Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Thanks for the support guys..Lestat ;-)...and Hal, have not seen you in ages, good to know you are doing ok.

I slept a deep sleep yesterday and wasnt able to call Andy back..he didnt call here either though...I woke up naturally at 6:30am and the phone rang and it was Andy, saying that hes feeling suicidal and how he would never do it, but thats how he feels..he feels like hes in quick sand, just getting deeper and deeper in his problems..theres a big part of him that doesnt want to work..and a part of him that does....it was a heartbreaking call..he said he was mad at me that when he called earlier that I was hanging out with Matt...and he got sad that Im not out there...anyway...I have to get ready for work..will ttyl and update..have a good day..Brian
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Same here Brian...I still check in all the time to make sure everything's still cool...I still think you should tell Andy he won't have to work if he'll be the wife and make sure dinner's hot every night ;) No seriously, say it jokingly and watch him run with it. Even if he won't do it he'll enjoy talking about it, trust me.
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

CG-The next time I get a chance I will definitely do just that. ;)

Pretty much a drama free update here...My buddy and I have been talking yesterday and this morning(He called me at 6am my time)...and we stayed on for over 3 hours.

We talked mainly about our friendship and how great it is that we rarely argue or fight. And how its so cool how quick we became so close. (*8*)

We tried to recall any times that were were legitimately mad at each other and it wounded up being once for the both of us...I found it interesting that he never mentioned me being in love with him..guess he was never really bothered by that.

He mentioned he had a friend Dean that calls him Buddy too...and I was like NO WAY :eek: ..and hes like YES WAY(A little Wayne n Garth for you all)..and before you know it I was on the phone 3-way style with them (*S*) ...and sure enough the prick :? calls my Andy buddy... :soapbox:

He told me he finds it cute how mad I get over stuff like that..and he knows how it feels because he still gets mad about me and Matt..anyway the talk lasted a little over 3 hours and it was a sweet call..looking back on our friendship (UU) ...he was pretty nostalgic and I said buddy you must have been missing me tonight..he said bro I miss you every moment, not just tonight. We ended the call with him promising to call again soon...will update and ttyl guys..Brian *wave*

BTW-Happy Father's Day for all the daddies out there (group) ...and not the leather, ball gag in your mouth kind either [-X ...but then again there could be Daddy Daddies, those that have kids and leather :cowboy: ...so a big shout out to you all too (*8*)
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Hey there Brian, I haven't posted in here for a while, but I have followed your journey more intently than anything else I've ever found anywhere on the internet. I'm one of those sitting back in the Peanut Gallery (google it...) cheering you and Andy on.

I only have one observation that I don't *think* has been mentioned before (though I still never got a chance to read the posts between #101 and #550, inclusive). but I've noticed a number of times where you've been upset because Brian is spending time with her, or the newly-mentioned Dean who I don't remember seeing until your very most recent post. The fact that Andy has other friendships (intense ones) out there, is PART of the entire mix, and they have obviously not diminished his feelings toward you. You have said that Andy has had suicide cross his mind. You and he talk on the phone a lot, but you cannot actually touch or see each other, or even give as much as an in-person hug. It is altogether possible that Andy is THERE, AND ABLE to be in touch with you, BECAUSE he has these other friendships. As desperately as he misses you, what would happen if he also stopped spending time with his friends? That could possibly be too much for him to deal with - you cannot know, nor can any of us know, whether this could be the difference between suicide crossing his mind, and his potential of carrying it out. You two have been through too much for him to desert the intense friendship with you, and it's not going to change because he's spending time with Dean or his girlfriend. His freedom to live his own life while he's out west IS part of why he can continue to be such a marvelous friend to you.

However, it's still VERY important that you go out there in August, even if you're sure you're staying in New York. I think you're still planning on that, but I'm not entirely clear whether you still plan to visit at that time even if you stay in New York. However, because you're done with school, I'd say GO AHEAD and think about moving out there as soon as practical for you. The separation of distance is tremendously stressful for both of you, and being together would ease so much of this angst.

