Just Best Friends how it hurts...



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by Trieste2 17 yrs ago
I’ve got this friend from university days who moved to HK years ago and made it big here…successful career, loads of money, big house, he’s also the most charming, charismatic, gorgeous guy to be around but no we were never ‘an item’ just the best of friends. He treated me like his little sister and we had the most wonderful relationship supporting each other in good times and bad, advising each other in everything ,he was always my rock. I think I knew him better than I knew myself.

We kept in close contact over the years so when I got a job and moved to HK a year ago it was as if all the years evaporated and we were back to our ‘best bosom buddies’ relationship. He took me around everywhere, introduced me to all his friends and colleagues, helping me with many things I had no idea about as I was a newbie to HK. He spent a lot of time and energy on me and I always ribbed him that his girlfriend might get jealous, to which he replied he didn’t have time for one. Now the guy to me seems to have it all so I just assumed he was kidding.

Pretty soon we were hanging out together everywhere seeing each other every weekend and through the week too, many times he would pick me up after work and go out to dinner or we’d meet up for lunch, he’s take me shopping which most guys hate, buy me things to surprise me, invite me over and cook you get the picture.

I told myself there is no way I’m going to fall for this guy and ruin this great rapport between us so this easy going relationship continued for eight months as ‘just good friends’ and NO we never slept together. He’d hug me and kiss me on the cheek but that’s all and that was OK he was my best friend. We’d get teased about it people would ask when we’re getting married that kind of thing and he’d laugh and say 'One day'.

So a month ago he went on one of his business trips and a friend’s husband from the US called me said he was in town and asked me to have dinner with him so I agreed. Turns out this married guy was a sleaze, started hitting on me at dinner and this bar we ended up at and to make things worse some of my friend’s colleagues were there too. I made a quick exit. Next day my friend came back and came to see me, instead of a big hug he was furious with me and acted like I cheated on him. Demanded to know what the hell I was doing with that guy and I tried to explain but he wasn’t having a bar of it. So I got angry too told him ‘We’re just friends, you can date whoever you want and I can date whoever I want’.

This didn’t go down too well. He looked like I just kicked him told me to grow up, said he would take my advice and walked out. Next day the guard gave me a big box of stuff I left at his place. That was a month ago. I have never felt this bad EVER. I’ve been through break ups before but this is different we were never really together well we didn’t sleep together. I realize I was fooling myself and was crazy about him for a long time just always we never took it further. Don’t know what to do, just want to crawl in a hole. He won’t take my calls or reply to my e-mails so I just don’t know what to do.

Knock on his door. Don't do emails and phone calls.

We never slept together everything else was the perfect relationship.He was thoughtful,charming,caring,attentive,always thought of doing things I enjoyed he always made me laugh, we hugged,kisses on the cheek,holding hands so I just thought he was happy with that and I went along with it.No pressure.

Last few months sure there was a certain amount of sexual tension but I dispelled that idea, he could have his pick of women from the ones throwing themselves at him.I needled him about his love life and he'd smile and said he had me and didn't need some high-maintenance,demanding,greedy girlfriend.I have no idea he wanted more and I didn't want to set myself up to be hurt and lose the friendship.Now it's like I'm going through some nightmare divorce I jump when the phone rings,I don't go anywhere anymore,I've had a couple of friends say how sorry they were to hear we broke up,I can't talk to anyone about this nobody believes we were not together in the first place.

I feel like a complete fool I just don't know how he felt about me if anything.If I go knocking on his door and he's totally indifferent...I'm just not ready for that.

This guy doesn't sound normal to me. Are you sure he is not gay? I guess you guys are not 16.

No way gay he was in a long term relationship and some not so serious.He's 34 I'm 32.In our university days he was always with some girl.We just had this special relationship most people can't understand.Just a mutual caring brother-sister thing.

I thought maybe he's not that into me but on a number of occasions in the last few months he stopped himself from kissing me maybe I should have been the one to initiate it.

It always gets complicated to work out a relationship with a good friend.


Don't be afraid if he is indifferent. It seems you mean a lot to him and he will not forget it so quickly. I understand the feeling for which I missed someone before. So just go for it and be brave.


Plus, just for referrence: my friend saved her bf (after she ran away from marriage registration) by seducing him in the car. They are happy couple now:-)

Have to agree with JC. You have been good friends for more than a decade. So why not just sit him down and have a heart to heart talk with him? I know you are both mad at each other but the love/friendship/companionship/"brother-sister-thing" of more than a decade didnt just evaporate with one stupid misunderstanding-fight, did it? If it did, I dont think you had what you thought you had with him. Say sorry. Sometime loosing is winning in a relationship. Then explain your side of the story rationally. If he still dosent accept your apology/explanation, what more can you do?

