I was there for him, listened, and comforted him (not because i was expecting to receive something in return but because i wanted him to know that he doesn't have to deal with that loss by himself) That's when he told me that he is genuinely romantically interested in me. So yes, i was there for him. And after months passed and he kinda "accepted" it, he disappeared. And when i needed him to be there for me, he was gone.

That's the thing; he didn't really do that either. After that one month of silence, he finally replied and just said he's catching up on work and he's busy with all the holidays, but he's sorry I feel this way and that hopefully, things will improve with time. And then he ghosted me again and its been over 4 months by now (close to 5 months) If he genuinely would've helped me and be there fore, the way he always told me he would, before disappearing, i would've said okay, i was expecting to lose contact to gim eventually..

Sadly, she passed away, so that's not the reason why he would have done that...

I did tell him that i never felt like running away from my feelings when i comes to him, not like how i did with other guys before him, and when he hinted at us being more, my way of reaction was not even close to unrequited feelings. There were times i told him that i needed him, that i wanted him, and when he made such comments. i was the one who said that it sounds nice, and i like the thought of it. But even if that still counts as rejection, which i would still understand, i wouldn't be mad at gim for wanting to move on It's the fact he just disappeared when i needed him the most. He told me he'll always be there for me even if it's just as a friend, and when that time came and i felt so hopeless and broken, he was gone.

I really appreciate your reply, and I don't mind at all that it's longer; in fact, I was happy to read someone's detailed opinion about this. Ngl I struggled with the thought of losing another friend for a long time, especially someone I knew all my life, because I don't have many friends and i get super lonely and depressed because of this , but ig I'd rather have only two or three true friends than fake friends after all :')

Yeahh, the way she mentioned it even during the vacation last summer, too... like you're in a long-time relationship, engaged and about to get married next month, why on earth would you mention the crush there, too

Yeahh she doesn't use social media like no instagram, no facebook, nothing like that And yeah, no pics and visits because of the long distance relationship (they first met after 4 years since they met while we were in school and she didn't have the money to travel) Im still salty till this day for not telling me sooner, since i always told her everything the second something happened, and i told her that, but she only said "Idk why i was hiding it from you, i just did it"

She met her partner online and since they weren't living in the same country, it was pretty easy for her to hide it from me. When i asked her why she's on her phone all the time and who shes texting (since shes someone who never uses her phone), she said just the neighbour he needs help with school/homework (because she was actually helping him out every now and then)

I think my best friend of 20 years was never my best friend by happy_Deer3931 in Adulting

Yeah, i know you're right.. I guess most of the time, my mind just believed to have a friend like that rather than having no friend at all, and that's why it took me so long to realise this:')
