Eh, maybe. He posted here, that doesn't mean he's being selfish. It's normal for a friend to feel hurt in that situation, doesn't mean he can't recognize that others in the guy's life are worse off.

How could anyone be so selfish? Why the frick didn't he call me if things were that bad?

In his mind, it wasn't selfishness that led to the act. Believe me. And again, from his point of view, the last thing he'd do is call someone close to him. Very, very difficult to understand or accept, but in his mind, not reaching out was the best solution for all.

Again, I'm giving just a bit of insight as to what was probably going on in his mind.

Don't beat yourself up. Grieve in your own way, as you should. And above all, may God bless you and all involved with love, grace and the strength to come to terms with this sad situation.

very sorry for your loss. I feel for your friend because he was obviously as low as someone can be mentally to follow through with the act. He was in extreme pain and now the roughly dozen+ people that were closest to him will be in excruciating pain for years and years to come. It is such a shitty situation. I've been there when loved ones could not stop crying before bed for years down the road feeling confused, sad, and angry. Every year for the rest of their lives when that date pops up will be heart wrenching and during every major event in their life they will cry and cry because they wanted that person to be there to share it with them. Everyone loses in this situation and I wouldn't wish it own my worst enemy.

The OP sounds like he's feeling more sorry for himself than his friend and his friend's widow.

"No one called me to tell me he died."

"He didn't tell me he was upset."

"He can't be in my wedding."

It's not about you, OP.

His post is all about how much he has been slighted by this suicide. Maybe he should be more understanding.

Of what? Dude's life is pretty wrecked by his buddy's suicide. That doesn't preclude him from recognizing his buddy obviously had issues and his family is suffering more than he is.

Austincajun,

You are the same guy that was posting last week about cheating on your SO. Women better keep their men happy or else.
I'm sure you will say now it was a big joke/troll etc etc

You seem like the selfish person kid.

Y'all are being really hard on this guy. He just found out TODAY that his best friend committed suicide. He is entitled to feel however he feels at the moment. A few months down the line, he might be able to rationalize the situation and get his emotions under control. But, give the guy a break.

OP, anger is a normal emotion to have. Especially with a suicide. Don't try to figure it out today. Just be there for his wife and family. As time passes, so will the anger. This will always hurt you, but what you're feeling right now today is normal and will pass. Prayers for his family and you.

Uh the OP is the one that posts here. His thread is about himself. Not anyone else.

Coming from someone who has had to deal with it. It's not worth being mad and rant on TD about. Man up and go see his wife and comfort her. Then go see his mom, dad and siblings. They'll feel comfort seeing his best friend. Imagine if they read this and see that you are mad at your friend and want to "beat the crap out of him." Nobody wants to read that sh!t. Pick your head up and go be support to everyone else. It sucks and it's hard and you feel little but in reality that is what your friend would want you to do. Good Luck.

My prayers are with you and him and his family.

Since you're such the professional stalker, why didn't you read the entire thread where I even said I was trolling and don't condone cheating? You can frick off too, I don't have time for asshats like you that want to run their mouths behind a keyboard.


For those of you trying to call me selfish, frick you too. Do you honestly believe for a second that I haven't thought about and reached out to his mother and now widow? I know what I'm dealing with is nothing compared to them and I'm not trying to make it as if I am. I'm dealing with my own emotions and made my post from my own personal standpoint. There's 0 reason for me to post on behalf of his wife and parents. None of them post here nor did he, non of you know them. It doesn't matter. I jotted down a few of the emotions running through my head.
Don't try to spin every freaking thing, but then again this is the OT.

The summer before my freshman year of college I was out with my three best friends and all of our other friends (kind of a clique within a group). We left the party in three separate cars, two of my best friends in one car. Those two were struck head on by a drunk driver and both died.

Three days later, during my friends' joint funeral and procession, my third and last best friend killed himself. He did not leave a note. He told his parents he couldn't go to the funeral and after they left to go he cut his wrists in the bathtub.

I was very angry for a while after that happened, then very depressed (hospitalized at one point), and then everything was okay after I made some new friends.

I still keep a "relic" from my friends, it is this little plastic bath duck that my friend found in his car when he bought it used. It was always on the dash of his car, and now it stays with me always. It went to Europe with me a few years later even.

TL,DR: It sucks and I've been angry at the same thing, but it gets better with time.

Sorry for your loss.

Yeah I know. Thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes I forget that a lot of people have dealt with suicide. Unfortunately it is more common than it should be.