You may well need to make a decision about Matt, too. I have some strong forboding about the idea of Matt moving out west with you - perhaps a complete falling-out in all respects, making friendship with Matt OR Andy impossible. As important as the friendship with Matt is, I get the drift that you are FAR more fond of Andy. I strongly have the feeling (with near-100% confidence) that it would be utterly IMPOSSIBLE to sustain friendships with both Matt and Andy in Las Vegas.

These are just some of my ideas, and they may not fully jive with your situation, but keep hanging in there - August IS approaching fast! It seems like yesterday that it was four or five months away.

If anybody feels that I have given advice that may not be entirely appropriate or pertinent, PLEASE correct me. Though I think I have a pretty good understanding of the situation, I'm not the one who has to deal with the intensity of it all firsthand.

Looner-Thank you for the post, as it seems you have a decent understanding of what is going on..and you kind of hit on some points I wanted to talk about..especially with me and Andy, and what is going on.. ..|

He called last night...and we talked and talked..and then he got 2 call waitings...and he said it was his mom...I dont know what it was...or how I knew...but I KNEW he was lying :^o to me and I called him out on it..he begins to chuckle and say that it is Anthony calling :rolleyes: (a friend of his a while ago that moved down there before any of us did-Andy introduced me to him..and Anthony is the one that introduced me to drugs...Andy hates him for that and doesnt consider him a real friend but nonetheless hangs out with him :confused: ..Im convinced that hes also a bad influence on my buddy)

I got really, really upset :x ....said some bad things about Anthony..Andy said they were going to the gym.... =; whatever...I get irrationally upset and Andy thinks Im being a baby..but he thinks its "cute" because even thought Im being a baby, he thinks this shows how much I care for him as a friend...

I unwillingly hang up the phone with him because as Andy put it "He waiting outside I have to go"...

Night goes by..I wake up, walk Dante :-< , have breakfast..I get a call...

Its Andy..he cannot sleep..he had a nightmare that I died in it and that everyone we knew was laughing that I died.. (*U*)

Me..still smarting from last night and still hurt...was kind of cold to him at first...He said he misses me so much..I tell him "Yeah? For someone that misses me so much..you are doing a lot to keep me out here.." :grrr:

Hes like what? I said that me helping him out is doing both of us a bad thing..Its keeping me out here..and I told him at this point even if I did stop helping him financially..I still wouldnt have the means to come out there...he of course doesnt like to hear this..gets him upset..

He said that he doesnt like to tell me when or what he does with his friends out there..as it upsets me..I told him I dont know what Im more upset at..you telling me..or you lying to me about what you guys do just to spare my feelings..either way I told him Im sorry that Im putting him in a lose-lose situation...

Anyway we both settle down a little..and I tell him we need to talk more tonight...I need to solve this money situation with you..he goes what situation?..Im like jesus... :rolleyes:

He goes I got some plans for you to come out here.... :D

Im like OK..shoot.. :D

He goes its a little crazy...

And I grudgingly say..tell me.. #-o

Hes like well you can use your credit card just in the beginni... :wave: I shot him down right there....There is no way in HELL Im getting myself A)In more debt..and b)Spending money I dont have.

Idea #2-You give me some money, perhaps the money you are going to give me to help me..and maybe a little more..and Ill go into a Texas Hold Em tournament and try and win your money to come out here :##: ....At this point hes babbling on and on about the money he could win in poker..and while I should have shot him down sooner..I let him babble...as my anger and frustration would have gotten the best of me..and who knows maybe at the end of this story..he might make sense....well...he didnt...and I told him with all due respect that is one of the worst ideas that I have ever heard and that Im insulted. !oops!

Im insulted that you..in your situation..no job..no money...depressed...want to even think about fucking gambling...WITH MY MONEY....and risking my future and my money on a fucking poker hand!?!??!?!? (*S*)

I told him these ideas are too crazy..He goes you used to do crazy things..you used to do spontaneous things...I said I am still that person and yeah I used to..until I did one huge spontaneous thing 2 years ago and it kicked me in the ass and thats why Im back here..dont you get that at this point I have no choice but to think rational???????

He thinks I blame him for us failing our first time out there...I tell him thats not the case...he said he doesnt like me when I get angry or down or when we fight **wars** ..and I told him we will talk later...

