I (21M) recently broke up with my gf of 3 years lets call her Mori. We have been fighting for over a year at this point and it reached a tipping point in where she cheated. Anyway fast forward 2 months I have been planning to message someone I have a history with. Let's call her Mela.

Now here comes the confusing context.

1. We all met in 7th grade
2. My circle of friends often hangout with Mela's circle of friends as we were all really close during 7th-9th grade.
3. Mori and I are in the same circle.
4. Mori and Mela were really good friends.
5. Mori had a crush on me since 7th grade and Mela was 10000% aware of this fact.

2019-2020

So During 9th grade, Mela out of the blue started being really close to me, and we both started to develop feelings for each other, Mori reasonably was upset with Mela as, but our whole dynamic only lasted 5 months.

Fast forward to 2022

Mori confessed her feelings for me again, saying she never truly let go of me. Eventually we started dating. Our whole friend group was very excited at the news and things were going great.

2025- present day

Mori and I have been fighting for over a year and it came to a tipping point... I was obviously devastated and life sucked for a while, eventually I told a friend I trusted from way back when. Let's call her Kat. Kat and Mela are really really really close like sisters. I explained a good chunk of the story to her. Fast forward to the past few days. I worked up the courage to talk to Mela to clear the air of everything that has happened over the past 6 years. We had a 9 hour detailed conversation about our lives since 2020. And eventually she offered that we could be friends again. I thought this would be the start of mending my very complicated past. But last night I received the worst news I could.

Present day context:
Mela has a cousin let's call her Diane
Her cousin has a boyfriend who hangs out a lot with a friend I consider my brother(call him Tom).

Continue:
Last night Tom messaged me that Mela told diane about our conversation and it turns out Mori reached out to Kat a few months ago and told her the complete story. Since now they found out I left out details of the breakup. Word is on the street that I am tarnishing Mori's image by telling about our breakup without proper context.

It's only a matter of time before this really blows up and my circle of friends find out what the hell is going on. I know they are good people and will listen to me when I get to explain. I just don't have the mental fortitude at the moment to explain myself when all I've done for the past few months is explain myself.

This is a reupload: My previous post I took down due to people complaining about not using proper names.

tl;dr: I messaged a girl I have a history with and my friends are about to find out
