I split up with my toxic ex husband and his family last year. They made my life a living hell and mentally abused me all the time. It was the worst time of my life and I’m still trying to recover from it. I hate that man and his guts but I won’t bore anyone with the details here and just get to the fun stuff. Just know that he was a dick and deserved this.
A few months ago, I ran into his best friend at a wedding party. We didn’t really talk at first and passed by each other a couple of times awkwardly until I decided to make the first move. He was a bit cold at the beginning but I kept trying to make the effort to carry the conversation. Eventually, he started talking to me too and being friendly.
The next day I messaged him on IG. He messaged back and we continued to chat before moving the conversation to text and phone. He told me how he had split up with his ex gf recently and that he was still pretty upset about how things ended. I consoled him a bit and eventually we got more personal. I told him some of the things that happened with me in my marriage too. We had formed a connected and decided to meet in person for coffee to hang out.
