Well, I did it. Over a week ago now, and it all seems okay. He did something that really got on my nerves and it's something that my friend said was "dumping worthy" ANYWAY, but I can see why he did it.

We're still really good friends, and we've got secrets between us that still gives me a smile whenever he refers to them in a text message. Just little things, like a nickname or a joke...we'll always have that.

The thing that sort of annoyed me was when I did it. I didn't want to do it over the phone for fear that one of us might run out of money and the conversation would be cut short. I didn't want to text him, because it just seemed...cruel. So I did it online, because that's where our relationship started, and I can get everything out online rather than bottling up.

So, after I told him everything, he was fine with it. But then he told me that his mother said that if I wanted to speak to her about anything, just give her a call. His mum's a teen counsellor. Which meant she was reading the conversation, and that he was LETTING her. I asked him whether she was reading it, he proceeded to say something to the effect of implying that it's OKAY, and then I questioned him about it. I presumed she must have left after that, because I think he knew I was getting annoyed. I've no idea if I had any right to be, but I was.

He admitted that he wouldn't have known what to say had his mother not been there. It's just...he's told me things about him - medical, private things - and it's like me asking my mother or my grandmother for an opinion on the subject, and them reading the conversation.
