FLTC, maybe I'm just a naive dink but I don't believe CB was playing head games with me. I think our friendship just got a little too intimate for the situation and when she started initiating time with me a few weeks in a row, I believe it scared her. I, of course, thought we were finally settling into a real friendship. It always contained those romantic undertones though and we both just ignored it cuz it felt so darn good to be together! But, yes, it did hurt alot when she cut the ties when she did and the way she did. Again, I'm not her and obviously she was having some feelings she was finding hard to handle, whatever they may have been. So I'm just letting go and carrying on with my life and trying to take the good out of what happened. I also have to take responsibility for my part in this, I ignored the reality of the situation (the BF) and kept building our connection, that's what I mean about building my boat and then sinking it. I feel that all this may have hurt her in some way too or she wouldn't be running away in such an apparent panic. So there's guilt to be had on both sides here. I did have some difficulty in accepting that she did this in the way she did despite knowing that this was the worst time of my life, I know she's been through far worse than me so does know. But, hey, she did what she did. I will let it be and carry on with my life. Thanks for you support!
