Wow, this is amazing. I can't believe how quickly people responded and how supportive you all are. I do believe that I'm in the adjusting process and that's why I'm hurting so much. I never realized how deep my feelings were for him until he started seeing this other guy. I am extremely happy for him at the same time though, because he was always afraid that he would never find anybody (he's not the flamboyant type, more introverted, and really the guy he's with is perfect for him). The three of us had dinner together tonight and it was actually pretty enjoyable. It bothers me though when I've tried to talk to him about it and he just drops it. I understand that I may be acting childish and that he may see me as blowing things out of proportion, but I think it really does help to talk and he's not willing to do that. I do believe that we'll always be very good friends at the very least. I just want to be able to be happy for him without these feelings of jealousy and hurt. How long does a grieving process like this take because I really don't think I can take it anymore. Again, thanks to both of you for reaching out. It is very much appreciated
