It's ego forreal.
I used to work with this dude, and me and him were cool af. Still are.
We not in the same circle no more cuz I kinda fell back after leaving the job and getting married n all that. But every time I saw this nigga it was all love. Last time I saw him might have been a couple years, but it was during that time when everybody was doing those freeze challenges. They did one at his house, an it was mad folk from the old job. So I went by when I got off work at 2am...
It was dumb late, most people left or was sleep, but it was still a bunch of them still up and chilling, so I hung out for like an hour before going home.
I said all that to say this. For a good while, his main girl was a chick I messed with maybe a year or two before they got together.
Was it akward at times? A little. But not enough for anyone to make an issue of it. I mean I never made an issue. And I don't think they did. I hope to God they didn't, cuz it really wasn't that serious.
The only way that's a problem with everyone acting mature is ego. Like I never felt any kind of way about homie wiring shorty up.... She was a damn good chick. Cute as hell, mad intelligent. All that.
Like me and homie was cool as shit, and I wouldn't fault him or any of my homies for scooping up a good chick like her.
But if they didn't, cuz they knew I messed with her a few times... That's on them. I understand. But it's ego.
The only reason it would ever be an issue is if the person in the relationship made it an issue because their ego created a conflict.
I think most normal people would never try to dump on two good people who want to be in a relationship.
That's considering both the chick you smashed and your boy are both good people.
