So, Michael* came over last night. He was a little upset. He didn't really say much, and he was really calm! REALLY calm! I was a little worried when he showed up. I was expecting him to be angry, not like extreme angry, but upset angry. But he wasn't. We just sat on the couch and watched some movies. I asked about what had happened with Allison*. He said that he had asked her about what she said, she admitted everything. He was really angry with her. He had left her sitting in a cafe alone! that is how angry he was. (he did explain to her that we are really close because we are best friends before he left) She asked him to choose between her and me, and he said that he never would. So, he left her at the cafe... by herself. I did feel a little bit for her (no one wants to be left alone in a cafe). He refused to talk about it after that. I just let it go, he isn't a person who responds well to being pushed. He will talk in his own time.
After he told me what happened we just sat there for a while. We watched another movie and didn't talk much.
When he left he seemed ok.
He called this morning to ask if he could come over again tonight. We are having Fish and Chips and then watching Criminal Minds. I think he is trying to keep himself busy. When I asked what he was doing today he listed a whole heap of things. He isn't usually a person who is very busy (ever).
So what happened was really unexpected! I was not thinking he would be so calm, not at all! But I am happy that I still have my best friend, relatively in-tact.

Okay. So after reading this, I went and read your earlier post on this, and I just can't believe that someone would act this way! (I mean...seriously?? How long had they been dating?)
ReplyDeleteI would say you will always have a good friend in Michael*
For some reason I'm slightly peeved off. Had she really thought he was worth it, she'd have accepted you as his friend. Instead, she gave him the ultimatum between herself and you. You're right though, Michael* will eventually talk. You're also right at leaving him be as well. See? You are an awesome friend. And he's an awesome friend for deciding the ultimatum that way. If it makes you a bit better? [or not, apologies if not] but think of it this way. If she actually had the guts to approach you like that, imagine how she would have thought about you, or spoken about you without you being present. I'd presume it'll be 100 times worse. Thus then in brief, maybe leaving her at the cafe to reflect may have been a decent choice. Not good, but decent.
ReplyDeleteUntil then.

He needs good company. You're doing just that. Thanks anyway for your comment:)
ReplyDeleteUntil next time.

This Michael chap is quite clearly a legend. You tell that boy from me that he is lucky to have you and that he behaved quite admirably in my opinion. This girl was quite clearly not worth his time. And don't you go fretting about her being hard done by, she's the one who slagged you off and then asked him to chose between his best friend of years and someone he had known for what is relative to a single sunset. Good boy Michael and good girl "Wonderland". You've both done the right thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd the dog. I know, right? She comes up with some good ones that intriguing girl:)
Oh, and no. Unfortunately the answer I am seeking still flies a little too high for me to reach it at the moment. I'm hoping it will land soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing on the message. He's lucky to have you. I wish I had someone the same. You feeling a little bad for her is just showing how nice you are, caring about others that might not be deserving of being cared about. It was a blunt thing to do, but I'm a firm believer that some people need to be treated a little bluntly in order to get the message through, otherwise they continue to take advantage of people.
ReplyDeleteThe question? Well, it's to do with a little life decision. Namely if I should move back to London or stay in Australia.
He's a good guy :-)
ReplyDeleteYou brightened my day:) Thanks so much:) That's exactly my thoughts, and what I would HOPE a lot of other people would say. Problem is that there are always people who will tell you otherwise, and lately I've been listening a bit too much to the nay sayers. I think I see the birds coming back :)
ReplyDeleteHow much I agree with you I could never describe :)
