Today, I received an "I miss you" text from my ex of 4 months, who I still love dearly and would give anything to get back together with. Yesterday, I slept with his best friend, convinced I'd never hear from my ex again. FML

Why would you sleep with the best friend of a person you "love dearly"

You should probably tell your ex that his "best friend" is a back stabbing piece of shit. I voted YDI, by the way.

Wow. The FML community is like a vicious pack of dogs just tearing into OP.

People are harsh man. I get where you're coming from love. It sucks. I feel for you. But you're really not meant to be if he doesn't forgive you. It's just one of those things. I promise it will be okay.

You don't go around sleeping with the best friends of people you "love dearly." Did you really think people were going to express sympathy towards you after reading this? Your ex is way better off without you and his "best friend."

He probably told your ex about it and now your ex is just messing with you. That's suspicious timing for him to "miss you".

Wow. The community is brutal tonight. OP and their ex have been broken up for 4 months and haven't spoken in that time. OP owes him NO loyalty. OP thought the relationship was over, they tired to move on. Hasn't anyone here tried to start a relationship when still in love with someone else? Hell, I dated a guy just because he looked like a guy that I loved. While moving on to the friend wasn't smart imho, OP is single and can date whoever they want. If anyone is to blame, it's best friend for breaking the bro code. You always got to get permission to date a friend's ex.

I didn't vote YDI because she had sex or because I think she owes her ex loyalty. I voted YDI because she says she loves her ex dearly and would do anything for them to get back together and then sleeps with his best friend and complains afterwards how she regrets it because she got the "I miss you" text. Huh? This is a situation the OP maneuvered themselves into. Either they really love the ex and wouldn't do anything to destroy the chances they still might have had or they see the relationship as over and done and move on to other people. She made a choice, so she deserves the result.

I don't think any of the comments say she owes him loyalty or are chastising her for having sex with someone else or trying to move on. They are saying she deserves it because she decided to sleep with the ex's best friend. Which is one of the few people in the entire world that sleeping with would basically guarantee that they wouldn't get back together. Plus regardless of the reason she had sex with the best friend she knew that it would hurt her ex if he found out. Which is something she shouldn't want to do if she cared about her ex. Revenge is the only reason I can think of that explains the OP sleeping with the ex's bff.

what? you were broken up, you shouldn't be ashamed of sleeping with other people, even his best friend... am I the only one that thinks it's not that bad?

People aren't saying ydi because she had sex or tried to move on. People are saying ydi because she said she loves him and wants to get back together with the ex but then slept with the exes best friend. If you want to get back together with someone, sleeping with their friend is the wrong way.

Maybe he had a bit too much to drink and decided drunkenly it was a good idea to text you.

I disagree with most of the comments here. You and your ex were broken up, so you were well within your right to sleep with whoever you want. It could still cause a lot of drama, especially if you and your ex do end up getting back together, but, again, since you're broken up he can't hold it against you. I vote honesty in this situation. If you and your ex consider getting back together, you should tell him so his best bud can't hold this over either of you. Remember, your ex didn't try to contact you for 4 months. He can't hold anything you did in that time against you. For the record, I always thought the "I miss you" texts were kind of douchey. Like "Oh, I still have feelings for/miss my relationship with this person so I'm gonna shoot them a text to play with their emotions and possible throw a wrench into any new relationships they may be trying to start." Not sayin' your ex is like that, but still.

If they do get back together and OP tells the ex about it, they better leave out the part about loving him and doing anything to get back together.
