So I’ve been in a relationship for seven years. Before me and my now husband started dating I had a guy friend that I talked to a lot. He had a crush on me all through highschool. We stopped talking when my husband and I started dating because I felt weird about us talking since he liked me. We reconnected a few years ago and would chat every now and then. Never anything flirty or anything like that because I really did love my husband. But every once and awhile I would wonder how things might’ve been different if I had dated my friend instead.. I realize now that I had liked him too, I guess I just didn’t notice at the time. My husband and I separated a year and some change ago, and me and this friend brought up going out once i dealt with my separation. Well my husband and I got back together (because I’m stupid) for a year, and me and the friend stopped talking. We’re now 1000% getting divorced and now that we’ve been separated for awhile and I’ve done some healing, I wanted to reach out to my friend, as we had said if I ever truly ended things here we would go out just to see how things went. He’s been single for my whole seven year relationship, but when I checked Facebook I found out he’s been in a relationship for six months😂😭

Uggh. Part of me wanted to act like I didn’t know and message him anyway, but I would never do that because im not a home wrecker. Obviously I didn’t excpect him to wait around for me or anything, but I reallllly hoped he would be single 😭😭

Seems like my “what if” guy, will always be my what if guy. This blows😐 😂
