By some heaven-knows-how coincidence, I earned a reputation for snatching people’s boyfriends. I never understood it. I’ve always been the kind of girl my friends would hide their boyfriends from.

They said I was a boyfriend snatcher because, strangely enough, their boyfriends would often develop interest in me after meeting me. I don’t know how I’m to be blamed for that, but they did. Funnily enough, I never had interest in any of them, and I never did anything extraordinary to make them feel that way. It still baffles me, so I’ve always tried to stay clear of them.

Now, the situation at hand is this—I’m currently in a beautiful relationship with a man who happens to be my best friend’s ex. And here’s what actually happened.

She left him for another man, someone who was my friend. I introduced them one day, and they hit it off instantly. I tried talking to her about it, but she turned against me and blamed me for the whole thing, saying I set her up. That was when her ex started reaching out to me. He wanted me to talk to her, and I did, but she didn’t listen.

At the time, I was also in a relationship that felt like I was dating myself. He didn’t care a hoot about me. I ended it, and somehow, I started talking more with my friend’s ex. We liked each other’s company, and eventually, we took things further.

Before I accepted his proposal, I sat her down and told her plainly, “Friend, I like your ex. He likes me too, and he’s proposed. I’m saying yes.” She didn’t seem to care. In fact, she encouraged me to go ahead. But after some time with him, I kept asking myself: how could she leave such a good guy? What was she looking for that she didn’t find in him?

Now, she is back into the picture. Things didn’t work out with the man she left him for, and now she wants her ex back: my man. She’s started calling and texting him, saying she still loves him and wants him back. He tells me everything. We’re open like that. And even though I still love her and wish we could be close again, I know it’s impossible now.

She’s been going around telling people I snatched her man. People make me feel bad for dating my best friend’s ex. They say it wasn’t a coincidence that I introduced her to the other man, that I planned it all just to take her place. But I didn’t. I didn’t think things would turn out this way. I’m happy with him, and I genuinely don’t know how to prove that I’m not a boyfriend snatcher. I didn’t plan any of this.

So I keep asking myself: did I do anything wrong by dating him?
