¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i have a bad crush

crushes are the worst tbh and my latest offense has been this great guy who is super funny (ngl theres a lot of dick jokes) and ive liked him for almost a year and normally thatd be fine except... i accidentally befriended his ex? we knew each other before and werent super close when they had their thing which lasted about a month. but then we got tighter and now were good friends and both have vented to me about the other being terrible 🙃 and im kinda hoping he doesnt like me back because i can imagine confrontations all around and it not being fun at all. ik theres not much in the way of advice to be given here, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
