> I'm in an interesting situation right now. This guy and I were
> seeing each other a year ago. I had feelings for him and I was
> pretty much sex and some good company to him nothing more. The more
> emotionally tied up I got, the harder it was to be around him. We
> had an amazing friendship, it was natural progression almost that we
> would end up together. I saw future, he saw many other fish in the

> Now I'm the strong resilient type , it was time for me to get over

> Not long after I got back... Well pretty soon after that our

> Naturally I woke up confused.., what did I need this for? I'm an

> I spent the weekend with a very different group I friends and it was

> Yay.. Go me. You could almost say my outlook changed that week. A
> week later when he returned he received a very different reception
> to what he was expecting.
>
> The result- a very abusive fizzle of a friendship.

> Fast foward.. To now. Were back in the friend zone. The rules are
> clear. We are friends and we roll in thesame group of friends. Its
> great....... But.... Yes there is a but....

> Apparently I'm not allowed to be friends with this group of friends
> unless he is present. WHAT. Yes I know - ludicrus - but its
> happeing. Jealousy? Who knows?
>
> I can think of so many mature ways to deal with this, however I've
