So I had this friend. She's the one who introduced me to my boyfriend five years ago. She and I were very close for a long time. Two years ago I broke up with my boyfriend, but she and I remained close. I moved out of state, but she and I still talked pretty regularly, I always saw her when I came home to visit, etc. my boyfriend and I remained friends, no hard feeling after the breakup, etc. well, about a year ago, I decided that I made a huge mistake breaking up with my boyfriend. At that time, he was dating another one of her friends. Nothing hugely serious, they went on like four or five dates. I waited patiently, I thought it would be selfish to make a move if he was happy oth someone else. But he wasn't. He broke it off with her. A few weeks after that, he and I went to a wedding together (out of state), and I made my move. We have been happily back together since then, and are expecting a baby September 15. We couldn't be happier.