He goes "You promise?"

"Yeah buddy..I promise.." !oops!

Update later guys..Happy Fathers Day.
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Hey guys back with another update..hope all the fathers out there had a great day.... ..|


Get home from a whole day out..down by my parents beach house..ate at a nice restaurant by the water...all that good stuff. ..|

Come home..surprisingly kind of tired..log onto the JUB and just listening to XM on AOL... :gogirl:

Buddy calls on my cell..I pick it up..he hears the new Christina Aguilera song on my speakers and says can I shut it off...I told him who it was..and he said he didnt care...he said he needs to talk.

Long story short he said "Brian can I tell you something..."

I go "yeah of course..."

He goes.."I want to drive all the way down to NYC and pick you up and take you back here..I miss you so much it hurts...I thought about you all day today.." !oops!

I told him I missed him too and tried to comfort him as best I can..he said hes glad that it sounded like Im in a better mood...I did bring up the money and said this is just about one of the last few times I can help him...He said he knows hes a burden to me..I said no buddy you are not..its just getting stressful now. !oops!

Anyway..like I always do..I steer the conversation to a different direction with my humor...for some reason we got on the topic of Britney Spears and K-Fed(lol he kept telling me not to call him that, it sounds dumb)...and how hot I thought he was...and we talked about them having sex..and my bro said he probably shoots all over her face..that got me so hot...And I told him so..he told me to calm down lol...he said that Id probably like to get in on a 3-some with them...I said hell yeah...and hes like really? I go fuck yeah, they are both hot..he goes "You see..I think you are kind of BI bro..." And I said no way Im a cock lover...Sometimes I cant believe I talk to my buddy like this but Im convinced...straight or not..that he likes this talk...

Anyway, when I talk about my freakiness or sexual desires or how horned up I am, he kind of gets defensive for some odd reason..I guess its a guy thing...He goes "well bro I been to the Green Door.."

Im like whats that?

He said "its a swingers club in Vegas..my friend is the bouncer there.

Ok first off Im already kind of thinking to myself :bs: ...he goes on and said something to the effect like he had a good time there....

First off I think you have to be a couple going to those places and if not..I hear they are very strict with singles and people just "watching"...

So Im like bro..what you trying to tell me...did you do something? Ae you into that?? And hes just chuckling..

A)I know he did nothing and didnt go to it..I think he was just trying to "one up" me as boys sometimes do...

Anyway we keep talking..he tells me he misses me...I go I know..and he goes no bro you dont..I miss you more than you will ever know..you not being out here is like 80% of my depression and problems...

By this time Im totally hot and hard(because of the sex talk) and took my shirt off and then my boxers and Im just laying there nude talking to him and it felt good..I was hard..stroking a little *|* ...I told him to call me back later..he goes you go do what you got to do and Ill call you back in a little later..I said sure buddy..I shot a nice load...came on here to post..waiting for his call...cant sleep really...ttyl guys..Brian
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

I bet you Andy had to do the same thing. August...getting closer...
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Brian, I think Andy is telling you about all his "friends" because he's trying to make you jealous.

i.e., like most people here, I think he's really in love with you but won't/can't admit it. Maybe threesomes is his way of dealing with it ("well, if there's a girl involved, I can't really be gay, can I?")

My only real concern is that he is using you for your money, but it looks like you are becoming aware of this.

Good luck. We're pulling for ya!
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

This is a very hard update. And one I have been putting off since I got home. I had briefly decided to not post in this thread anymore. This post might be harder than any I have written...and I write this with tears in my eye. :cry:

:( My heart is empty. My soul feels like its gone. I feel broken, cold, numb. I dont know what to say. I am severely down tonight and Im worried about myself. Feelings of hurting myself have come back immensely !oops! ....oh..the reason for all of these feelings you ask...let me explain.

If you didnt read the last post by me go back and look. If you did you know I wa waiting for my buddy to call. No sooner than I did that update and signed off AOL, he did in fact call.

We shot the breeze..etc, etc.

