Ouch Canders. How could he say that he'll meet new friends and forget the old ones to you, though? Owwwwwwwiieeeeee!!!
That was just plain wrong and hurtful to you.
It was very mean for him to have said that.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I understand it hurts. There's nothing anyone can say or do though-it's something only time can heal.

Yes, it hurts that he said this. OTOH, what if he didn't disclose this, and Canders goes on waiting for him to respond to her attempts to stay in touch?

As well, perhaps at some level he know that Cander's feelings are greater than his.

Maybe he didn't have exactly the most tactful words -- but how many of us do know exactly how to say something something like this in exactly the best way? Because of his honesty, Canders knows where she stands. She can heal and move on. Hoping that he wants to stay in touch in a meaningful and important way because he hid the truth would have kept the wound open and festering.

Ouch, yes, this hurts. A lot.

I care, Canders, and hope you'll keep us posted as you heal and have new adventures and make new friends.
