What would you feel if you found out your boyfriend is cheating on you?
Faith Bistline is about to turn 30 years old, and she was going to celebrate it by going on a vacation with her boyfriend of 18 months to Costa Rica.
However, just a few days before her big day, she received a bizarre text that gave her a sense of dread.
Someone messaged her with a picture of her boyfriend which she posted online and asked “Is he your boyfriend?”
The woman felt odd so she texted back to clear things up.
What the sender told her was something that left her in pieces.
The sender confirmed that her boyfriend was the same guy dated by her friend.
Apparently, both women did not know that the man is dating them at the same time.
It was a sad turn of events, considering she was about to celebrate a milestone in her life.
Faith was surprised but initially refused to believe that it was true.
She trusted that her boyfriend will not break her trust and knew what needs to be done.
There was only one way to know the real story.
Faith took a screenshot of her conversation with the sender and forwarded it to her boyfriend and waited for his explanation, but nothing came back.
It was, somehow, an indirect confirmation that her worst fear actually happened.
A few days later, Faith received another message, this time coming from the woman who was also being duped by her now ex-boyfriend.
Her name is Emily Ortiz and she has been dating the guy for almost a year at the time.
The 22-year-old wanted to know how long Faith dated the man.
Faith told Emily that everything happened behind her back.
She texted Emily to share what she’s been feeling since she found out about the cheating guy.
“I had no idea. This is sorta freaking me out. We’ve been dating for almost a year and a half. I’m trying to give him the opportunity to explain himself to me but he’s not responding to me right now.”
As it turned out, the guy still refused to clarify and this made the two women decide to correspond with each other by sending photos they have of the man who is now their ex-boyfriend.
They even exchanged information on where they left their toothbrushes in the man’s home, some of the things found in his apartment, and how he managed to meet both of their families.
The truth was shocking, but in the midst of it all, the two ladies understood each other and connected thru the bad encounter they shared.
After a few more days, the cheating boyfriend finally replied and Faith could not believe what he said.
“The first thing he said was, ‘So I guess I have a little bit of explaining to do.’ And then he put this little, like, half-laugh emoji,” she recalled.
“That really rubbed me the wrong way. I’m like, ‘Is this funny to you?'”
Emily, on the other hand, wanted to confront the guy personally but he never showed up when she went and waited for him at his residence.
When he responded, the man even tried to deny it and eventually accepted defeat when she sent the screenshots.
Both women may have been devastated but, there was one thing they agreed on: he was not worth crying over.
Faith was sad about finding the man’s true colors, but what kept her down was the fact that she might be going on her birthday trip to Costa Rica all alone.
And then, an idea popped into her head.
The trip was already paid for in full, and of course, taking her ex-boyfriend was already out of the question.
She decided on calling Emily and invited the 22-year-old to join her instead.
Faith was serious about inviting Emily to Costa Rica, and the latter was also looking for a way to mend her broken heart.
The two women finally decided to go to Costa Rica and have a “breakup trip” together!
Faith did not want to go by herself and Emily thought that this trip was a great opportunity to unwind and let loose, after their bad experience.
The two ladies went ahead and enjoyed their vacation together. It was a fun trip and both of them enjoyed each other’s company.
After their epic vacation, both women are now friends and are happy to be free.
Sometimes, bad things can lead to better days and new friends, indeed!
