Phew that's messy, reminds me of uni and the "incestuous" little groups that happened within as everyone in the friend group went ouut with everyone else x_x
I'm guessing from your opening line it's one of those classic never saw it coming with these people type scenarios?
Hope stuff works out alright for them and glad it's not us or you as well XD

Well, we knew it was probably going to happen, knowing the woman as we do. It came as a surprise to the guy, who is very close to me, more than a friend. He is devastated. It's all still unfolding, more messages etc. tonight...It's difficult to probably understand for you considering the lack of perspective and information but I don't want to identify the people and so can't say too much. They're not on hive of course but still...Just glad it's not me.
I never went to University as I'm a dumb shit, but I can imagine what it might have been like.
