my best friend made out with my ex… then lied about it??
so basically my friend j invited me, my best friend (s), and the rest of our friend group to his house to hang out. my ex is also in the group, and we were kind of trying to sort things out. the whole time we were there, he was laying on my lap, being super touchy, holding my hand—just acting like we were still a thing. and s is literally sitting across from us watching all of this happen.
there’s like 16 guys in our group and only 3 girls, and only me and s actually showed up that day and she told me after she felt left out because i was talking to my ex a lot and the rest of the guys don’t really like her
later on we played this game in the dark in the basement where one person is blindfolded and tries to hit everyone. it was pitch black. during that, my ex was like kissing my hand and we were cuddled up on the couch for a few rounds.
then at one point the lights turn on and i look up and see him and s standing together near the bathroom. i didn’t think too much of it at first, but then one of my friends told me he saw them holding hands for a second, which was already weird.
fast forward to the next day, i slept over at her house, and after i got home she calls me and says she has to admit something. she tells me that while we were at j’s house, my ex texted her “want to make out,”(sounds like him icl) she said yes, and they went into the bathroom during the game and made out.
what pissed me off is she literally had no sympathy while telling me. like no emotion, nothing. and then right after, she begs me not to tell him that she told me??
then it gets even more confusing—she goes to my ex and tells him that she LIED to me about the whole thing, which makes zero sense. so now i don’t even know what’s true. i ended up texting him about it, and at the same time i was texting her, and she still showed no real remorse. she just kept saying “i’m a horrible person, i don’t know why i did it,” but not actually caring about how it affected me.
now basically all of my friends (especially the ones who were there) already don’t really like her, and they’re all telling me i need to drop her and are really pushing me to cut her off.
but i’ve known her for so long and i genuinely love her. she’s such an important part of my life, and i don’t want to lose her. but at the same time it doesn’t even feel like she cares that she hurt me, and that’s what’s really getting to me.
also like… either she actually did it (which is messed up), or she lied about it for literally no reason just to hurt me, which is also messed up. either way i feel disrespected and like she took advantage of how understanding i am.
i need someone’s unbiased opinion on what i should do
*pink parts are just her or others names
(i’m also obviously mad at my ex if it is truth and i would cut them both off it’s just hard because i really truly considered her my closest friend)
