Yes, my friend really does care about me, she was there for each and every bomb that H dropped, she picked me up, listened to me cry for hours and yes it is because she doesn't want to see me hurt again, but I know that right now I am a lot stronger than before and feel confident in tackling pretty much whatever comes along now. She was in the same siutation 10 years ago but decided to move on instantly, everyone is different.
Never thought about it working on anyone other than our H's.