The we drifted off into stupid territory. By that I mean my buddy and I have this thing..babyish and immature as it is..we for some reason try and make each other jealous/angry...yeah I know 5th grade stuff..we should know better...ok.

He game me a nice chain for my neck for X-Mas..I told him jokingly that Matt was wearing it a few times..and once when I gave him a blowjob. He got angry and hung up the phone. Ok, whatever. My bro likes to be dramatic.

I call him back, he says its not funny, etc. He said never to mention his name again. He went onto make me angry over some comment about all his friends that I cant recall at this moment...ok.

Then from what I recall we were talking about sexual stuff. Then he went into this story about how he found out a friend of his past lives in Vegas and he calls him up. Turns out the guy is a bouncer/security guy for The Green Door? in Vegas..a swingers club. #-o

My buddy goes" I talked with him and went inside..stayed there about 20 minutes..saw some crazy shit..guys jerking off..girls fingering themselves..people screwing...I should take you there next time you are here.." #-o

He said that in a joking manner.

Now...for several reasons that I will explain I begin to rather quickly be bothered by this. :(

Then he jokes around and says" Yeah I banged like 5 girls then left..and then he goes just kidding nothing at all happened.."

So right now, I get upset pretty quick and tell him thats a loser thing to do..why would he be even going there? Even IF he did nothing why even tempt yourself? :confused:

Hes like bro what the fuck are you talking about...I told you I did NOTHING..theres nothing for you to get bothered by..why would you even be upset by this at all??? What the fuck is your problem...HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME!!!!! :grrr:

I got really bothered by his tone...So I said well if you did nothing, then maybe you could tell this story to your girl and see what she thinks about it..if you did nothing wrong....and he flew off the handle....so I said Im going to go and I will talk to him tomorrow and hung up. ](*,)

He called back and said I cant say something like that and hang up..stop being a fucking baby and immature.

Hes right on that point..I was.

The situation immediately escalates...he keeps telling me "Bro are you even fucking hearing yourself now?? Its like Jekyll and Hide..You got 2 fucking personalities.."

This flew me into a rage...curses flying back and forth...then my buddy said it:

Bro..I thank you for the money and all your help..but I feel like you crossed the line...and no one ever does that and you should watch your words to me..how dare you judged me..I feel like I dont even know you anymore..how dare you..go ahead and hang up you fuck, because I wont ever call you back. :eek: :cry:

Verbatim.

I was shocked and of course said that him not talking to me would do him more harm than me...we both got macho with each other and screamed like we both never screamed before. :grrr:

He said he cant be bothered wit me anymore and hung up.

He called back 5 minutes later and said he cant let this go and he needs to talk it out and what the fuck just happened?? :confused:

He said after what you have told me about you being gay and in love with me...and how I still stuck by you..you have the nerve to judge me??? ME????? You made me feel so bad and so wrong for going to that place..how dare you!?!?!? He goes I dotn care if I called and told you I banged 10 girls in one night..you side with me..you dont judge me, you stay loyal to me!!! *%%*

Of course I shot back there were tons of things he did to me that I could have nailed him on and judged him for but I didnt.

He called me a hypocrite and said that there have been times..that I looked onlien and talked to guys..and even looked at web cams of guys and jerked off..he said well thats cheating on Matt...

I said yes you are right technically..Me and Matt have an understanding..and openness..that until Im ready to cement the relationship firther, thats its a little open..he said thats bull shit and still cheating. I told him ok..buddy..your right..whatever..Im not going to get into a battle of defining whats cheating...Im not fucking Bill Clinton.

We are both still VERY heated..but there is a sense of calming down..cooler heads were prevailing a little.

He explains himself and the story again for the 6th time..I go I heard this 5 times already, whats going to change.

I then told him why it bothered me..well at least half of it.

Guy to be honest it bothered me for two reasons.

One was that I am great friends with his girl. Pretty tight. Even though I am loyal to my friend..I think its wrong that while his girl is getting sleep for her next days work, that hes even entertaining going to a place like this...I said it hurts me a lot to know that..

Guys am I completely wrong on this???? I mean first of all I think its a little weird but not wrong, just weird that he goes to clubs a lot while his girl is at home. But that might be just letting off steam, going out with the guys.

