me and my guy friend have drifted apart.
we no longer talk.
he Imed me today talking about him and this one girl having sex, and that was the end of it.
thats all he has said to me in like a week.
and i just broke down, bc i feel like he said that just to rub it in my face and it really hurt.
why do you think he did that? was he trying to make me jealous?

The same thing kind of happened to me, this guy and me had a thing though, but then he ignored me for 5 months and all the sudden told me he was going out with someone. I think he could be trying to make you jealous and I totally know why you'd think that made you hurt. You could alwaysspring it back on him and try to make him jealous, or ask him who he likes, unless its the girl. And then you could always ask him like, "Okay so, you don't talk to me for a long time, and then all the sudden you tell me about you having sex, is there something going on?" I know, some guys find it annoying when I girl wants to "know everything" but maybe he wants to you? [ volleyballgamer's advice column | Ask volleyballgamer A Question ]
cloudy_conscience answered Tuesday April 15 2008, 12:07 pm: Yes, probably, or maybe not. Guys often don't know when they are 'rubbing' it in your face, maybe he just wanted to let you know because he is your friend and he wants you involved in his life. Maybe he just came out and said it because he didn't know how to say it, or maybe he just wanted to make you jealous.
He may have liked you at a previous time and you didn't feel the same or didn't even know about it and this is his way of geting back at you. Maybe you should try talking to him and letting him know that he hurt your feelings. You should always be able to talk to your friends about anything.
Alin75 answered Tuesday April 15 2008, 8:45 am: The guy is an idiot. I would really like to say more and try to give you advice, but really if he IMed you to tell you that, he's a jackass.
I reckon he told you that as a combination of things, including making you jealous, fueling his ego, and also to rub your face in it (as mentioned by the columnist below). He would have to be the world's most insensitive person not to realise how this would make you feel... so I just dont buy that this is the case.
I know it probably feels like someone just kicked you in the gutt, but it will pass. Love (when it goes wrong) is a little like a drug addiction one has to beat. You have to keep sight of the fact that this is temporary, and that all will return to normal. Do your best to keep your mind on other things, and try to move on.
thelaura answered Tuesday April 15 2008, 3:55 am: Most probably. Or he wants to brag about it to .. anyone who listens basically.
but y'know what? You're better than that. You don't need his immaturity bringing you down.
I know it hurts, but whatever you do, don't show how it's making you feel to him - because he won't stop.
Act like you don't care and within time, it will start to hurt less, I promise. and in time, you'll find someone who actually deserves you and makes you feel as special as you do to him (assuming you liked him in *that* way).
