I Found My Best Friend in Bed with My Ex-But It Wasn't What You Think

Okay, buckle up, because this is going to be a bumpy ride. You know how people say "truth is stranger than fiction"? Yeah, this is one of those moments.

So, a bit of backstory: I (29F) broke up with my ex, Let's Call him Derek(30M), about a year ago. It was mutual...ish. By "mutual," I mean I found out he was cheating on me with some random girl he met at work. Classic, right? Anyway, my best friend, Tiffany (26F), was my rock through it all. She even gave Derek the ultimate stink eye every time we bumped into him around town. Total ride-or-die.

Fast forward to last weekend. Tiffany invites me over to her place for a movie night, and I show up with a few snacks in hand. The door's unlocked, so I let myself in. That’s when I hear it—laughter. But not just any laughter. It’s Tiffany’s laugh, mixed with my ex's

I storm into her bedroom, ready to throw down, and what do I find? Both of them… in bed… wearing medieval armor. Yep. Full-on chainmail, helmets, swords on the floor, the whole deal.

Apparently, they’re part of some underground LARP (Live Action Role Play) group, and Derek was her "squire" for the weekend’s event. They were practicing a dueling technique in her room because Derek had "forgotten his honor" in the tournament earlier that day.

Now, here’s where it gets even weirder. They weren’t alone. In the corner of the room, there was a taxidermied raccoon wearing a tiny wizard hat. Tiffany casually explains it’s their guild’s "mascot" and whoever wins the duel gets to keep it for the week.

I’m standing there, snacks in hand, trying to process this madness, when Derek turns to me and says, “Wanna join our guild? We need someone to play the bard.”

Long story short, I said no. But now I can’t stop thinking about that stupid raccoon wizard.

What would you have done, Reddit? Because I still feel like I walked into some sort of fever dream or I was high or smth.

P.S. I'm not on drugs. 🤡
