i don't know if it wasn't a relationship. It wasn't in the romantic sense but that's one type. Maybe you could clarify something for me, during the course of our conversations she told me I was her best friend and that I was the only one she consulted about her bad relationship (the previous one). Now, I know I'm really needy but she said some things over the course of our meetings that gave me the impression that we were at least friends. So when she cut me off for this new man I felt that I'd been used and didn't think it was fair. The reason I'm saying this is I think there was (or I thought there was) a bond between us. Or maybe I am living in a screwed up different world. Yes I'm a little bitter because I don't know if I could do this to somebody else - not without an explanation anyway.
