Why you should get with your ex’s bestfriend, by girls who’ve done it

It’s the sweetest dish of revenge you can serve

| UPDATED Hide Images

You’ve started seeing a guy, things are going well and then you meet his best friend. At this precise moment you realise you’ve made a huge mistake – that’s how it normally goes.

His best friend is so much funnier, charismatic and fitter than the guy you’re with. You hit it off straight away and there’s a vibe between you, which you’re definitely not imagining. But you can’t go there, it’s wrong.

Getting with your boyfriend’s best-friend is forbidden – everyone knows that. But if he fucks you over? That’s when the rules no longer apply and you can serve some sweet, sweet revenge by getting with this best friend.

It will hit him where it hurts and these girls have done exactly that:

Rachael, 22

I had a boyfriend of two years, but I always flirted with his best friend behind his back. Our flirtationship was like a forbidden fruit, it got so bad because there was obviously sexual chemistry between us. His best friend was the fitter, funnier and more interesting version of my boyfriend, but I realised this fact a little too late.

Things got really bad between my boyfriend, our relationship got toxic. I broke up with him. He fucked someone a day after we broke up, so naturally, I fucked his best friend. And they’ve hated each other ever since, but I’m not even sorry.

Emma, 20

I cheated on my (now ex) boyfriend of nearly four years with his best mate. It was a shitty thing to do, and I’m not even gonna try and justify it. But would I do it again? 100 per cent.

My ex was the typical nice guy fuckboy who was actually a controlling, manipulative dick head. His best friend is none of these things, and on top of that he’s funny and so freakin’ hot. Jackpot. Plus he’s way more my type, and actually knows what he’s doing in bed. Definitely an upgrade.

Fast forward a few months and we’re basically dating now, and my ex still has no idea. Oops.

Gabby, 19

I was sleeping with this guy named Rowan and one morning I woke up in his bed, feeling annoyed about an argument we had the night before. As I was doing the walk of shame downstairs I spotted his younger, and much fitter brother, Louis.

I made a special effort to get to know Louis, and we actually became friends. After months of me not so subtly pursuing him, we ended up having super drunk sex. So not quite a best friend, but aren’t brothers even closer?

Poppy, 23

My first boyfriend didn’t really fuck me over, he was just lazy and didn’t make any effort in our relationship – he was totally useless. I had been good friends with one of his best guy mates throughout our relationship, and when me and my boyfriend broke up, he was super nice and suddenly I realised how fit he actually was.

Literally about a month had passed and I had been constantly flirting with my ex’s best mate over text. One night we all ended up at the same house party and I knew I wanted to get with his mate. I thought I’d give my ex the chance to make an effort, to try and win me back. But obviously he didn’t, so I ended up fucking his best mate in one of the bedrooms.

I told the right people who would spread the gossip so he would find out. Naturally he was gutted, and I ended up being with his ex for four years.

Chloe, 20

I’d like to make it clear that at no point did I intend on breaking my moral compass. Sometimes these things are just thrust upon you. And when the guy who took your virginity turns out to be a complete dick with an attractive best friend, I mean, who can blame a girl? He was the nicer, sweeter, less dickhead version of my ex and I was completely game for it.

In my eyes, I didn’t see it as going behind my ex and shagging his mate for revenge, I saw it as an opportunity to start fresh with a better version of the previous.

Annoyingly they’re still really good friends, which means they probably sit and bitch about me together, but that just means I’m worth talking about so go for it boos! I’ve recently decided that rather than seeing this as me being trash, I’m just seizing the day or any man I want, even if they’re my ex’s best friend.

Vaneesha, 19

My best friend and I were dating a pair of best friends. It was the perfect arrangement, or so we thought. Turns out, both me and her thought the grass was greener on the other side. My boyfriend was a nice guy who could do no wrong but that became boring. My boyfriend’s best friend on the other hand was sexier, cheekier and just all round more fun.

Long story short, they didn’t treat us very nicely, so my best friend and I made a deal where we would just “switch” the relationships, by getting with them behind their backs. Obviously, it didn’t work out and the boys found out. They argued with each other and were well and truly jealous of the revenge we got. Sadly, they have not remained friends but us girls still laugh about it now.
