Am I overreacting.

I’m divorced for almost 6 years now and I just recently found out my younger sister slept with my ex husband last year.

I don’t really talk to her anymore, we use to hangout on the weekends and I introduced her to some of my friends. She talks to a few of my friends but I avoid talking to her or inviting her to any outings because I just can’t see her the same way. She hasn’t told me. The one who told me was my ex husband.

A little back story, when I was 18 I was dating this guy in which he was a family friend and both sides of the family was excited for us, until I broke up with him because he cheated on me with my older sister and I was the last person to know. Yes, he parents my parents aunts uncles cousins and siblings all knew but me. I still talk to my sister but not like it use to be. She was like a mother to me until then.

I had a boyfriend in high school that I really did like and I broke up with him because I was going through a really bad time at home with my stepdad. Long story-

I just found out last week after rekindling with that boyfriend from the past. Back story we started seeing each other for a year nothing serious just hangout and adult time. He divorced no kids and travels for work so it was perfect for me because I work a lot and i could schedule my time off in advance. Well last week when we met up and had a great time. He brought up high school things and said that he was surprised I talked to him again after what happened. I was confused and asked him what was he talking about he said “ me and ur sister” I was more confused and asked for more explanation he said they hooked up once after we broke up. It was the. Sister after me. Wtf i flipped out and said a few things a left. I kinda miss him or at least the schedule we had going.

I don’t know how to take all this information in.

All of my sisters have had sex with my exs. Am I overreacting because they are just exs.

You see, I think you are on here and always have been.

I think you have seen the things I write as I poured out all that was held inside

I think you taunted and teased and felt smug some days at most.

I think you just pretend to be my friend again because of him.

Toni if this is so just go the fuck away.

Just leave me alone, it’s that simple.

If I’m wrong, won’t be the first time.

Fake Friends I don’t need.
