Back when I was 15 yo I dated this guy for 11 months. I was so in love and stupid. He never called me or cared for me but I was too blinded to see it. One day I had enough and decided to break up. But since I was young I lacked self confidence so I immediately regretted it and wanted to get back with him. We did for some time. Then one day I receive a call from this girl, a friend of my cousin. She asked me if we were still seeing each other. I replied yes. She then said they were banging for the past 9 months. She knew we were dating but he had told her he didn’t love me.

I felt hurt, humiliated, and just heartbroken. Few months later my ex boyfriend this asshole come and tell me how much he misses me and I told him to go tell that to his mama because I don’t give a damn about his lying ass anymore.

Years later I met my current boyfriend. He is everything I look for in a man: he loves and supports me, he listens to me and I can be myself with him. He makes me laugh and I can trust him.

But few weeks into dating I learn this same girl who mocked me over the phone is one of his friends. They are actually good friends, since a long time ago.

I explained our past “encounter” to my boyfriend. He understood and admitted that she tried to hit on him once years before but he friend zoned her and that they are really just friends. He still keeps chilling with here, she invites him to her house to eat and they do other activities. But they are never alone just the both of them, always with a group of friends. I trust my boyfriend, I don’t want my past to define my present relationships.

But I wish my boyfriend would stop being friends with her.

My boyfriend and I have been together for years now and he recently started his company. Since she is working in marketing he asked her to work on a project for him.

So now they are even working together.

I really don’t want to have to see this girl’s face for the rest of my life. Every time I see her it reminds me how mean and disrespectful she was, I can never see her as a good person. She plays the innocent girl in front of others but she really is heartless.

I know I should let it all go now but I don’t know how. Any advice ?
