Q: Best Friends separated
asked by: Anorosh33 on June 7th, 2008

I am lost. I do not know how to react anymore. I cannot be clear with anyone. I’ve created restrictions with all the friends I have. I am 22 year old male. I had this un-ordinary relationship with my best friend. We know everything about each other. I am him, and he is me. Everything seemed well until I left my home country to work in another country. He is gay. I am not precisely gay, bisexual most probably. I love girls. I enjoy girls. I do not get turned on by boys, nor do I have attraction towards them except him. But thats another issue.

I miss him a lot. And he misses me too but rationally thinking he got used to the idea of me being away and got over it and now he has a happy life with his boyfriend... I am jealous. What he is doing is right but I cant get used to the idea of not having him in my life anymore. I am always sad. I think about him all the time. I have to get over it and continue my life. But the thought of loosing the only person that I act 100% myself with, scares me a lot. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is loneliness. And now I'm Lonely. What can I do to take him out of my head? How can this end up? Will it be possible to still have him in my life as a regular friend? I usually am a very numb stone-hearted person but he made become so emotional Confused Confused Confused

We used to be in opposite positions until he managed to 'model' me into his own desired shape. He enjoyed it until I left and got over it.

Please can anyone talk to me? I am in desperate need to communicate to someone.
I have talked about this to him but he was reasonable enough to say 'what can we do other than getting used to it'.

Anyone? Anything?

Hi : )
I guess if he's living away and has "gotten over it" as you put it there's not a great deal you can do. it takes two to make a relationship.

Getting over a relationship can be hard but i guess that's what you're going to have to do. Ever heard the saying ' time heals all wounds' well it's very true. you'll meet someone down the track and you'll forget this ever happened.

Why do you feel you have to lose your friend altogether? Can you still have a friendship even though he is with in a romantic relationship with someone else? I know that may be very difficult but perhaps having him as a friend as opposed to not at all would be the better choice.

Have you started dating? That may help you to adjust and find yourself again. Moving away from a best friend is so hard. You mourn the loss of a friend. Time will help this. Meeting new people will definitely distract your mind and help you to forget how much you miss your friend.

Get out there and date a pretty woman. Go and have fun. Moping at home only will make you feel worse. This will help you to move on in life.
