Question Posted Thursday November 20 2008, 12:46 am
Ok so I dated this guy two times and eventually I came to my senses. He was EXTREMELY awkward and completely insensitive. He had pretty much no emotions. He didn't even care when I dumped him! However, I did notice that he began associating with my friends and my brother, who is also a friend. He was getting on my nerves, not because I felt like he was "stealing" my friends, but because I felt like he was waaaayyy more involved in my life then he should be. It was weird, and most of my friends thought he was extremely annoying. Especially my brother. Well, this guy pretty much had no friends except for mine, and none of mine had his lunch period. So he'd sit with my brother because he thought they were "friends". Now, my brother ran away two weeks and one day ago today, and I am pretty sensitive about it because he was one of my closest friends and we had a great relationship. Well, the other day, my ex JUST notices he's gone and starts annoying everyone and asking where he is. For some reason, this pisses me off (sorry for the language). Not only can I NOT STAND this guy, but now he is pretending like he was my bro's best friends and all caring JUST NOW after two weeks and one day of him being gone! I don't know why it ticks me off so much, but I feel like slapping this kid. Do I even have the right to feel this way? Does anyone understand or should I be ok with this? I just don't know why this upsets me so much. I don't get why he would care, my brother's business was certainly NOT his. I don't know what to feel... Help?

You don't need to be okay with this. Your brother has run away and this guy is an insensative lout. Only a zombie would be perfectly okay with this. Just don't be violent or overly cruel. If this lout approaches you, glare at him, tell him you don't want to talk about it and to please leave you alone. Be has firm as you need to be until he gets your message.
