Ex best friend :'(

Just wondering what you think.
It's how I feel, but I'd never show this to him :|

Do you know what you mean to me? You’re my very best friend, my first love, and the one who means the world to me. The one who I cry over every time we fight. You are the most important person to me. You mean more than any boyfriend ever could, because you know me inside and out - and that's special. I hate arguing with you and right now, what’s going on is worse because I just feel like you don’t care anymore. You told me you didn’t. I won’t ever forget the times we’ve shared and I don’t want to consider they meant nothing to you, like you said, because they meant everything to me. To be honest, I’m beyond the point of embarrassment now I don’t care what people think and if you don’t see me in this way anymore, then that’s cool really it is. But I just wanted you to know that if you still have that book I gave you for your birthday, I still mean every word. I love you for who you are and not who you try to be sometimes. You’re not the guy who was so horrible to me on the phone, that’s not really you and I know that. You’re the guy who stays out with me in the park, even when it’s raining. And the guy who holds my hand and gives me big hugs when it’s freezing. I love you and you will forever be my best friend, whether you feel that way or not.

Don't listen too much to the bunny boiler comments. It's clear you are in a sentimental mood from what you've written and how you've written it, and it's clear you are writing about someone special. I'm more than capable of thinking and writing similar things about some of my truly special friends when I'm in the right mood but that doesn't make me, or you, a bunny boiler.

Sounds like he means more to you than anyone....even your boyfriend. Are you sure you see him as just a friend?

PS Don't be too quick to jump to the "ex" best friend conclusion. I don't know the background, but friends fight and fall out and sort things out with unerring regularity. Don't write off your friendship too soon because chances are it would be a mistake to do so. Perhaps you both need some time off from each other but when the emotions are a bit less raw and exposed give him a call, send him a card, call him or whatever. He'll be missing you too.

Surely there wouldn't be anything wrong even he means more to her than her bf? BF's and GF's come and go but friendships don't.

Those bunny boiler comments were a bit harsh.. I wish someone felt that way about me :smile: hope you make up i'm sure if you feel this strongly you will

Oh, no, I completely agree - it's just that her feelings seem quite 'deep' towards this guy, and that was the sense I was getting =).

Your advice about the "ex" conclusion thing was good though. OP, go with that =). Just leave it a while to cool off and then slowly tell him how you feel.

Probably not but I don't want to face that...
We've fallen out, haven't spoken in two weeks and he nevers wants to be friends again.
This is my failed "getting over it" process, ooerr.

P.S Thankyou to those who have been nice with their comments. Re-reading what I've written, yes I did get extremely sentimental but it's how i'm feeling and I don't really need horrible comments right now. Thankyou.
if he is your best friend, like and he feels the same way, i don't think that would freak him out. i've said some similar things to my best friend(maleee) and he's said things to me. we had a huge fall out over something pathetic and ended up talking a lot about how we're the most important thing in each other's lives, and it's insanely true. i've turned down dates and boyfriends just to go smoke with him and vice versa.
it's understanable :smile: make up. it'll work. i did something so horrible to my best friend, and we made up in the end.

well i dont think i'd ever let him read it. it just helps me to write it down like that and clear my head, get all my feelings down you know? :s-smilie:

we've been best friends for seven years and inseperable ever since. this is odd for me now.

Just a little word of warning... I got in a lot of trouble a while back when someone I assumed a) would never read a post on TSR and b) wouldn't know who 'Tednol' actually was in real life DID read the post and DID figure out who I was. Don't assume that can't happen, especially when you've got your pic up.
well just make up and say somehting? just tell him h'es really important to you? he probaly doesn't realise

Awww that is so sweet. I hate arguing with best friends. I don't have many friends, but arguing with your best friend is the worst thing in the world.
Send it. what've you got to lose?

What's that got to do with it, I said it because you always come out with so much cynical crap here.

I honestly don't know.
Just some silly phonecall got way out of hand and ended really harshly. But we've been falling out constantly on and off for the past six months or so - but always making up quickly. It's not the same this time.

You really have no idea tbh. When you've experienced a proper friendship, come back.

is it possible...that you like him more than you think (as in romaticly?) and he does too?
