Soooo I have an internet friend - we met at Secondlife and then continued talking of Yahoo and facebook for the last 2 years - he is in america - he has been very lonely so when he introduced me tosome of his new friends online one said they really liked himand wanted to meet

So i found out he liked her too but was shy - anyway - i gave him a little nudge and they have now met - are meeting at thsi very moment - she is staying with him for a couple of weeks

My friend and I often finosh our conversations with I love you my friend - thats all it is friendship - there is never any chance i will get to meet him given my finanacial situation and other things ......

We have helped each other with psychological issues over the last two years and been there for each other in crisis..

Out of the blue I get a message fromt he girl saying i have to "BACK OFF" as I am "stepping on her toes " by saying i love you - I told her i tell my broters and sisters I love you and he is like a borther to me - and i said it seemed to be her insecurity talking and that i am no threat to her as we are only friends - she also got quite aggressive in her note to me saying she would protect him from me WT?????

I can't tell my friend as I dont want to spoil it for him if he really likes her and he may not even believe me - he is very lonely and al i want is for him to be happy - i would prefer not to lose him as a friend as we have been through so much - we used to talk every day (type) but now .....I havnt heard for a week or so.....

I had left a message saying i felt like a bit of a loser leaving messages when he hasnt replied and i got into trouble wiht the girl fro that too cos apparently that upset him

So i sent him an apology if i had hurt him -

I guess the way thigs are going ..I will lose my friend....

any thoughts?

I dont understand jealousy - I dont have a jealous bone in my body, but maybe thats cos i'm not in a relationship...dunno........

Just makes me sad.....
