mona had been in a relationship with her man for about 2 to 3 years while my relationship was just fresh. Fast forward to 3 months later, Mona and her man started to have problems. I didn’t know about it, it didn’t even concern me so why bother. Things got so bad with she and her man she started talking to my partner about their issues. I had no idea all this was going on. Poor me, right?😂
I was at home one day when I received a picture from Mona’s boyfriend. It was a chat between Mona and my boyfriend and only God knows what they were talking about. I didn’t think they were having an affair, but their chat was about us, their partners. Mona’s man was so heartbroken over the fact that she went ahead to discuss their internal matters with his closest friend. You know how guys feel about these stuff.
I didn’t mention any of this to Mona or the other party. Then, all of a sudden she started to act funny around me. It continued for so long and I later found out that she and her man broke up. This is where things get crazy.
After breaking up with her man because he confronted about her actions, she then went ahead to try to snatch my man and in doing this , she decided to go about talking bad about me. I heard about it from other people and funny enough, it looked like my partner was also interested in her.
To cut everything short, I cut them both off and moved on with my life. Till today, they both feel guilty about their actions and try to reach out to me but I just choose to ignore them. Initially I had so much hate for them both, but over time I forgave them because the hate wasn’t worth holding on to.
Sometimes the people we call our friends and loved ones are not really who they claim to be and there’s nothing wrong with putting yourself first. Always choose you over drama.
all images belong to me.
this is my enyry for day 17 of the #Aprilinleo prompt. I hope you enjoyed it.
