normally never would i say it...

sooo... normally it takes a lot for me to get down, but i got a lot built up so i'm gonna put it up in the off chance that any of you care.

wednesday was supposed to be a good day. my best friend from high school was coming down. my day plan was simple and easy to make succeed as a good day... i could never have anticipated how wrong i was.
the day was good until after i picked him up from the airport and we rode the train back. the first thing to go wrong was this: my friend has a gf who apparently he's ignoring. i was friends to both of them when he met her, so because she's being ignored, of course she calls me and asks if he's even still interested, if she's waisting her time crap like that. i try to be a friend to both of them so i said i'd bring it up when we hung out later that night to see what he says. you know, consult with both and try to reach mutual understanding: blah blah blah.

it may sound like i go out of my way to solve problems, but in reality i just don't realize early enough any approaching conflict. the trouble finds me.

the next thing that happened...my new gf since new years, recent i know (and a coworker) had been trying to reach me all day. her literal text was "we need to talk". that set off a red flag, because it can never be good when phrased that way. she came over and said that people at work were practically interrogating her that day about whether we were dating. for the sake of out jobs "we can still be friends"...it's just if we got found out, i would get fired and she would stop being trained to work projection...basically get my job.

it wasn't even the manager who did it. the other projectionist is an @$$ hole who takes it upon himself to snitch on everything he can. he's stabbed everyone working there in the back in some way (myself included prior to all this).

by this point i was pretty upset. i wanted to introduce this great girl i'd found to one of my oldest friend and i got broken up with while he was watching. nobody's perfect, i'm no different, i wanted some brew so i could forget. my connection who sells out of his closet told me he was sold out but i knew he did. i was unable to put myself in a state where i don't have to think about it all. i find that even more depressing than if i had found some.

i was supposed to go to *ignorant boyfriend*'s place that night, but he was at band practice for a lot of the night. he ended up blowing me off when it was over... after i spent 20 minutes listening to what HIS girlfriend has to say which he obviously hasn't since they met.

the final straw was when he only replied back during band practice and added that apparently some kid is really ****ed at me for something i did a couple days ago. it wasn't a big deal and no trouble came of it, but it was kind of a dick move.

normally, i really frown on using this term...but i think it's warranted by the situation.
fml.

Where one door closes, another opens. As you're no longer committed to a relationship and your friend is ignoring his girlfriend who is also your friend, date his chick. She stops bugging him, you have a girlfriend that I'm assuming you don't work with so there aren't any problems on the job. It's what I would do anyway, but then I'm an ass.

i have been heavily considering it. i know that he wouldn't mind if i did... that's already been talked about. truth be told i have no idea why i wouldn't...i'll just have to wait and see on that one i suppose.

Sounds like Dwight from The Office.

I was honesty about to give you an ear full until Cheez said

Anyway, the only advice I could give you is to not get involved in the sh*t that's going on between the two of them, wait for them to break up, and go for her. Or, if you think getting involved in their sh*t somehow would help your chances with her once they break up, then do that.
 
Re: normally never would i say it...

well...my problems have shifted but are not erased.
the pseudo-ex gf wanted me to talk to him after that night, but he's been blowing me off every day since. i haven't heard from her yet so i hope he finally talked to her and called the damn thing off.
as for the co-worker...i think some kind of agreement has been reached that we're going to continue what we're doing and just try to keep it a secret. so i feel a lot better about that, but my job is on the line :lol:
it's definitely the more irresponsible choice, but i am absolutely happier with it.

it a lot feels better now, even though most of the crap is still an issue... i just dropped my buddy off at the train station, so i guess i've just gotta play the waiting game with the rest of this crap :hmm:

thanks for the advice so far guys, i could really use some more if you've got it. i've still got a kid who could try to start a fight (which i try to avoid if possible), a friend who is ignoring me and his gf who is consequently getting me involved.

I threw in the "but then I'm an ass" bit to express that this would be an ass thing to do.

Yea, I totally get that. I seem to do that a lot with my friends and other people that I know. However, I usually say that I'm a douche rather than an ass. :lol:

But about when I was going to "give you an ear full", I am simply a respecter of the "bro code".

The way you worded that makes it sound like the kid is your son, but I highly doubt that. :lol: What's your relation to the kid?

Re: normally never would i say it...

I probably shouldn't get involved in this, because (unlike you) I find drama to be a part of...and it always turns out poorly.

Anyway, my advice is tell the "pseudo-ex" that your friend isn't interested...if he himself hasn't told her that (if they never really talked). And if she's putting you in the middle of the drama and you don't want to be there...it's very possible to take yourself out (although, telling her the above would probably not help...so pick and choose). You say that you don't want to get in the middle of it, that it's not your problem, it's theirs, and they should talk about it together (though I guess it's already over).

As for the "kid"...what did you do (or he do) to create this drama?

Remember...life is what you make you...really, truly it is, I'm not kidding. And you can't change others, you can only change yourself.

Good Luck
