Advice Needed
Posted: Sat Dec 25, 2010 3:07 pm
OK here's the situation. I met a guy online (christian chat room, not here) in a short period of time we became friends, then more than friends. It didn't work out. He is now interested in another woman. Which to be perfectly honest, I'm happy for him. He's the type that feels he needs someone in his life and it's a good thing for him.
One day shortly after we decided to be just friends I was accused of checking on him one time I entered a chat room they both were in. I wasn't checking in on him. Anyway I felt like if he thought I was checking on him that maybe she did also. I did not want her to think I was some jealous person stalking him etc. I wanted to let her know and he got very very upset and told me that she didn't care and to leave it alone. I said I would and I did at that time.
Another time the 3 of us were in a chat room. In a pm, out of the blue he mentioned something again about me speaking to her (asked me if I was in pm with her.) I was upset because it wasn't even on my mind, and I was having a great time in the chat at that time. It was a total joy kill. Again I thought "did I do something or say something that offened her, and is she thinking negative about me?" I guess I shouldn't care but I did. Anyway I pm'd her asking if there was anything I did or said to offend her. I only asked because I felt really really bad if I did, my heart was actually racing. I hate feeling like I did something to hurt someone I considered friendly. Although I couldn't think of anything I could've said. But because he pm'd me I was very concerned.
Needless to say he assumed and/or she told him that I pm'd her and again he got very very upset with me. For 1 reason because I said I wouldn't, but that was before he randomly accused me of speaking to her out of the blue. I apologized and said I stay out of his business for his sake. I understood how much she means to him and wanted to respect that. Our friendship fell apart because I spoke to her after I said I wouldn't. We didn't really speak to each other after that. The 2nd and main reason I feel he was upset is because he shared somethings with me that at that time he obviously had not shared with her and he was paranoid that I would tell her. I would never do that but we hadn't known each other long so understood the mistrust. On the other hand I felt like I just wanted to make sure I didn't offend her in anyway. We were always friendly in chat. That was the only reason I pm'd her
Part 2 ... Time passed (maybe a wk or less) and we spoke briefly in chat hello etc.. maybe a in response to each other. I also received a positive response to an email in reply to a poem I wrote. So things were better. As close as we were before, no, but I was ok with that. At any rate there was less tension. So again we were in chat definitely less tension and there was a topic in the room that I wanted to talk to her about in pm. Forgetting about what happened before. I wanted to ask her a question in pm. So I asked her in room if I could pm her. BIG MISTAKE.. because he and I were chatting etc and more friendly with each other than before, I didn't even think about him seeing that and thinking what he thought before. Then I got a pm from him while in pm with her asking why I am pm'ing her. It was at that point where I was like OH NO! and oops I did it again.. My intentions were not to cause problems. I blocked them both just so I didn't have to feel like I had to walk on egg shells when they were both in room etc. and so he would stop pm'ing paranoid. First I didn't have her blocked but after i entered into a room with her and lost connection and came back she made a smart remark to the affect that this should be the leave when I come in room or something, (I guess she was saying I left cause she was there or something.) after that I blocked her. I felt like I didn't have to be subject to that.
What should I do? My emotions are all over the place and it's bothering me. I feel stupid that I might still have feelings for him. I just wished he had told her in confidence what he told me and I think things would have much much more different. Hopefully he has. If not I pray she still accepts him as I did.
