OMG This hurts SO bad

[KnottedYet]

I can't believe that boom, just like that, he is no longer part of my life.

He thinks he's still part of your life. The part he thought he played: the friend who liked you but had no romantic interest in you.

The only thing that's out of your life is the fantasy you had. The real person is still there.

Heal yourself of the damage your fantasy has done you, and tell him you are sorry. Don't cut him out of your life. He never lied to you, he always told you how he felt (he was gentle about it, saying he'd rather be single than date you). Get back to being the friends he's always thought you were.

Friends are so incredibly valuable. Cherish what he really is. Your friend. Not your lover.

It sucks to be forced to face reality, and it hurts like h*ll the first time it happens, but (((Rollie))) you will survive.

So sorry for what you're going through, Rollie. Take care of yourself.

Rollie, I am so sorry. Broken hearts hurt so bad. Knotted has good advice. Try to stay in the moment and you will get past this and hopefully still keep your best friend. {{{{hugs}}}}

Take some time to be upset about it, and then take some time to focus on you. When you make you happy, and you've had some time to heal, you'll be able to be friends if you're still interested.

That's the worst feeling in the world. *hugs* and I promise, we're all here for you!

Rollie, I'm so sorry about your pain. I think Knotted has good advice. Don't throw it all away.