But to go to a swingers club..while your fiancee is sitting at home??? :confused: It just bothered and confused me for some reason. I have been that person sitting home oblivious before..I didnt like it..and I dont liked hear about it.

The second was that my feelings for him were/are back..and I didnt even want to hear any story like this. !oops!

We both calmed down..cooler heads prevailed. I told him we have anger with each other that comes out in odd ways, such as making each other jealous, etc..

We both agreed that we were hurt..and we both apologized, citing that this was in actuality, our very first real fight..and that it hurt and we never want it to happen again.

This all happened at 2am..we stayed on till 6am talking.

I told him I have not been completely honest with him..and right then and there he said..does this have to do with you having feelings for me..are they still there?

I didnt know what to say..so I avoided it..kind of. #-o

I was afraid to talk guys even though he kept saying we talk about anything...

I told him I knew he was angry with me because he called me Brian...and he never ever calls me Brian..we both got a little chuckle out it..but feelings of hurt were still there.. !oops!

Ever go on a roller coaster and the rise stops..the feelings are still lingering....and thats how this felt..only it was bad feelings.

Hes said hes worried about how my head is going to be today, considering that I have to send him money and normally I get down anyway on days I send him money.

I stressed to him all through the night even after the fight that this is the last.second to last time I can help him and thats it. He said he would start looking for jobs seriously, but cant guarantee anything. I told him I know we made a deal to go to August like this..but I cant. [-X

He said he never, ever planned on ending our friendship and that I should have known its bullshit because I should have known that he cant live without my friendship with me.

I have to say guys..even though I apologized..an apology which was heartfelt..I still dont think I did anything THAT wrong to have my friendship with me threatened. He threatened me with his friendship, and I truly didnt like that. I also didnt like the fact that he was so willing on giving up his friendship with me over this.

He asked me, some of what this is about is that I always accuse him of cheating and when he says otherwise..I dont believe him. He says thats wrong.

At this point I said the following. I go Andy..if you dont cheat..then you sure as hell make it sound like you cheat all the time..I asked you once if you ever had a handjob..and you said yes..WHILE I WAS WAITING IN THE CAR, MOTOR RUNNING, FOR 40 MINUTES LIKE AN ASS....he said he was just kidding and that he only said that because I was talking about sexual stuff and was trying to get stuff out of him...The I go what about the time you told me 3 months into the relationship that you were with another girl..becasue at that point your girl loved you, but you didnt love your girl..what wasnt cheating??I go ok, whatever..then he hes like I never ever cheated.

I go, I really do believe you now, but why drop vague hints and make it SEEM like you are cheating..is this a macho thing?? Is this something you do now that you are engaged to prove that you still "GOT IT"..what..what is it?? Why tell me that you went to the Green Door and that you nailed 5 chicks and you saw a lot of stuff going on...why even do that..

He goes you talk all the time openly and want me to talk about anything..so I thought it would be ok.

Guys he flirts a lot with women..thats fine thats a man thing...but he talks and talks LIKE hes a cheater..I go bro..if that shit aint going on..dont PRETEND like it is, because you are putting the wrong thoughts in my head.

He then asked if Im down and not being honest with him about my feelings..do I still have them.. :confused:

I avoided t again...I was chicken shit. Not to say that I had feelings for him..but to hear his cold, hard, reality answer. I wasnt up for it. !oops!

We started to end the call..I cried...he was getting worried..he said he doesn't like leaving me like this.

He said he misses me very much and loves me..and the first kid he has will have me as a Godfather...and then he goes well the second..the first will of course have to be my girls brother...I was like ok..where the hell did that come from...it just got me more down.

We ended the call. I went to work. I called him after work and left a message saying I needed a day or two to clear my head, and that I cant send him the money today, not on the head I was.

He called me back twice, asking if I wanted to talk..and that he misses me very much. He goes" I guess you dont miss me..you didnt say it back to me.."

I said,
"I miss you buddy.."

Truth is I feel like pulling back, its too many ups and downs with my buddy. I didnt even feel like talking to him for long today and that never happens. I love him. Hell always be my friend..but I think I need to scale back, big time...I seem to only be hurting myself here.


