Dear Tessa, I just found out the guy I’m seeing has been texting one of my friends behind my back. He says it’s “innocent,” but I feel betrayed. Am I overreacting?

Babe, let’s be clear: men don’t “innocently” slide into your friend’s messages. If it were really as harmless as he claims, you would’ve known about it from the jump from him. The fact that you had to find out tells you everything. Innocent people don’t hide receipts.
And your friend? Yeah, she’s no angel either. Real friends don’t entertain the guy you’re seeing, period. Even if she swears it’s casual, she knew exactly what she was doing when she hit send. So now you’ve got a double betrayal dressed up as “it’s not that serious.” Cute.
Here’s the truth: this isn’t about whether the texts were flirty, casual, or “just jokes.” It’s about loyalty, respect, and boundaries. And if he can’t respect yours, and she can’t either, then you just found out you’re surrounded by people who don’t deserve access to you.
Final Thought: If your man’s talking to your friend in secret, you don’t just lose a guy — you lose dead weight. Drop them both and upgrade your circle.

If it stings, maybe that’s the point. It is pure satire and for entertainment purposes only. The scenarios, “advice,” and commentary are exaggerated, over-the-top, and not meant to be taken literally. If you’re here for actual relationship guidance, you’re in the wrong inbox and on the wrong blog.
