Am I Overreacting?

So my husband and I have been divorced for about 24 days now and he has had the new girl in his bed for a lot longer than that. In fact, she has been in our bed even before I knew things were turning south - go figure. Well one of my best friends (a guy) and I have been talking a lot lately. I have been pouring my heart out to him and really using him as a crutch to help me get through things. I have told him things that I probably would never write in any journal - its that personal and intense.

One night things started to heat up a little and with level heads we decided not to do anything (this is all post-divorce). When we talked about it later, he kept hitting on these notions of principles: I was his friends wife; we are too good of friends; sex changes everything, etc. etc.

Okay, I get it. He's a man of principle. Well, today, photos of him and my ex-husband's girl showed up on the internet, being all chummy chum!!! I know that he and my ex are still friends; however, when I saw those photos, I felt really betrayed. What happened to his principles? He has a problem with kissing me; yet he doesn't see how detrimental it is to flaunt around with the girl who replaced me? Am I overreacting? I just feel like my best friend, who knows pretty much all my deepest feelings, whether he wants to or not, has just stabbed me in the back. Like - hahaha Jenn. I mean, seriously...am I warranted in feeling this way?

    I do not think you are overreacting!!! I do beleve you have a right to feel betrayed, you told everything to him and he could have been honest to you from the beginning about his relationship with that girl. I am so sorry that you have had such bad luck with this so called friend.

    Yeah he stabbed you in the back. You need to find a new activity or friend to take your mind off of people who don't care about your feelings. Start caring more about yourself than them. It all sounds negative. I hear your inner strength though. You'll be ok. Just get it all out so you can put something better inside of you.

I guess not yeah he's man with principles a bunch of BULL s---... he only stop because of the Male Code 101 never sleep with your friends woman... If he wasn't cool with your Ex he would've slept with you.. trust me on this...