Im still trying to undserstand why Andy blew up on me..I mean I know he was mat at my comment...fine. Thats cool. Mad I can deal with. We dealt with mad before.

But to threaten and hold his friendship in front of my face like that? I think seomething else is going on:

1)That he was maybe going to go further with this story?? And something did happen..but scaled back when he saw my reaction

2)This time he didnt cheat..but he cheated before??

3)Some other reason..to which I have no clue.

A JUB'er I mentioned this too suggested it sounds like hes not happy at home...Which I always kind of thought...but I dont know why..there has been times hes told me that the sex isnt frequent..and then of course a week later hell tell me "4x a week is how much I get laid..."

He told me on several occasions how he knows his girl is not the prettiest but he does love her..He also said that she likes to massage him..and I went cool..and hes like well right after that she always wants sex....and I was like um, yeah???

I found that comment odd coming from a kid who can think of something sexual to say even about the war going on..the kid thinks about sex almost as much as me.

I dont know whats going on really..I just feel empty. :confused:

I know this post was all over the place..for those reading this sentence..thanks for sticking through it.

I will try and post an update soon...Brian

P.S.-It was hard for me to relive this..and difficult to remember all that was said. I cannot begin to describe to you the feeling of calling Andy out on his bluff about ending our friendship..for a brief moment last night...we were both willing to..and its a place we both promise not to go to again.

PS-2-I do know I can and do act immature...and so does he...But that doesnt excuse what we do..I welcome all responses...I have a feeling I will be flamed for this post..
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

I'm thinking his way of resolving his feelings for you is to have both you and the girlfriend/wife.

Having you will heal his soul (and, possibly, his sex drive).

Having the girlfriend/wife will let him fit in with his family, his buddies, and society in general.

I think he wants it all. The wife for show, and you for sustenance. Are you willing to be the partner on the side, in secret?

All this stuff about The Green Door--maybe, as you said, he was going to say more about what he saw. Maybe there were threesomes. Maybe that's his hint of how he wants to deal with the situation--and see if you were interested in such a thing.

What do you want, Brian?
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Brian,

Andy's reaction was completely off the wall. Why would he react like he did? Why would he try to turn the tables and make you the bad guy for "judging" him? Why would he want to shift the focus away from himself? Do you think he might be feeling guilty? And if he is feeling guilty, why?

I'm guessing he really didn't do anything at the Green Door. I mean, come on, 5 girls in 20 minutes? So that probably was bs, just to pull your chain. So he must feel guilty about going there at all. He feels like he's let down his girl........and you, too.

When you called him out on it, you hit a sore spot. He knows it was wrong to go to that place, especially with his girl at home.
He said after what you have told me about you being gay and in love with me...and how I still stuck by you..you have the nerve to judge me??? ME????? You made me feel so bad and so wrong for going to that place..how dare you!?!?!?
What? Did you make him go there?

And honestly, it wasn't very cool to tell him that Matt wears the chain Andy gave you. How would you feel if it were the other way around? Andy is so much in love with you that he can't even stand to hear Matt's name.

I told him I have not been completely honest with him..and right then and there he said..does this have to do with you having feelings for me..are they still there?

I didnt know what to say..so I avoided it..kind of.
Andy knows you still have feelings for him. I think he knows you are still in love with him. He wants you to say it. He wants you to tell him.....maybe so he can tell you, too.

Look--don't ruin your relationship with Andy....and don't let him ruin it either. You guys love each other. Tell him you're sorry you made him angry. Most people only dream of having a friendship/bond like you two have.

(*8*) Jake
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Hey all thanks for the replies..


Jake..the friendship is still tight....and yes on many levels I was wrong with the way I acted.

He even made the comment that many of you expressed on here and I laughed to myelf....he said "Bri we know each other inside and out, better than most husbands and wives know each other.."

So got a little chuckle out of that.

As far as apologies go..we both apologized.

I think right now he is walking on eggshells with me. He wants to call me 24-7 now..but is holding back. He knows he did a major NO NO by threatening to end/holding our friendship up in my face...I still feel deeply hurt by that.

