Losing a friend of over 10 years because of her S.O.
Relationship Stress / by CuriousHippo

...See more Known her for a more than a decade; she dated my best friend and we've all stayed good friends since their breakup in 2010. She's dating this guy right now, and she's removed all of us on Facebook and blocked our numbers because he doesn't want her to be friends with men. So now the only time I can see and talk with her is if I stop by the shop she works in, and any time she sees me outside of there she acts like I'm a stranger so he doesn't find out that we know each other. To me, this is a HUUUUUGE red flag, but I don't know how to air my concerns to her. Any advice on what I should do?
Don't know what to do; didn't know where to post this, really.

...See more So, a friend of mine was dating this girl, but things didn't work out and he just didn't want to be with her anymore. She's always been a close friend of mine as well, but now it's starting to kinda lean into something more. Is this something I should pursue, and talk to him about or should I just leave it alone and try to push to stay just friends with her? They've been split for a few months now. And I'd never do it behind his back, I'm not that kind of person. If I go forward, I'm going to put it out in the open. I'm just torn, because he claims he has no feelings for her at all, which is why he left her. But on the other hand I keep hearing "nah man, bro/guy code" which has me anxious about the whole thing being a big faux pas, even though we do genuinely have feelings for each other. So I dunno. Maybe I'll just talk to him about it and see how he feels about the situation.
(Trigger warning) I think this is it

...See more I don't know why I'm making a thread for this. Maybe I just feel like if I just get it out on something I'll feel better? Or maybe I'm hoping someone, somewhere can say something to stop me? I'm not sure. What I do know is that I'm done. I'm so sick of feeling like this, and after almost 3 decades I'm ready to just give up. I've already started getting rid of all my stuff so nobody has to clean out all my shit. It's not like I want to. But I'm at this point I just can't deal anymore. I can't turn to anyone, and even my mother seems to want me gone. On top of everything, I can't seem to do anything right for anyone and nobody wants anything to do with me unless it's something beneficial solely to them. I do apologise, this is a rather selfish post and I'm sorry if it upsets anyone. I'm just done. With everything.
