We never know where life takes us….

A friend of mine, a very close one, used to say…we never know where life takes us. At the middle of the relationship, I used to think, what is he talking about, we r friends, and more over, we r cousins, so what could happen to turn this relation apart…no way.. nothing can change us…,but not as usual, I was wrong!!!

I used to consider him as my best friend, I guess he was more than that, a brother who I can share thoughts, feelings with and ask for his advice. Our talks were all about life in general, and since he is part of the family, I felt free to talk about things that go with me daily.

The sweatiest thing was that he was capable of reading my thoughts even before I say it, we agreed on many things, and even though I have a different mentality that is not easy to understand but he was the person who understands me, and knows what I’m talking about.

People could not understand the nature of our relation, and they were convinced that it is love. At that moment I did not care, cuz I knew that it is not love, I was sure he was thinking the same way…he is not my type, yes I know that I admire him, I like his personality, but there was no chemistry…and even if there was, he is happily engaged!!!

Days go by, and this relation changes for worse, emails, chatting, phone calls and even sms r less and less. I admit that I missed him as a friend, especially when he was a corner stone in my life, but as usual, and due to my pride, I said nothing.

Once I was feeling down for a very long time, I thought if I talk to him, and tell him what is going on with me, I’ll feel better, but again I was wrong. His reaction came very shocking, asking me to consider him as a friend nothing more, I was like... “What the hill u r talking about?” u among all the people in the whole world should know what my feelings toward u r, I love u right, but as a brother…his word hurted me so deep, I wish I had the courage to say that u r not my type, but I was so afraid of hurting him…

Today I miss him, I miss our talks, I miss when he used to say the word just seconds before I do, I miss thinking of the same subject even if miles apart us, I miss talking about a song I love…

YES I DO MISS YOU, and even if I’m sad that u caused me this pain, but I still have this feeling to u, and now it is for ur wife and sweet little kid, and as u kept on saying… “We never know where life takes us.”

You know something? I completely understand yoru frustration but sometimes you really need to respect your friend's wish and just allow it to progress the way they like.
Let him go .. You can have more and better friends in the future. It's obvious that he's not available.
Sorry I said all of the above, but trust me ... just move on .. and you will start feeling better

thanks Q, and yes i know i have to go on, and this is what i'm doing, but now i know that there is no friendship between a male and a female, it is just impossible, and right now, i just talk to him, only if he does..now i think of him as a cousin, nothing more..

Maybe its not his fault, maybe its his partner who asked him to stop whatever is between you two..
Males and females can be friends but the minute any one of them gets a partner things change.. they just simply cant understand..
and I cant say I blame them, its not always easy to know that your spouse has a close relationship with your gender, I think you would want them to have this relationship with you instead of her..
As Qwaider said, just move on and dont hold any grudges against him, you can never know why he did that..
Good luck..
