The article recounts a personal experience involving the speaker's relationship with her husband and his ex-girlfriend's attempts to disrupt their bond. After the breakup, the ex spread rumors about the husband's sexuality, which led to the speaker losing friends who sided with the ex. The speaker felt isolated and hurt by the actions of those she once considered close. Eventually, when the husband wanted to reconnect with his ex, the speaker firmly rejected the idea, recognizing that true friends wouldn’t distance themselves over rumors.
"I met my husband shortly after he broke up with his ex. She didn't take it well and tried to get him back while we were dating. When that didn't work, she told our mutual friends that he was gay and that they had to stop speaking to me."
"I lost friends I thought were close and felt cut off and isolated from a whole group. It was really surreal. One of them even sat in the same doctor's office with me and wouldn't even look at me."
