love,lust and one big mess...


Recommended Posts

Thanks to any who take the time to read this.I really do appreciate it and will

 

 

be more than willing to offer any help to you in return.With that being

 

 

said,I'll move on to the problem.I have been best friends with this guy I will

 

 

call,Brian (just to help maintain the clarity of the post)for about 8 years

 

 

now.We have shared alot together and used to be very close.We went to

 

 

highschool together and our first couple years of college too.I moved to New

 

 

York,after I met a guy from there who was in the military.I'll call him

 

 

Rick.I met Rick thru a good friend and neighbor.Rick's parents were from the

 

 

area too so Rick had lived just 45 miles away from me.We were introduced and

 

 

really hit it off.

 

 

I moved out of my mom's because of an arguement she and I got into and found

 

 

comfort with Rick,who was more than happy to share his home,thing is like I

 

 

said before,he was living in New York at the time.So one weekend he drove in

 

 

and I went back with him.Besides,he assured me that we would get to move back

 

 

home with in a few months because he was chaptering out of the military.So

 

 

everything seemed fine,we did eventually move back to our home area.It was a

 

 

few weeks after a year and a half of dating did I see Rick's true colors.He

 

 

became abusive to me,physically and mentally.He would do things like hit me and

 

 

tear up my clothing.So eventually,I got smart and left him.I hate to say that I

 

 

did stick around in the relationship longer than I should've,but atleast I got

 

 

out.I just kept believing his tears and crying when he swore he'd change.He

 

 

never did,and when I finally saw that I left.In the mean time when this was all

 

 

going on my best friend,Brian was trying desperately to get a hold of me.He

 

 

knew something was wrong,but was unable to get any straight answers from

 

 

anynone has to where I was.He later told me that he would dream about me being

 

 

hurt at night and that is what scared him.The weird thing is that he was

 

 

right.I was being hurt.On my way back home,I called Brian to see how he was.

 

 

He was shocked to hear from me and relieved.Our conversation was brief but both

 

 

felt better that the other was ok.He said he had tried to find my e-mail

 

 

address in the directory and was unsuccessful,so I gave it to him.

 

 

Sure enough,when I got home there was about 4 different e-mails.He also had

 

 

written me a letter from college.So after a lot of thinking I decided to return

 

 

to college,I got my own apartment and began my new life.Brian and I would hang

 

 

out almost everyday and began having feelings for one another.Brian came over

 

 

one night to watch the Blair Witch Project and things led to other things and

 

 

we became intimate.We both were a little freaked because we still labeled

 

 

ourselves as just friends.He later told me on the phone that he always thought

 

 

I could've been the best thing to ever happen to him and that when he's 89

 

 

years old on the porch swing,that the little old lady beside him on it would be

 

 

me.However,like over night it was like his feelings changed.He stopped calling

 

 

as much and we didn't hang out often,which was ok by me,because I was starting

 

 

to feel kind of weird about it all too.Well,my ex,Rick came back into the

 

 

pic,but not like your thinking.He tracked me down and showed up at my apartment

 

 

late one night,he had gotten a friend of his to show him where it was.He began

 

 

throwing rocks at my window until I rose to see what it was.

 

 

When I saw it was him,I wanted to turn around and shut the door.He was yelling

 

 

and begging to talk to me,and the next door neighbors were pounding on the

 

 

walls letting me know that they were being disturbed.So reluctantly I let him

 

 

in.

 

 

Rick gave me his whole spill about still loving me ,and how he was going to

 

 

church,etc.I didn't care at this time as to what he had to say,so I was just

 

 

honest with him and told him no and that I would take him to Walmart(he had

 

 

arranged to meet his buddy there)so he could just go back home.I then got up

 

 

and went to use the rest room.While I was in there,Rick began going through all

 

 

my things and came across

 

 

Brian's old letter in my desk.He freaked out saying that Brian was the reason I

 

 

didn't want him back.He began swearing and threathening all my friends and

 

 

family saying he was gonna kill us all.He said he was going to make sure he got

 

 

Brian first and stormed out of the front door.I was afraid because Brian DID

 

 

live in the same student apartment complex as me.Rick didn't know that,but it

 

 

was getting close for Brian to come out to go to class.I told Rick that I

 

 

wouldn't let him touch Brian.I guess that made it all worse bacause he went out

 

 

to the parking lot and began punching my car.I tried to go out to stop him and

 

 

he hit me and pushed me down,so I went up stairs to call 911.I got a hold of

 

 

the operator and she said she would send some one asap.Rick then grabbed the

 

 

phone and threw it at me.I told him that it was all over finally and that the

 

 

cops were on their way,he left because he didn't want to get caught.The cops

 

 

showed up and he was put into jail.The cops wanted the whole story and I gave

 

 

it to them,they also wanted to speak to Brian,and they told him of the threats.

 

 

I guess he freaked out and told his parents who freaked out more.We talked a

 

 

few times after that,but his parents(more like his mom)doesn't want him around

 

 

me.They blame me and act like I'm the bad person.If anything,I did my best to

 

 

protect their son.I guess they don't see it that way.Well,the semester was over

 

 

and I returned to my hometown,where I began talking to a recruiter,I joined the

 

 

army reserves to try to help pay for college.I left for boot camp in mid

 

 

June.Brian didn't like the idea,but didn't discourage me because he knew I

 

 

wanted to do it.I would write to him and he would write back informing me as to

 

 

what was going on etc.He even sounded like he was starting to get passed

 

 

everything.Well,I returned home and found out that he had been seeing a girl

 

 

from a near by town.I was kind of hurt because he never told me anything about

 

 

her in letters or anything else.I was hoping that when I got back we could

 

 

respark everything because after all he and I had been through together,I

 

 

realized that my feelings were strong and I did love him.His girlfriend began

 

 

to spread malicious rumors about me,she became very jealous.He knew of this and

 

 

really didn't say anything to her about it.I think he decided to stick with

 

 

her,because she is the one his parents approve of.What bugs me is that she is

 

 

misrepresenting herself to be something she's not.My mother had her in school

 

 

and many of her own close friends have informed me as to how she really is.All

 

 

have said she's wild and has slept with many guys,but to Brian and his

 

 

family,she's a perfect angel,that really burns me up too.I would love to tell

 

 

them how she is,but I don't wanna sink to her level.Me and Brian had a bit of

 

 

an argument and aren't speaking,I have tried but he won't respond to any

 

 

e-mails I send.We both are in agreement that we shouldn't be friends now.He's

 

 

telling his mom and girl that he never wants to have anything to do with me,but

 

 

at the same time he has been e-mailing my close friend asking her for pics of

 

 

me.I don't understand why.He told her that he isn't going to let anyone know he

 

 

has them. She asked him why he wanted them and he replied."I really don't know

 

 

why." I really do love this guy,but it all seems too far gone.I would like to

 

 

know what I can say to get a response,because it sounds like to me that he

 

 

doesn't want to totally let go but he wants to please his mom and girl as

 

 

well.How can I convince him that trouble doesn't always follow me and that I am

 

 

worth a chance?

 

 

Thanks everyone.... I really need advice from a male's point

Very long letter! No offense. You need to write an email telling him how you feel and how his parents shouldn't be influencing his love life! If he really does want to keep in touch that is fine. If he really wants to share your life that's great. But if not, then there's no reason for him to be getting pictures of you and finding out how you are through other means than yourself. The only thing you can do is tell him how you feel, let him tell you how he feels and go from there. If he's not interested, the move on. At least you can say that you tried. And if he won't read your email, have the friend who is giving him pictures of you tell him. Good luck.
