Chris516 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I(45yrs.-old) have an online friend(31yrs.-old), that I have known for ten years. But ever since her health crisis last month, chatting with her on Yahoo IM, makes me feel like I am walking around on eggshells. Even though it is just an online friendship, medically, we have individually been through so much. While I am engaged to another woman, and my online friend is dating another guy that she has known for a year. She: Leukemia(diagnosed as a teen) Epilepsy(diagnosed during health crisis) Hydrocephalus(diagnosed during health crisis) Me: Brain Aneurysm(congenital) Hydrocephalus(congenital, caused by aneurysm) Epilepsy(caused by surgeries for first two health problems) I am not jealous of him, even though I love her as a friend. He is jealous of me, initially because of how long my friend n' I have known each other. Now he is jealous because my friend n' I have two medical conditions in common. He has even threatened, to keep her from contacting me. She is contacting me. But the conversations are very reserved. We used to be honest n' open, and even held each other accountable. Now, It feels like there is a wall between us. I wish I was just dreaming this, instead. She is the best friend I have ever had. I never had any friends in school. So this friendship means a lot to me. Sometimes(since the surgery) it feels like she doesn't care.
