NotEvenClose Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Sorry this is so long... I'm not really sure whay i'm writing this, I guess i'm just curious hearing what other people would think. And because I love typing when i'm stressed. Well, i've known this one guy, Drake, for atleast 3 years now, maybe more. We were friends for the most part, but we always knew that it was some what more than that. Well, about 7 months ago, we finnaly let it all out. I was so happy with him, and I never had any problems with our relationship at all, except for the part that he lived on the other side of town, so it was irritating not to get to see him all the time. But, basically, things were really good. He was such a smart kid, he was the very first person I had ever met at my age that I could sit down with, and talk about anything I wanted too, and he would actually CARE. We would talk on the phone for hours. lol. Well, things started to change. His parents had just split up, which everyone new was a very good thing. He was a horrible person, and Drake and his brother were so happy to get him out of there problems. But what was supposed to be a really great thing, turned into a bad one. His mom had never gotten to do anything fun with her sad excuse of a husband tying her down, so once she was free, she took it way too much to her advantage. She was partying every single night, getting wasted, and spending way too much time with her knew boyfriend. And of course, she wasn't paying any attention to Drake and his brother. So..... Drake sort of flipped out too. He changed so much. He didn't talk about interesting things anymore, just about..... something the average teenage boy would be interested about, and I was so disapointed. And his moms cool new rockstar boyfriend gave him tips on how to be ''cool''. He took him shopping to get the ''right'' clothes, gave him a guitar, and told him that he should cheat on girls as much as he could. Well, Drake wanted to have fun too, so he took all of these helpful little tips, and left me behind in the dust. He cheated on me. The first time he did, he called me up crying his eyes out, real tears, no way he could have faked that, and I knew that he was sorry. I took him back. He did it again. He always hit on other girls. He became disgustingly popular, and had girls, all over him. This went on, until he eventualy got bored of me, I guess. He couldn't do it, so he had his mothers friend chew me out on IM, telling me what a horrible excuse of a human being I was, leaving me in tears. We eventually tore apart from eachother, which was very, very hard for me. I could never discribe how much I loved him. We talked every now and then on myspace, and a few times on the phone. It really sounded like he didn't 'hate' me, just way too involved in being.... idk, awsome or something. But now it's been quite along time sence i've talked to him. I called today. His mom picked up the phone. I asked if he was there, and she said, yeah hold on. There was a pause, then she quickly said, 'Oh, I forgot, he just left, bye.', and hung up. I'm not really sure what to do. I would much rather be his friend than just a memory. But now...... he doesnt tell me anything. I don't know whats going on in his mind, and i'm not sure if I should stick around, but be quiet about it..... or just...... leave him alone all for good.
norajane Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Stick around for what, exactly? Friendship is a two-way street. And it doesn't sound like he's all that interested in making an effort to be a friend to you. You forgave him for all that cheating and he what? Had his mom break up with you and insult you over IM? These are not the actions of a friend.
Double D Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Agree with norajane. Relationships are a two way thing and you deserve to be treated much more respectfully. Think about how good a person you are and think - you know what I deserve better than this. So as hard as it may sound, let him go. He is obviously going through his own thing in life at the moment, let him get on with it and you do your own thang.
