Im so distraught right now.

I feel so betrayed by a friend that I am in love with. We talk online mostly, some on the phone as well. We are very close. For those you who remember me from last night, I am talking about the same guy. Some weeks we are best friends. And there are nights like tonight where he stops talking to me in mid conversation and walks off leaving me to think I have done something wrong. He has done this to many many times before. Its hard to let him go. I am in horrible pain right now knowing I need to delete him out of my life. Its so hard cause there are times when I feel on top of the world cause he can be an awesome best friend. And then there are moments when he treats me like crap..as if my feelings really don’t exist. I know the obvious answer here is to rid him out of my life and move on. He has been my constant companion for over a year. I am so scared. I have never felt more alone.. I know I have painted him to be a jerk and while a lot of times he can be, he can also be a great friend (at times). Do I just learn to accept that this is him..that this is just his personality and learn to be ok with the times he breaks my heart. Or am I supposed to say “see ya”

Whispernova,
I’m not surprised you feel hurt.
To feel like your closest friend is casting you aside is the worst.
You just have to decide whether you want to put up with it anymore.
In the end, you have to think about yourself and about your needs.
There are ups and downs in all relationships, but if this has been happening for a while you have to do something about it otherwise you will keep feeling down.
Naturally we are scared of being isolated, and if he is your closest friend you will feel even more so.
Build up your relationships with your other friends so that you are not completely alone.
You don’t have to cast him out of your life forever.
If you still want to associate with him, it may be good just to take a break from each other for a while so you can sort yourself out.
But like I said, the way you feel should be the most important.
You have to know what you want and what you need.
I’m sorry your friend has hurt you, I know exactly how you feel.
And while you may feel horrible because you aren’t talking to each other that much any more, you won’t keep on feeling hurt and alone as much as you do now.
It is your choice, but I hope this helps a little.
Chin up! I’m always here if you need to talk.
-Crazy ♥

Arguements are part of life, we work through them and it makes us stronger. Talk with him to get him to understand how you feel and try to see how things are from his point of view.

Thanks both of you. THats comforting. I really do appreciate it. I am still at such a loss and I am wondering if I should go to bed. I have a typed up email to send to him basically saying good-bye. I feel like I just need to do this and get it over with. But I am so scared. I have no idea if I am making the right choice here.

You need to know that you are making the right choice before you do anything otherwise things will turn out badly.
Do you know what you want for yourself?
Take care,

Girl,

The answer is simple, if he treats you like this, he will carry on doing it in future, he is manipulating you commitment to you friendship. So he has alterior motives,He knows wery well that he is hurting you. That is exactly what he wants to do. He will continue doing it…get rid of him
