I am recently divorced after a rather tumultuous marriage. I wasn’t sure I would find anyone (after all, I’m right around the big 3-0 and damaged goods to boot), but then happened to fall for the most beautiful, kind-hearted man, who I will call “Alderman Broad Shoulders”.
I told my BFF, “Orange”, about my crush on Alderman Broad Shoulders and, much to my surprise, she informed me that she had had a long, torrid affair with him while she was engaged to her now ex-fiance. As if that weren’t enough, she was still in love with him!
As her BFF, I swore that I wouldn’t let my feelings amount to anything, but after spending a lot more time with Alderman Broad Shoulders, one thing led to another and we slept together. He knows that Orange was still in love with him recently and says that he doesn’t want her. He wants me.
In the interest of being a good best friend (or, at least, a better one), I told Orange about Alderman Broad Shoulders and me and apologized for letting it get this far without telling her. Her reaction? She wants nothing to do with me and wants to dissolve our shared business.
I don’t know what to do! I’ve fallen hard for Alderman Broad Shoulders and he makes me so happy, but Orange has been my best friend since we were little girls. I want to have both of them in my life. How do I fix this?
