Lesbian Couple Discovers They Both Have the Same Ex-Girlfriend

In a bizarre turn of events, a lesbian couple recently discovered that they both had dated the same woman prior to meeting each other. The couple, Emma and Sarah, had been together for two years when they stumbled upon the shocking revelation.

"We were scrolling through Facebook together and came across a picture of my ex-girlfriend," said Emma, 26. "I made a joke about how I couldn't believe I used to date someone who would wear cargo shorts, and Sarah looked at me like she had just seen a ghost."

As it turns out, Sarah had also dated Emma's ex-girlfriend, who had moved to London shortly after their breakup.

"I couldn't believe it," said Sarah, 29. "I had dated this girl for six months and had no idea that she had also dated Emma. It was such a strange coincidence."

The couple immediately began to compare notes, and realized that their relationships with the same woman had overlapped for several months. Emma and Sarah had even been at the same party together with their ex-girlfriend, but had never met.

"We just laughed about it at first, but then things started to get weird," said Emma. "We were both telling stories about our ex-girlfriend, and we realized that they were almost identical. We had both thought we were special, but it turned out she had been using the same moves on both of us."

The couple began to feel uncomfortable about the situation, and decided to confront their ex-girlfriend. When they did, however, they discovered that she had already moved on to someone else.

"It was almost like she had planned it," said Sarah. "She knew that we were both in London, and she knew that we were both gay. It's almost like she was trying to create her own little lesbian drama."

The experience has left Emma and Sarah feeling confused and a little betrayed, but they are determined not to let it ruin their relationship.

"It's just a weird coincidence," said Emma. "We love each other, and that's all that matters. Plus, now we have a great story to tell at parties."

The situation that Emma and Sarah found themselves in is not uncommon in the LGBTQ+ community. With a smaller dating pool, it's not unusual to find yourself dating someone who has dated someone else you know.

"Lesbian bed death is one thing," said relationship expert and author Jen Cavanaugh. "But finding out that your girlfriend has also dated your ex-girlfriend is a whole other level of awkward."

According to Cavanaugh, the best thing to do in a situation like this is to be honest and open with your partner.

"If you find out that your girlfriend has dated someone you know, it's important to have a conversation about it," said Cavanaugh. "Be open about your feelings, and try not to let it become a bigger deal than it needs to be. And remember, just because your girlfriend has dated your ex doesn't mean she wants to be with her instead of you."

For Emma and Sarah, the experience has brought them closer together.

"We joke about it now," said Sarah. "Whenever we meet someone new, we always ask if they've dated our ex-girlfriend too."

Despite the initial shock, Emma and Sarah are happy to have found each other, even if it was through a strange coincidence.

"It's almost like fate brought us together," said Emma. "We may have had the same ex-girlfriend, but we have something special that she could never replicate."
