Was i using my friend?
Me and my friend talked pretty much every day for ten years. Then i found out she was in love with me and i felt weird about it, so i stopped speaking to her.
She was really upset. She says she misses me a lot, but to me, it doesn't really matter if we talk or not. I do care about her, but i don't miss her if she's not around.
I tried to explain to her that our friendship wasn't anything special to me - if anyone else had been around more i would have been talking to them. But she said that she thought that because we talked for hours every day that i was her best friend.
She says that the way i feel about her makes her feel completely worthless and used, and that i was definitely using her if it didn't even bother me when our friendship ends, but to me, i think that's a normal way most people feel towards their friends, and it's her that's weird, and placing emotional demands on me.
Now i got a new girlfriend a few weeks ago, and now she's pregnant. My friend was so hurt when she found out that i'm pretty sure that we'll never talk again, but to be honest, it still doesn't really bother me. I'm going to have a new life now, and i'm sorry she's hurt, but if she can't be happy for me, that's her problem.
