I finally told him that I didn't want to talk about her anymore or be in the middle of this whole thing. He says I'm the closest link to her, which is true, but I told him to man up and tell her his feelings and just be prepared for what happens. It's not for me to try and protect him anymore. I can't do it.. I'm dealing with too much other stuff right now and trying to fix myself. I don't want him, either, just someone LIKE him to like me for a change. I seem to attract the broken ones who need fixed and then leave once they are fixed. She attracts the same type of people as me, but she's a lot more picky than I am. This guy is completely opposite of what she usually attracts and would be great for her. But, it's hard to hear this stuff when you're lonely and depressed and feel bad about yourself.
