It was weird for my girlfriend at first, I won't lie to you, but I think she realized they don't take her place in any way and I'm not looking for anything more out of them. Justin clearly was looking for something more - and I hope you're not cuddling with someone while hoping for more than a cuddle. Or that you'll write the story down as well, either one will work for me ;) I didn’t say it wasn’t weird, just that it’s not uncommon :-P

He just decided that he can no longer see me, since it is too painful for him to continue to see me with someone else. I can only tell you that for HCE it must have been just as painful as it was for you if she felt anyway the same as I do... I'm just glad that I found this now, just as the platonic best friend has decided he can't see me, because now I feel that somehow I understand him and his position more.
