advice

Well...I have been declared a friend with benefits with my friend Brandon. But, I told him I wanted to be more, but he has a girlfriend. And just this morning, I found out that he was depressed over something that happened with his gf, this big fight her parents had. He told me he was crying...this was a side that I had never seen of Brandon. And then I realized that I am probably nothing more of a friend to him who is in the way of a relationship. But when I found this out, I didn't know if I should be upset or not. Then I got the news of everything okay between the parents and stuff now, I was happy for him...just because he was happy. But what am I going to do? Should I leave him alone from now on? Stop talking to him? I really don't want to be a problem between the relationship. And it would hurt me so if I did. So I would be grateful if someone gave me some advice.
PS: Sorry it was so long.

hello there.
I'm sure you've heard this before buuuut:
Friends with benefits usually doesn't work out so well. You can say that you won't get emotionally attached, but usually you do. It's hard not to, and completely understandable if you do. Also, since this guy has a girlfriend, it's not good to mess around with him. I would back off and merely be his friend and there for him for tough situations like this.
Good luck!
Katie
