Bitter much?

I thought about quoting your next reply but yeah no, you need therapy.

no thanks

I have enough friends

Something went pretty wrong if the girl and I aren't together anymore.

Why would I want to remain friends in that situation?

Did you consciously change something, or was it more of just a personal evolution with age?

Well, the person who commented that didn’t give me the impression things went sour. He just said “if he couldn’t have her.” I could be wrong.

My problem is not being able to leave well enough alone. Nothing I finish is ever quite right, could have been done better. It's a fixit compulsion. I waste more time with that crap. But I'm getting better about it.

Well, obviously it was his fault.



I get the impression he wasn’t was she wanted romantically but she saw something in him to want to remain friends but since he can’t have what’s it is he wants, he’s burning that bridge.

Or, maybe that BITCH does have an ulterior motive?

Nah, I'm pretty well balanced. It's not like I'm saying a man can't love/be friends with his mother, sister, daughter, or nice little old ladies. It's just that small subset of ~8 years +\- his own age where all of this emotional jockeying is going on that is the problem.

The fact is it's hard for most guys to hold anything approaching a relationship with a woman in that range (who's not related) without there being some sexual tension. Let's be real here for a moment: would you be comfortable with your husband/bf (I assume you're female) going and grabbing a few beers after work with a good looking female coworker? Most of the women I know wouldn't. Not because the man himself might not be trustworthy, but they know on an instinctive level that men generally only do that with women they're interested in. It's basic human nature.

Women who play the friendzone game know this as well, and they play it to their advantage. That's fine, men play their own games to get what they want (i.e. Sex), but it doesn't make eithers' actions any less shitty.

She dumped me and for months we still hung out. She would call me in the middle of the night wanting me to come over, but nothing would ever happen. She finally moved back home and would want to back and see me on weekends. Part of those weekends she would would go see some other guy. Once I started putting 2 and 2 together, I called her out it. She denies everything thing, but I eventually sad enough was enough.

I hung around longer than I probably should’ve mainly because I had grown very fond of her kid. He never knew his dad, and I was the only one there for him besides his mom since he was 18 months old. Finally had to cut ties when he was 4 when he started to call me Dad and his mom was pulling her bs. That’s what hurt the most about it.

Well said and I see your point. Not knowing the full story, I was only see things from my point of view. I do tend to see the world through Rosé colored glasses
