My Childhood Best Friend Broke Bro Code and Hooked Up with the Girl I Liked – It’s Eating Me Alive, Need Advice

I’ve never wanted to air this out on Reddit, but it’s been eating me up inside for months, and I need to get it off my chest.

I’ve known my best friend since childhood. We’ve been through everything together, and I trusted him with my life. But recently, that trust got shattered.

There was this girl I really liked. I introduced her to him because he’s my best friend, and I thought everything was cool. Things between her and me were going well for a bit, but we had a fight and stopped talking for a while. During that time, my best friend — the guy I’ve known forever — decided to hit on her. And guess what? They made out and eventually hooked up.

When I found out, I didn’t blow up, and I honestly don’t know why. I just brushed it off like it wasn’t a big deal, maybe because I didn’t want to seem insecure or dramatic. But now… it’s fucking killing me. Every single day, it’s on my mind. It’s like I trusted both of them, and they both stabbed me in the back. The worst part? They aren’t even dating now. It was just a hookup for them, but for me, it feels like it destroyed something way deeper.

What really messes me up is that I’ve known this guy my whole life. We grew up together, and I never thought he’d do this to me. I can’t believe I didn’t confront him back then, but now it’s been eating me alive. I don’t know what to do – should I call him out now, even though it’s been a while? Do I let it go and try to move on? How the hell do I get past this? I just don’t know if I can pretend everything’s fine anymore.

I never wanted to put this out here, but I need some advice.
