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.

You people are so catty! they were broken up for 4 months. She might still love him but that's long enough to wait for things to get better before moving on.

wow really harsh thread, when I read ops post I felt heavy hearted for her the way its worded makes me think she really didn't think she stood a chance in hell with her ex again but because she loved him she looked for him in someone else i.e his friend which may have just flourished due to ops emotional state about her ex. she obviously feels like she made a bad choice but she's human she had'nt talked to her ex in a very long time she's already kicking herself, never kick someone when they're already down. best of luck op talk to your ex explain the situation and go for broke best of luck dear.

I'm just commenting to say that she doesn't deserve it because if she was convinced that she was never going to hear from him again, it didn't matter if she still loved him. It would be something that she would have to get through by herself. The friend isn't backstabbing anyone. He slept with a single woman who happens to be his friends ex. While morally wrong, there is nothing wrong going on. No one cheated.

The best way to get over a guy is by getting under another one.

Why? She thought there was no chance of getting back together with her ex and, for all we know, the sex with the best friend may have been entirely casual. She didn't intend to hurt anyone.

I'm really sorry that your ex's back got in the way of his best friend's knife.

What's really annoying me about this one, is the reason why it couldn't be you who made the call or text to say 'I miss you'. Four months is quite a while to be missing somebody & wanting them back. Couldn't you have just said 'look babe, I'm struggling, can't we work through this?' like why not just be honest? And as for sleeping with his best friend, bad move, obviously! There's no way that's not gonna get back to your ex. Even if I broke up with somebody on bad terms I wouldn't sleep with their best friend. Everybody makes shit decisions when heartbroken, I'm no angel to that, but this one really takes a new level. YDI.

Where's the indication the the OP didn't reach out to the ex in those 4 months though? OP said she (or he, doesn't specify) thought she'd never hear from him again. Maybe because she had reached out to him and he never replied?

As for your first question it isn't always that easy. When my ex boyfriend broke up with me, I wanted nothing more than to call him and say those things. But I didn't/couldn't because I'd already made my feelings clear when he broke up with me and it didn't make him change his mind. If someone has clearly told you that they don't want to be with you, there's no point in messaging them to say you miss them. The ball is in their court.

Chances are he decided he missed you just after his best friend told him he'd slept with you. Move on, OP.

Seems pretty funny that the day after you sleep with someone, your ex sends a text saying he misses you. I'd say he's messing with your head and your heart. If I was you, I'd run far and fast away from him and his friends.
