My Best Friend Was A Sidechick, But She Is Not At Fault

Stop blaming the other woman, start blaming the taken man.

My Best Friend Was A Sidechick, But She Is Not At Fault
Instagram | @nick__bateman

Yes, you read the headline right. My best friend was a side chick and she is not at fault.

But before you freak out about how being with a taken man is her fault, my best friend had no idea her man was already in a relationship. Unfortunately, she dealt with the world's biggest f*ckboy.

This f*ckboy slid into her DMs, and he was dark, tall, and handsome... everything my best friend had been searching for, and right after a messy breakup. I was ecstatic for her because he seemed like the right person for her, everything that she deserved.

However, soon after they began "talking," there were many red flags, including him sending her the wrong girls' names, not contacting her for days, never wanting to take pictures, and blocking her and never unblocking her on Instagram after an argument.

You may be thinking, how did she not realize something was up with him? If you have ever dealt with a f**kboy, you know that they can be the ultimate manipulator and that your excitement over a blossoming new relationship can blind you from seeing the red flags.

After about six months of "talking," but him never making it official, my friend was on her Finsta and her boy showed up in her suggestions. Keep in mind she's still blocked on her main account and then she sees in his bio 4/4/17 and a heart emoji with initials next to it.

She sends him the screenshot and asks him what this means, his literal response was "Yeah, I have a girl. Is that a problem?"

IS. THAT. A. PROBLEM.

Uh, yes, f*ckboy that is a problem. It is a problem that you wasted six months of my best friend's life — a girl who did not deserve this.

It is a problem that you told my best friend you "loved" her, but were in a relationship.

It is a problem you still have a girlfriend of 10 months, who has no idea that you are a cheater.

It is a problem you do not realize it is a problem.

Yes, my best friend was a side chick, and she is not at fault because she had no idea and I know she would never be involved with someone with a girlfriend if she knew.

To all the girls out there who have had to deal with a f*ckboy (or multiple), do not worry there are plenty of nice boys and you will find yours. And to my best friend's f*ckboy, I would expose you and post the screenshots she has (yes, I am that petty), but after careful consideration, I realize that karma will get you in the end.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
