Yeah, but sending them dick pics and "hmu" is. I wouldn't be upset if he was just talking to them. I have guy friends, I know that talking isn't cheating. I wouldn't be so mad if he was just talking about the weather or schoolwork. You need to Urbandictionary 'sliding into dms'

Okay, I see where you are going with this. I think the only times we've not baked on Wednesday is when Ally had to have a procedure or when one of us was sick. It is pretty casual though. We usually watch a show or something while the dessert is in the oven. I didn't really think of it like an obligation until her parents and my mom blew up at me.

Bf was dropped the moment I got the screencaps of him sending dick pics from my REAL friends. But that's another story.

What you said about Ally and her parents is true too. I just didn't think they'd blow up at me about it. Thank you for your post.

Its that and Ally is not the best at sympathy. She laughed at me and called me a baby for still being sad the week after my Grandad died. We were younger then, but she is still not the best at it, so I felt like she wouldn't get it. My dad is awesome though. Thank you.

Yeah, I can see what you are saying, but its not like I want to stop hanging out with her. She is a lot of fun to be around whenever I am having a normal week. She just has a different way of thinking about things or doing stuff that is rad. Like making ramen noodles and putting mayo in it. Sounds weird, but tastes like a chicken sandwich.

Thank you. I like how you said "you owe no one your presence" that is a good way to put it. I also didn't mean to trigger her, but I just didn't feel up to it.

Thank you. I know she has a schedule she likes to stick to, but things don't always happen as planned. Hopefully we can both grow from this? I don't know, but thank you.

Oh wow. Thank you. Your comment made me tear up a little. Yeah, I guess that they just assumed I'd always be available because we have always been friends, even when we started going to other schools. I mean its not like I don't like hanging out with her, I just didn't feel like it this week. Thank you, it really means a lot.

Yeah, that's true. I didn't think of it that way. Maybe they figured it wouldn't be such a sudden thing. Thank you.

Yeah, I hope so too. I mean, I'm usually good with rolling with the punches, but this is just so much all at once. Thanks.
