KittenMoon Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 A few days ago, I sent a msg via MySpace to my exbf's best friend. He & I have not spoken since just after the break up, and while we were friends for the whole time my ex & I were together, our relationship did not, to me, seem especially close. The msg was a simple coding question (he's a comp whiz), but lo and behold he sends me back an answer, and starts saying how much he misses talking to me. A msg later, he says I was one of the best girls he ever knew, and he wanted to talk to me via AIM. He also hinted at some "secrets". Intrigued, I of course AIMed him. Suddenly, I find him POURING his heart out to me about problems with his long-time gf (we all went to college together). I won't go into the issues, but suffice it to say it's a story worthy of LS infamy. I was amazed he could admit the whole thing to me. The worst part is knowig he did this because he was basically DESPERATE to talk to someone about it. No one else knows the problem except one other old friend far away, long removed from the scene. None of his current friends, not my ex, etc. In response, I imparted much of the knowledge learned from experience and from LS. It broke my heart, knowing he's so hurt. But I have to admit it makes me feel good he thinks highly enough of me to confide. I had occasionally had some really uncomfortable passing thoughts that all my ex's close friends I shared years of my life with had written me off as nothing more than a generic ex-girlfriend. My point is, it made me feel good to know that, at least to one person familiar to my situation, I'm still a respected person, not an "ex", the "b*tch", or long forgotten. He also confessed to me he has always had a little crush on me. Never in a million years would I have guessed this. He said, I'm not sure how you'll take that. I told him thank you and I'll take it the way he said it, as something nice. (I know where his heart lies, unfortunately for him...) I guess support and caring comes in some very strange and unexpected forms.
quankanne Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I imagine he's really grateful and happy that you provided him a listening ear, so you're prolly his bit of support and caring concern from an unusual source! And that's a great thing ...
