As the title clearly suggests i fell inlove with my best friends ex, who just so happens to be my boy best friend.
The both of them dated for less than a year and broke up 6 months ago to focus on themselves with the idea of getting back together once they had better mental health.
But a few days ago my boy best friend(her ex) confessed to me that he didnt like her anymore as he saw a few flaws in her he didnt like personally and he just couldn't see her as a future partner, when he told me this i did have feelings for him, but i was also in a situationship of 2 years.
He later confessed to me telling me that he liked me too and that he had been feeling very guilty for liking me as i am his ex's best friend and i was talking to someone, but i told him i reciprocated his feelings and that i didnt enjoy talking to the person i was talking to at the moment.
Now its been a week since all this happened and i feel horrible for my best friend because im pretty sure she still thinks they have a chance at getting back together and im just flirting with her ex behind her back, am i an a-hole? they arent even dating and we are both completely available but i wouldnt want to lose my friendship with her over something like this...
