Feel betrayed by my bestfriend - overreacting?

I'm not a parent but I thought posting here seemed a good idea as there has been a lot of good advice!

Grew up with my bestfriend in Ireland and moved to the UK for university, we continued to facetime pretty much 5 times a week. I have liked a guy named Craig for a few months now that lives in my uni halls and I have spoken to her many times about this and she has even given me advice on it etc, I invited her and my other friend over to my university halls which we planned to go on a nightout with few of us including Craig.

We didn't get let in as most of us were quite drunk so we got back to the uni halls and most of us went to sleep except for my bestfriend and Craig and they decided to go out together on their own. After about 3-4 hours I woke up and heard my bestfriend in Craig's room so I rang her and she came out and told me they got with each other.

I was obviously upset and crying etc and I kept asking questions about it and for some reason she insisted on telling me she was sober after most questions which I didn't understand because surely that's worse than doing it when drunk? Like why even say she was sober I just don't understand it!? Atleast lie surely????

Haha I’m gonna try! I’ll slowly distance myself and see how it goes!

Trinity66 - Thank you for that reply again, it might be selfish but I honestly hope nothing happens between them, like you said long distance realistically never works so it’s crazy to think she would do this to me.

I’ve obviously liked other guys in Ireland and she didn’t care about them so not sure why she would do this now.

It was REALLY shit behaviour of a friend, inexcusable.

All I would say, is if you feel she is genuinely remorseful and upset about what she has done and that you value your friendship - consider giving her another chance.

I made a lot of stupid mistakes when I was your age, things I massively regret now and am ashamed of. People do F up, if you think she is truly sorry and can find a way to move on then I would - if she is important to you of course.

I am really sorry though - hope you are starting to feel a bit better

I wouldn’t not be friends with her. But I would be very wary, if she pulls this kind of stunt again then it’s a pattern, not a mistake.
It’s a life lesson for her and for you, just depends if she wants to learn that life lesson.
