Confessions

My brother had an affair with my best friend. He was surprised to learn I don't talk to my best friend anymore.

There is so much context needed here lol. So, I (19F) befriended someone during my senior year of high school. They were new to my school, and I decided to let them into my friend group. I'll call them Jack. We became extremely close, like dynamic duo close lol. We had a group name and everything. But Jack had a chance meeting with my older brother (21M). We'll call him Dan. They became very close, but literally all of our friends felt like something was off.

Dan had a girlfriend of almost 5 years. Dan and Jack were doing things like holding hands, spinning hugs, sappy compliments, the whole 9 yards. Dan told his girlfriend it was just a close friendship. It all blew up when Jack gave me a bag of brownies to deliver to Dan. I already knew something was weird, so I opened the bag. It contained a SEVEN PAGE, FRONT TO BACK, LOVE LETTER. TO MY BROTHER, IN A RELATIONSHIP.

I won't include all the details because they disgust me, but there were small doodles of them kissing and things like that. Felt nauseous. Anyway, I told Jack that we couldn't ever fix this, and we stopped talking because DUH.

Dan finally dumped his girlfriend, and started bringing Jack over to our house (we both live with our mom). My mom is amazing, so she told Dan to ask if I was comfortable with Jack being in my house. Dan goes "wait.. why would she be uncomfortable with Jack?"

.. This man didn't know that his affair completely ruined our friendship. We haven't talked in years, and I hate them both. But this clueless fucking moron thought that everything was hunky dory or something??? Fucking idiot. Clueless, ridiculous, insane dumb ass. How do you ruin so many relationships and be completely clueless to it??? I'm sorry for ranting, I just don't know who else to talk to.

EDIT: I'm so angry because I was friends with Dan's girlfriend, and I had to be the one to tell her whenever they did something disgusting together. That is forcing me into the situation. And Jack would constantly talk about how in love he was with my brother, even after I set clear boundaries.

Edit #2: I'm not mad that they're gay?? I'm mad because of the affair. I'm bad at writing so I'm sorry if I didn't get my point across: I HATE BOTH OF THEM IN EXTREMELY EQUAL MEASURE. IM NOT MAD THAT THEYRE GAY, IM MAD THAT THEY DRAGGED ME INTO THEIR AFFAIR AGAINST MY FRIEND.