It sounds like a weird relationship anyhow.


You want to sit around for something which would have happened if it was going to?


Be honest with yourself - is that what you want ?


So what if he has a big house and loads of money, move on and dont waste time.


You are ont the first to experience this senario, which usually ends the same way

I agree with your friend Trieste (does that mean sad in Italian?) GROW UP! Go and knock on his door and if that fails burn it down.You have to have it out with him.Don't give up that easily because of a stupid mistake,the way I see it your friend is jealous I mean come on you said he was furious so that means it's beyond the 'just good friends' act for him or he wouldn't care as much and demand an explanation.He's acting like a cheated lover.

He's probably left the ball in your court about making moves out of respect for you/not wanting to move things too fast/whatever reasons he senses maybe you are not ready to take the relationship to the next level......and you did say he stopped himself from kissing you a few times did you want to kiss him back???

Well that should tell you something,and how many guys would spend so much time and energy on someone if they didn't have feelings more than brotherly feelings?I don't buy JC's theory about you keeping him company in his lonely everyday life if as you say many women are on the prowl for him and he's loaded not that money makes any difference as you don't seem to be impressed by that I think?

He also told you what he though about demanding,high maintanence women blah blah well maybe you've been too easygoing.Acting like teenagers definitely.

Get out of your hole and go see him before some money grubbing harpy snatches him!

I also think you have a low self esteem and are pretty insecure in this are you thinking you're not good enough for him?Time to bite the bullet you've been blind,more than likely you're both in love with each other and have been for ages just wasting time pussyfooting hiding around with a 'we're just good friends' act.

Hope you guys work it out and take care.

It all sounds a bit odd. However the last thing you should do is to go and beg on the guy's doorstep. After all, you have tried to contact him- e mails, calls. The only thing you can do I think, is, as flashback says, just leave it for now.

I wonder whether he went ballistic more so because he feels humiliated/ no face in front of his colleagues who think you two are a proper item and how scandalous than the fact that you had dinner with some guy. I really dunno, it's definitely weird because he hasn't tried to sleep with you. Unless it's a cultural thing of course.

It's late but I cannot sleep.Went out with a girlfried for dinner tonight ariund my friend's company hoping I would run into him.Ran into that jerk of an accounts guy who saw me that night instead.He was all commiserating smiles said hello and suggested we should have a drink sometimes.

I mean 'AS IF!!!'

So I sent my friend an e-mail telling him... not really expecting him to reply but he did.Said the guy's a player into girlie bars but not married so if I'm into playboys then go for it!AND to top it all off "I suggest you make the poor bastard wait for eight months to have sex with him like you did with me that way you can find out if he really loves you or not."

That made me really angry but I restrained myself,it was the only answer to any of my explanatory emails about that fateful night I ever got from him.

I sent another one 'please meet me we really need to talk' and he just replied 'busy and you had your chance!'

Drank about three quaters of wine opened that box he sent me from his house full of photos mostly trying to put them into albums.What have I done?He's completely heartless I just want a chance to explain that's all.If he doesn't want to have anything to do with me that's fine.I just have a horrible feeling I'll never see him again.

I know this is a strange relationship I just need some clarification or closure.

Go and stand outside his door and wait. Do it every night until he will talk to you. He obviously feels he sacrificed for you, now swallow your pride, don't worry if you seem stupid.. but yes do it asap imho!

I agree with the posters who are advising you to try and establish communication and at least convince him to hear you out, then tell him what he means to you. On the other hand, just a word of consolation in case it doesn't work out: if he's this unbending and rigid -- unwilling to even communicate or hear you out -- on this issue, that personality trait would not bode well for a future relationship. Sooner or later there would be some other miscommunication or misunderstanding, and then if he took a heartless or even cruel stance you would be stuck in a heartless marriage. Check out the fairly recent flick Painted Veil for an interesting view of life with a spouse who refuses to forgive.

let's pretend he actually was your boyfriend (as he and your mutual friends thought)and look at his reaction.


On his return from a business trip he heard through the grapevine that you had dinner with a friend's husband. I'm sure this perfectly innocent act would not inspire most boyfriends to react badly...unless you two were making out at the table...most well-adjusted guys would ask, 'how was dinner?' and after hearing about your experience say, 'what a creep blah blah is'...wouldn't they?


