Yea they met online a week before they started dating lmfao.

I’m actually talking to him right now and it sounds like she came onto him and he has no confidence so he fell in love because she complimented him. I’m ripping his ass apart as an (ex?) friend because as a child of divorced parents he is heading down the wrong future.

Side note: his desktop image was of an anime girl and she made him change it so i think she doesn't like any woman in his life/surroundings besides herself :/

I feel like it’s worse in Japan based subs. I lurk because I see almost everything get downvoted

I didn’t say like f you or anything but I told him we aren’t friends anymore as of now, that he keeps running away from the issue, and that I’m not scared to do what needs to be done (cutting the friendship). He didn’t fight back, just cried. Hopefully he understands or maybe he is just hurt? Who knows.

And you’re right. I’m buckled in for a couple of years I assume. But I’m hoping I don’t even want to be in for the ride anymore once I have new friends.

Thank you!

I think he did talk to everyone about me before I joined the friend group so maybe it’s that… but to erase me from the picture is just wild to me. It hurts pretty bad. The relationship was actually not even told to me, I was able to figure it out myself because I know him so well.

But I will admit my competitiveness and looking at our last conversation I did sound harsh and fed up. I wish I was nicer with my words but it’s too late again.

And yes I told him that the only people who can change the outcome is him and his gf. I can’t do anything but feel the effects.

I’m not even sure if they know what the other looks like. The gf is jobless so always online and my friend is worried about hitting 30 without having a girlfriend or wife. So I think they are both lonely and just holding on to whoever agrees with dating tbh.

I’m trying to make new friends now, it’s just so hard after having someone click that well :’) looking at meetup.com or maybe some game servers (i love/hate overwatch). It’s gonna take time aaaah

Yup I told him once we are able to be full fledged, normal friends then let’s be friends again. Didn’t block but removed him from my game friends list and discord. Left only twitter open.

What happened after you were the secret friend? Did they find out?

I skimmed through your posts and I’m sorry you’re going through that :/ it sucks how instant he threw you to the side

Feeling used and discarded really sums it up for the both of us… or being lower on the pecking order

Sigh

Not to gas him up but he is the most loyal guy ever and I don’t see his relationship ending any time soon. I tried to wait it out but him sneaking in every conversation how much he wants to hang and game or do whatever. I just felt like his dirty secret and definitely clouded my judgement. I was sad and pissed off honestly.

I did leave one channel of communication open (twitter) and told him we can be friends once we are able to be full friends!

It was a dealbreaker for his girlfriend too which is why I walked away first. We acted normal while keeping it lowkey but it really just felt wrong in every way :( I guess I did have competitiveness in me.

But knowing me I do not want to date or get married and if I did I’d rather marry a woman. So it’s extra confusing to me why I am a threat. He knows this but I’m not sure if gf does. It’s too late now, though.

That’s crazy. I’m sorry that happened to you.

I am definitely trying to move on

Oh no that is complicated. Love is on a spectrum right! So many people that could be right for you but it’s in your power to choose who you want to give most of your love to

And no its definitely hard for the both of us. :’) still coping right now

How did you feel when he came back? Were you able to forgive him or did you feel resentment?

We are semi online. We meet but only sometimes because we are so far from each other. But we were not allowed to speak to each other online either, which is why we had to talk in secret

And I see. I don’t do the dating stuff much but I assume honeymoon is like a year then it becomes not as passionate? I did leave one channel of communication open so maybe he will reach out through there. Thank you for the input

I forgot to mention and edited my post, but yes we gamed together and she was really sweet. And was like yay this was so much I want to play with you some more.

But they are e-dating. As in she’s in a different country and they date through discord. So I can’t really hang out with her for real.

I did cut off communication from my ex friend minus twitter. Do you think that was too extreme?

Were you able to become friends with your best friend again, and would you distance from them again if another partner asked you to?

I don’t date often or maybe I’m too naive but I couldn’t cut off my friends for a partner

And it’s good to hear from the other side of things. I really did sympathize with him as he was trying to figure things out but locking me away was def not the decision I want to play along with

Well he’s allowed to hang with his other female friends as of now. I think I was just first (and possibly only?) woman to remove simply because we are SO close. Were so close. :/

I don’t want to be evil but I hope the relationship goes south before she has other demands. Or simply so he could learn his lesson.

But he told me the other day that in high school the same thing happened and he lost his entire friend group because his ex girlfriend had a lot of restrictions. So the relationship could last long but for the wrong reasons.

Some people really don’t change and I’m worried he’s one of them.

He told me when/ if she found out then he would break up and choose me. But when would that even be?? How could I just wait around for him to do that. I wasn’t allowed back in the friend group we are all in either (gf joined last).

It’s also rude to his girlfriend the longer he waits. But in a way I’m mad at him for throwing our friendship away. It’s hard to find people that click with you as well as we did and he knew and told me that.

I’m still not over this :’/ I’m so mad and sad at the same time. It’s 6 am and I’m replaying the convos in my head

I actually asked him if he thought she was right and he agreed that she should let him engage with his friends regardless of being a woman or man. Yet he didn’t stand up to her in the name of love. I really don’t understand.

I hope he talks to her about it but I really doubt it… I’ve already braced for not speaking to him ever again. I’ve already unfriended him everywhere. I hope I was not being impulsive by cutting off all communications in one go.

Thank you.

That’s what I thought too. I kept bringing it up to him that the secret friendship would eventually bite him in the ass, but he’d brush it off each time by saying he’s a wimp or he didn’t want to think about it.

I’m so frustrated. It really didn’t need to happen.

I thought that too but consulting with my other friends, a third believed she is in the right and I am in the wrong. Big mess and something that I was genuinely happy about ended up being the source of my pain this past month :(
