Truth is I love him. I love my best friend’s boyfriend. The boy she has been going out with for the past two years. The boy who stole my first kiss when we were nine. The boy who shoved cake in my face when we thirteen. The boy who since then I’m very close with. I didnt mean for any of it to happen. But it did. And I dont regret it. I dont regret him kissing me and me kissing him back. I dont regret holding his hand under the table with his girlfriend on his other side. I dont regret missing out on a lot of my best friend’s weekend plans just to see him instead. Point is, he told me he was going to break with her. That he liked me too much to keep dating her. But I stopped him. Told him not to. Begged him not to actually. My best friend is crazy over this guy. And I cant bare to be the one to cause her that much pain. But then I realised that what I’m currently doing wasnt any better. I ended it. I ended whatever weird and sneaky relationship we had. He begged me not to. But I had to. I mean, I hope, pray and dream that one day we could really be together. But now is not that day. I have my best friend to think about.

You have your best friend to think about? Clearly, you’re not thinking about her. If you really did care about her, you would get up now and tell her in person everything that happened. If you really cared about her, you would never hide the fact that her boyfriend is a cheater. Simply put: he was cheating on her. Don’t try to deny that. Look, I’m not trying to ruin your thoughts about him here. But if I was with the girlfriend of my best friend, and I cared about him as much as you care about her, I would never keep anything from him. I would never put him in a false sense of love. He doesn’t love her. He loves you. That hurts her, and it’ll hurt her even more when later on they realize that the love died out long ago. You have to tell her. It’s because you care, not because you want to hurt her relationship. You’re hurting her by not telling her… I don’t really know what more to say. I mean, I know it’s hard. This will be one of the hardest things you’ll have to go through, I can imagine. But… It has to be done. Don’t lie to your best friend. She is your best friend. What does that mean? Don’t take your friendship for granted, and go tell her. Admit everything.

What you did was wrong. You went behind your best friends back. And you also ow that your best friends boyfriend is cheating on her. Two very bad situations and both your fault.
As hard as this may be, you need to tell your best friend everything. If you don’t then when she finds out, you’ll lose it all but even more, your pride and self respect. And yes the truth will come out one day or the other. So go tell her. And if it means you lose her friendship, well then bare it. Cause that’s what you should have thought about before going into it.
I repeat, tell her.
