    I guess I’m afraid that if I tell him off he’ll just smack talk me and my best friend to everyone on our running team. By telling him off, I mean that I’ll ask him to stop being so rude to my friends all the time, especially my best friend. My goal is for him to just stop. I dont know if standing up to him makes me kind or nosy.

    Anita-
    He never physically abused me or anything, I suppose it was the tone of the argument. I cant quite describe it but it was scary and it somewhat triggered me, like he was being condescending or something. The arguments were just about things like me teasing him about keeping old clothes or other simple things that shouldn’t matter. They’re just awful because I care about him so much and he acted like he didnt care about me, and I guess that really hurt me. I feel like what I said was calm and respectful but what he said was pretty rude (i don’t want to get into it).
    No screaming, nothing like that. It was just really hard to go through which I suppose made it awful.

    Thanks,
    J

    Hey,
    Sorry to hear about this, I know what it’s like.

    At the end of the day, it always comes down to one thing: you should be doing what makes you happy. Don’t stay in a relationship because you think it will eventually get better- know your worth, and move on.

    Talking things through with him, face to face, could really help untie some knots that are holding you down. I think that expressing yourself to him and hearing his side of the story will help you. If he loves you, he will surely understand. People who love you want you to be happy, and there are no exceptions.

    I think that it is absolutely not selfish to put yourself first. Don’t feel guilty for doing what’s best for you. You are the only one you can truly count on, regardless of where you are in life and who is in it for the time being. It is absolutely important to take care of yourself first.

    Never, ever loose your sense of individuality. It sounds, to me, like you are loosing self-respect by being in such a relationship with him. Don’t pay for things with self-respect. Know you are amazing and beautiful, inside and out. If he is holding you back from happiness, it’s time to solve the issues, or just move on from the relationship. A woman is unstoppable once she realizes she deserves better. Empower yourself, and know that better things are always on the way. Ending something that it toxic for your life will make way for better, greater things.

    Sorry I kept it so short and didn’t answer nearly all of the questions, but I really hope this helps. I’m sorry if this was too forward but it is very heartfelt.

    We have partially made up and are now friends. My question about if what I did was the right this was referring to the fact that I ended the bestest friendship. Do you think it was something that will benifit me?

    When I said he was a monster, I mean he became a scary character. He never swears, but swore at me loudly after I suggested just being good friends. Also, about a week ago, he texted Kendall that I was a “pretty awful person”. I don’t know if he has always been like this or if something has changed, but he’s been really rude to me lately, and purposefully hurting me. He said really hurtful things (I’d have to dig through text messages and think hard about what he said). I don’t remember excactly what he said, but I remember how much it hurt.

    thanks,
    Jenna

    He never liked me like that; he’s really expressive, and really connected to his feelings, like a girl. I actually know who he has feelings for, as we used to share secrets like that.

    I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking, but if you’re asking if we’re supposed to put each other before everyone else, then I’d say yes. We did put each other above all else for a while. I suppose it was an exclusive relationship in a way.

    Andy and I never had more than a friendship. I don’t think he ever really had those feelings for me, which I was okay with. I only wanted to be friends. We had a pretty rocky and rough relationship, but we always wanted to work things out. We both over think a lot of things, and that lead to a lot of hurt feelings, so it was hard to maintain that kind of relationship.

    I was really upset with Kendall, until about a month ago I decided to make peace with her and asked to be friends again, and she was happy with that. Ever since then we’ve been friends. I never talked to her about my jealousy, because it kind of embarrassed by it. But she does know that it hurt me greatly every time Andy left me to be with her. She and I are both in the same sport and age group, and she always gets pretty upset at me because I win and beat her. So I think the jealously goes both ways, which probably isn’t too great in a friendship.

    Also, I forgot too add that I let go of my bestest friendship with Andy because he caused me more pain than happiness (just wanted to clear that up a bit).

    Thanks,
    Jenna
