thanks Shoez. It wasn't a fail at all, and I feel the support.

Yeah, his girlfriend found out about me and him... which sucks even more because I really like his girlfriend! The whole thing happened days before we were going to cut it off too... :/ stupid us.

I'm trying to be direct with him, but I don't think he gets it. I'm trying to hold back my anger and frustration and hurt that he cut off so abruptly, which is probably making my "direct" a little less direct than I want. I'm trying to get through to him without hurting him, but I'm worried the only way to get through to him is by being blunt... which I know will hurt him.

((((( BIG HUG TO SHOEZ))))) Your support is felt, and I am very VERY grateful. And don't ever be sorry for giving me advice, stupid or otherwise. It's always accepted and appreciated.