...but this information prompts him to accuse you of cheating and not 'have a bar' of your valid explanation...not only does he have no trust in you, he believes you would cheat with your friend's husband and then lie about it! I doubt he ever had you on a pedestal if he comes to this conlusion so easily.


...dont be a character in a bad sitcom where the couple just can't seem to get it together and random obstacles and misunderstandings keep cropping up that keep them apart...find someone who you can communicate with, someone who listens to you and doesn't assume the worst of you.


Do you thrive on drama? Can you handle unpredictable behaviour due to your guy's inability to share his feelings? then, go for it. But if you have had this amount of heartache already, im afraid you were star-crossed (nearly) lovers. Better luck next time!

He's acting rude, inconsiderate and judgmental without really listening to you. Email will not help you get clarity, so do look him up in person. It will give you some clarity.


He's hurt. He may think you were taking your time (8 months or even earlier while at university) so you could validate if he's the right man for you. He thought you'd respect him if he gave you no pressure sexually but I am sure he sent you signals much earlier. He probably felt not acknowledged but then again you laughed together, spent romantic time together etc. But do you really know yourself and what you want? You say you know him better than yourself...mmmm...maybe not. Perhaps you can reflect on what makes you really want to spend time with a person you profoundly love.


Right now you're friend is very upset, feels hurt, feels misunderstood and feels angry. He feels he may be losing you and is seeking attention now. But that he does the negative way and that just spirals down. So go see him but maybe wait a few days so you both calm down. Express what has gone through you the past 8 months and how you saw your relationship together. From what you type about it, I'm missing what you really loved. If you can't articulate that for yourself and only cherished the attention he gave you, then you are missing something and should move on. Follow your heart, but use your brains.

I think the way he is reacting is unfair-bordering on emotional blackmail. If you can't solve a simple thing like this, I can foresee that you'd have bigger 'fights' in the future where he's get angry because of some silly thing and sulk around for ages, refusing to speak to you and making you feel all guilty even when you didn't really do anything wrong.


I am sure you have your reasons for liking him/being in love with him but I can only pick out that emotional bullying aspect that you might want to keep in mind.


I have a friend who went though the exact same situation as yours- good friends for several years, suddenly fell in love, got together and he bullied her throughout their 3 year relationship, and she couldn't see that what he did was unfair as she always was made to 'see' that her actions had been wrong in any particular conflict. He'd sulk and act rude and say insulting things, and she'd scurry around him, trying to placate him even though it was obvious it was a small misunderstanding.


Of course, perhaps your case is a one-off thing and not saying he is the same bully boyfriend as my friend's ex. Just hope you'd nip this in the bud though.

Good luck.

Either the guy is a jerk or you're one. University and 8 months of meeting so many times a week and both of you could not confess to the other of your love??


There is no love!! Period.

If it was there, he would not have waited for 8 months and something so minor to happen to go into hiding!! He is over-reacting and is not in touch with his feelings. A total disaster.


My suggestion -- if you think you cannot live without this guy and find yourself madly in love with him (suddenly too!!), both of you need to sit down like two grown up (??) mature people and talk.


Good luck.

What a mess (sigh).He's still pissed off with you and is making you suffer.Agree with other posters he's over reacting over this one incident but I also think it goes deeper than that.Now he's on an emotional power trip and in total control of the situation,something he probably felt he couldn't control in those eight months.Before you were the one holding out on him but EIGHT MONTHS???

The way you describe him as being "the most charming, charismatic, gorgeous guy to be around" sounds like you were half in love with the guy from the very beginning.You obviously enjoyed each other's company very much and were more than 'just good friends' all along or why would he introduce you to all his friends and colleagues and that remark about marrying you 'One day'?

Maybe you didn't realise at which point you really fell for him, as you mentioned before "I told myself there is no way I’m going to fall for this guy and ruin this great rapport between us so this easy going relationship continued..."

Well the point is you DID fall for him and brainwashed yourself into thinking "Nah,I'm not good enough for him,he's rich,successfull,can have any woman etc etc.."

By hiding behind this friends stuff you undermined yourself and set yourself up to be hurt without realising it.

Maybe you had all these great memories from your uni days and kept in touch over the years " we had the most wonderful relationship supporting each other in good times and bad, advising each other in everything ,he was always my rock. I think I knew him better than I knew myself."

You were obviously very fond of one another for a long time.Moving to HK in itself was the next level to this relationship.Sure he took you around everywhere that's just friends caring but if it continued for eight months where you were hanging out together as JC said more than the normal hetro buddies hang out you should have realised he thought you were pretty special to him period.He didn't date anyone else did he?

