Mya, who posts under the handle @themyab, tells the story of a friend whose interest in her boyfriend grew steadily after they began dating. It hit its highest point when the friend messaged her to ask for ice cream.
At first, Mya did not care for her best friend following her boyfriend online or having his Snapchat information. She hoped the two people closest to her would get along. Her opinion shifted after she saw her friend talking about her boyfriend without stop and commenting on his posts.
“He Was All We Would Talk About”
Mya’s First Warning Signs
Mya said she noticed the behavior before anyone else pointed it out. She said she had started seeing her friend’s interest, but her boyfriend initially told her she might be overthinking it. He changed his mind after receiving a Snapchat message from Mya’s best friend asking whether he wanted to get ice cream with her.
The boyfriend sent Mya a screenshot of the message, leaving her surprised by her friend’s behavior. Mya said she eventually asked viewers whether she was overreacting to her friend’s behavior. Many commenters said they understood why she was uncomfortable with the situation.
What TikTok Commenters Said
The story prompted a discussion among TikTok users about boundaries between friends and their friends’ partners. One commenter shared her own experience, writing, “Maam. I didn’t even follow my bestie’s man back on TikTok when he followed me. Bc NO THATS MY GIRL & that’s HER mans.”
She noted that she had never tracked any of her friends’ boyfriends unless she was already acquainted with them, and that she would not have engaged with their posts in the same manner.
Other Women’s Similar Stories
A second person was brought into the group by “Wait, this same exact thing happened to me. He told me right away when it was obvious and showed me her text. He called her out and we both blocked her. I didn’t even waste a word on her,”.
A single woman composed a message in which she quoted another person, saying “Oh girl, I had a girl do the same thing, but she kissed him because she wanted to understand our relationship better.”.
Support for Mya’s Boyfriend
Some commenters were happy to see how supportive her boyfriend was, not letting this woman come between their relationship. “That’s such a good bf,” one commenter shared. Another added, “We love a loyal bf.”
The Ice-Cream Message
Mya was taken aback by a message asking to get ice cream together. At first, she did not believe her friend was interested in her boyfriend. Then the friend started talking about him nonstop.
Mya mentioned that she saw the behavior herself, though her boyfriend first told her she was probably reading too much into things. He changed his position once he got a Snapchat message from Mya’s best friend asking if he wanted to get ice cream with her.
Verification Limitation
Mya’s account of the events comes from her post on TikTok, where she uses the handle @themyab. The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the details of her story. She did not name her friend or offer outside confirmation of the exchanges she described.
How Commenters Responded
Some commenters said they understood why Mya felt uncomfortable. A number of them offered support for her boyfriend’s actions instead. Still others shared personal stories about friends who had developed romantic feelings toward their partners.
Boundaries matter, and this tale proves it. A companion can offer real support, yet a companion who desires your partner is quite another matter entirely. Mya’s boyfriend demonstrated loyalty by showing her the message.
