Question Posted Wednesday September 20 2006, 12:07 pm
Dear Advice columnists,
I'm going to get right to it. Ok, last year, I became really good friends with this guy that I met in my freshman year. He's like a cousin to me, and he's almost literally apart of our family (although he isn't related to us as I thought). Anyway, we used to wrestle, talk on the phone like a lot, and we used to be so close. And this year, my sophmore year, it's like I don't even exist. I know his new girlfriend and she wouldn't tell him to behave this way. My question, what's his problem. I've even asked him what his problem is and I've given him space. I've even helped that jerk on a project and he continues to act like a pain. I was sitting alone and he just didn't say a word to me. Others did but he didn't. He even went to another table, knowing that I know him better than they do, and talked to them instead of me. Yes, I'm jealous and angry. I try not to let it bother me. Will someone help me understand what's going on b/c I've tried. And I feel like something big is really missing now all of a sudden. Why is he doing this? Should I tell him to not talk to me at all anymore?

Maybe he is trying to meet newer people or wants to appear cool by ignoring you for some reason. We can only speculate, but I would ask him directly, and tell him you feel dissed. If he is really a friend, then he will understand why you feel like you do. If he does not care, then he is a jerk. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