TTYL...Brian
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Well, now you know not to joke about Matt anymore. And he knows not to joke about going to the Green Door. Because you're both totally jealous of one another. it would be cute if it didn't make you fight.
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

I always seem to be making the cynical posts in this thread... I'm not really a cynic, I promise...

I've read this whole thread from start to finish and I don't think what you have going on is very healthy for you Brian. You both have tendencies to make each other feel like shit, and as you have said, you send each other on emotional roller coasters.

Friendships like this consume a lot of time, energy and emotion, as well as money in your instance. Most friendships fade a little after one and/or both have found spouses/partners.

I think you need to stand back and re-evaluate your relationship. Yes, he is your best friend, but is the relationship worth all that you seem to be putting into it right now. I would recommend toning it down a little and making some other friends closer to home. If/When you move to Vegas, you can always rekindle the friendship, but Andy shows no intentions of leaving the situation he is in, and you can't plan on that.

You have a lot of great qualities. All of the time that you spend on the phone with Andy could easily be spent on other, more rewarding activities. You seem to be losing a lot of sleep, and that is not healthy.[-X

I hope that whatever happens, you find happiness.

Best of luck!

Wow -- I have no computer access for a few days, and so much happens!

Brian, you and Andy are both in volatile territory -- your emotional state is similar, leaving you unstable. His instability showed in the threat to end the friendship -- something he may not have meant; it may just be the way his role models did things, so it's not a thought-out response but a programmed one. Your instability shows in several ways, and I think you know them.

The instability is driven by the fact that an awesome friendship got seriously impacted by a multiple-hundred-mile separation -- which means the source of the instability is, emotionally, your relationship.

Now think about it: where are you turning when you're unstable and want balance? Okay, you're bringing some of it here, but you're also taking a lot, even most, to Andy. Where's he turning? Well, he's dumping a lot, even most, on you -- but he's also doing stupid stuff like going to a swingers club (don't tell me that isn't related, either).

So you're two people whose relationship is the source of instability, and the two of you turn to each other when you're unstable... and that feeds the instability. Yes, you're best friends, but you've got a feedback loop going that is amplifying things 'way out of proportion, and maybe out of control -- Andy certainly seems out of control! and so do you.

You've become interdependent, feeding each other, but also co-dependent, feeding off each other. You care and are caring for each other, but you're also using each other (I don't want to get into who's feeding more off whom; it isn't important). What used to be healthy, when you were together and could see and touch and even smell each other, isn't healthy any longer -- sharing and trying to help with all of one another's problems is unhealthy because you're so far apart that mostly you can't really do anything anyway.

BOTH of you need someone else you can lean on with a lot of the emotional stuff, and get the pressure off each other. YOU need to develop more of a backbone and be firm about the money and the timetable. HE needs to grow a spine and go get a job of some sort, even if it's only one of those work-at-home things building assembly units (remember my PM to you?).


On the side -- stop playing games with Matt: tell him that you eat what you do because you care for your body, and if he cares for you, that he should also care, and want you to eat what's healthy. The eat-and-heave things isn't healthy for you (or your budget!).


If that sounds harsh, well, reading such a string of posts all at once puts things in a slightly different perspective, and right now I'm seeing mind games going on that you guys don't even know you're playing.

Hey all.

Sent him money today. Told him next time is the end of it. He said ok.

He is very down. He sees that Im more serious and colder and hurt by the fight. But its not my intention anymore to make anyone feel anything.

TTYL..Brian
 
Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Wow that really sucks...but there's just no way you can keep supporting him. It's better for him actually, even if it hurts for awhile. Keep your chin up. Hope it's the kick in the ass he needs to figure out what he needs to do to support himself. Best of luck buddy.

Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)

Hey..ever since I left off..I have been I guess you could say "cold" to my buddy...not in any manner really..Its just that I pulled back...pulled back from laying on all the emotion every phone call...pulled back from our marathon calls...etc.

And for a little while it seemed to work.

