I was with my kid's father, "Rob" for 5 years, and I was best friends with "Jenny" for probably 10 years. We were like sisters, I have never been so close to anyone. Jenny lived out of state for a long time, and only met Rob in person a couple of times since I would go to visit her. She came up to visit for a while, and the three of us got WAY too drunk and one thing led to another, we ended up having a threesome. We all felt sort of strange afterward, but Jenny stayed in our house for the next week or so as planned. A few days before Jenny was scheduled to leave, she admitted to me that her and Rob had sex after the threesome...while I was at work, in our bed. I felt totally betrayed and kicked her and Rob out of the house. Rob became my ex (we do get along great now and everything is okay there). Jenny was left with very little money and nowhere to go in a state she didn't live in - for several days (til the trip back). At the time I could have cared less...now I feel sort of bad for treating her this way. Then, Jenny and Rob embark in a short-lived long-distance relationship. After that was over, a few months at most, Jenny and I reconciled (we were THAT close and I did not want to lose her over a guy). After Jenny told me that she might be pregnant with Rob's kid, very apologetically, I was too messed up about the entire situation to ever speak to her after that. (Turned out it was a false alarm.) Now, it's been a few years, and I still think about her all the time. I miss her friendship terribly (and it's not like I'm all alone or desperate for friends). We were just THAT close. I have been thinking about contacting her, but I have no idea how she would react or what she would say. I am so torn about trying to resurrect this friendship and opinions from people around me are split down the middle. Any thoughts on this one? Did I overreact to begin with (after all, I was in on this one too)? Anyone been in a similar situation? THANKS!!!
