Our age did make a differences. And our stages in our lives were very different. he accused his sister of making bad choices because she has a picture in her head of how life should be, but I think he has a lot of the same.
I do not think he is a bad guy. I do think he cared for me. I think he cared for D9 too. I think he truly hoped he could have it all with us but realized he can't. He didn't know to be more careful with feelings.
He wanted to marry his best friend from 6th grade. They began to date junior year of high school, but she broke his heart and cheated on him when they were 21. She went on to marry and recently have a baby with that guy. I think he feels like that is what he is working towards but he is just no getting it.
I actually feel bad for him. In a little brother kind of way. I felt the same way being 27 with a baby and a husband who just left me for another woman. You see someone with the life that was supposed to be yours...... and it's devastating. I feel for him.
Maybe one day we could be friends. Maybe I could help him as a friend.
As for me. I need a MAN. By every definition of the word.