Then he called me at 5am one evening..and was bawling :cry: his eyes out like I have never heard him before. He cried and cried to the point I couldnt make out what he was saying. :confused:

I could not shut off and be cold to his sadness...and my caring for him came out, told him all that mushy stuff..etc. !oops!

He said he had 17 dollars left to his name..... ](*,)

He said that it went to groceries..he needed a haircut..etc..

He called yesterday..saying how he needed a little more help. ](*,)

I kept trying to put it off.... :wave:

I went to school today..had 16 kids..was worse than any other day of the year..because there was NOTHING to do, they graduated the night before...so I had pizza and basketball with them the whole day. It was so HUMID and HOT I couldnt even begin to describe in words if I wanted to... *%%* :-<

Anyway.... offtopic:

I get home all tired...he left a message..I call him back...tell him I wont be able to help him until Monday....he says out loud to himself "this isnt going to be good"....

Im like WTF? :confused: :mad: He says his girl has been on his case about money and a job...and that hes been saying that there is some money hes been putting way from what I sent him and its alright...

So in other words HES lying to her :^o ...and at this point I can really give a shit that shes getting on his case or that shes worried about money...maybe he needs to get work or she needs to get a second fucking job..at this point I dont care......fuck....shit, its not my problem. :grrr:

He said he heard so much disgust in my voice today and that he feels embarrassed...

I told him that it bothers me everytime I send him money because...

A) Anytime I part with money, even if its for something for me and for something I really want..I get down...its called "Buyers Remorse"

B) Im down everytime I send you money because Im here in NYC and you are living off of my money and having a decent time. The hes like bro" Im not out having a good time with your money.." Im like assy...just the fact that my money is KEEPING you out in Vegas and your shopping for groceries and getting haircuts and having little fucking dinner-outs with the MISSES gets on my ever last fucking nerve. :didisay: ok ok ok I didnt REALLY say that :^o ..but I was thinking it.

c) Everytime I send him money I dont fucking hear from him for the next day and a half.....HAVING FUN WITH MY MONEY MUCH????? :confused:

I guess you can see the mood Im in today..as Im writing and thinking about this, Im getting more angry..we agreed to talk later and talk we will....


YOU ALL ARE GOING TO ROAST ME FOR THIS: !oops!

I sent him money today. My account is just about gone save a few bucks...Im living off of paychecks to paychecks now...ME!!!!! The one with a fucking job who worked all fucking year!!!!!!

H said only for a few more weeks....FUCK THAT MIGHTILY..It comes to an end when I speak to him tonight... :mad:

He said he might have a job lined up with construction....and Im like ok that sounds cool...I mean in Vegas construction is a never ending job, plus you get to work outside..and then hes like "I dont know Bri..Id have to get my own tools..and just dont know.."

You dont know....YOU DONT KNOW!?!??!?!? :jab:

Uh...Im in NYC...you moved out to VEGAS, and left my ass behind...Im working for 3 people at a job that pays crap..in temperatures exceeding in-humane levels....and I dont complain dammit...does it mean I LOVE IT??? Hell no..but at 6am...no matter what...whether he keeps me on the phone or I had a long night out..at 6am Im right here getting ready for work regardless......

I told him that my money just doeant go to my education and him..that I actually....get this have OTHER stuff to spend it on too!!!! Like groceries and MY OWN haircuts...and going out, etc......I know..what a SHOCKER...Brian actually does other things with his time.

AND GET THIS... !oops!

I NOW have to take a class in August because I wont be able to take it sooner than I though because of tight money...so there goes my fucking trip..and its his fault not mine...you all know how much I was looking foward to it...now I think Ill just go out there in October for my 30th...

Hes like one day I would like to help you out...and I go "you know bro normally Id say nonsense to that..but lately I wish you hit it big..because I can use the help for once..."

WHERE IS THE FUCKING PEOPLE CARING FOR ME THIS MUCH?????????????? :rolleyes:


Brian...tyyl.....BAH


PS-Yes this is ALL my fault for caring too much AND for falling for my straight best friend. So please I already know...that even thought Im bitching and ranting in this thread..that it really all comes down to me..and what I allowed to happen. Im in love with the wrong person..but that doesnt make me an idiot.

!oops!