You were everything to him and he feels you let him down big time.Those sarcastic replies to your e-mails were just his defense mechanism kicking in,now he's letting you be the chaser as opposed to being the chasee (is that a word?)

Time is slipping by and you've got to do something QUICK his pride has been hurt and you know what they say about pride coming before a fall...Knock on his door,camp out out on his doorstep,maybe even go to his company and wait for him if you love this guy (and I think you definitely do)You read the wrong signals he was giving you before but it's never too late to change that,I don't believe him saying "You had your chance" everyone should have a second chance if he loves you he will give you another once his silly pride has been salved.

Thanks all for your replies...

Flashback-I always knew about his relationships but not in HK I just assumed in the early stages he had one as he was always surrounded by female colleagues female friends when we were out.But the amount of time we spent together he wasn't seeing anyone else I realised as time went on.

Nicelady-many special things happened and we had some really great times together he took me to Hainan with his sister and her boyfriend and to Singapore on one of his business trips,mamy ,many happy times.

Momo and Peet-I think you are the closest to understanding this.At university I was one of 'the guys,the group' and really think fraternising with one's best friend can't happen that's why I didn't do it.I didn't want to lose the friendship but hell yes I was tempted,the chemistry was there I thought I'd look foolish if I made it obvious I wanted him (and him having a bod like Adonis with a killer smile doesn't help.)I was just really scared we'd become lovers and then we'd break up and nothing.

Zonked-I've 'loved him' for a long time but not in a bf sense how to explain that?I didn't want to be 'in love' with him but somewhere along the line it happened.It's not just because I miss his company (which I do) but many other things.Yes I'm a jerk the longer this no sex thing went on the harder it became to break it.Lots of sexual tension but lots of awkwardness the last on my part.I'm definitely a jerk.

JC-All you say makes perfect sense.Money and power never impresed me or thinking heck I'm 32 he's a good catch.He was a good catch back at uni too when neither of us had money.He always told me one of the reasons he was with me because I was 'real and 'down to earth'he's not emotionally retarded lol he's one of the most open people I know.

Authentic and Balzac-I know he thinks I've played him maybe that I'm a pr$%ck teaser so I can understand why he's angry now after I've had time to have a good think about it.What's there to love about him?Everything and more.I compared many past guys to my friend he was the role model for the ideal guy in my eyes,charming,witty,charismatic,thoughful,always makes me laugh,morally supportive ,makes great paella,all things..it got to the stage when we were thinking the same thing and I'd say it first and he'd say 'hey get out of my mind'.It's not the attention he gave me because it was both ways it was a million little things and crazy impusive stuff we shared,many times he was waiting for me after work and we were driving along and I said 'hey where are we going?Home?'and he'd take me to some special place I'd never been to before.I love his boundless energy and his love of life much the same as I have.He knows what he wants out of life.Guess I was the confused one.

Now it's a stalemate.From his past breakups I know how they went down,he cut off all contact much the same as he is doing now.I'll try to remain phylosophical about it nothing much else I can do though when I finally do see him I'm thinking of throwing myself at him.Ahhhhhhhh getting hammered last night didn't help JC you're right.

I've never slept with one of my good/best friends before so I don't know what happens when you cross that border.That's why I never entertained the idea it's just a tangled mess I guess and I've been blind and stupid and unwilling to take a risk felt kind of incestuous but there were definitely times....

How long has it been now?Longer than a month.You should have knocked on his door ages ago.Letting this situation get this far is totally destructive and the longer you leave it the worse it's gonna get.You should have been banging on his door soon after he wouldn't take your calls or reply to your e-mails.

Now you're depressed,getting sloshed,thinking what an idiot and a jerk you've been and spiralling in a downward loop and he's still stewing in his anger mode.Definitely a stalemate.

He doesn't want to talk to you by phone or e-mail so you have to go and see the guy.The writing is on the wall honey.You've had time to think this through and analyse your feelings and well,you know his already.

Are you really in love with this guy or is it merely co-dependency and separation anxiety talking here because you haven't been in HK that long to establish other friendships?

You say he's been the role model for what your ideal guy should be like and you go on describing him as your perfect guy.I won't rehash the 'why didn't you take advantage of it' advice but you went to Hainan and Singapore with him and he didn't make a pass at you?I find that stretching the imagination a tad.He probably wanted to change the environment to give you a chance to get naked nudge nudge.

What a combination! He puts you on a pedastul and you idolize him haven't you guys heard about COMMUNICATION? I can't figure this out other.Agree with Aijin it's great drama but you have to break this situation and YOU are the only one that can do it.Sitting at home drinking and thinking about the past and how great this guy is and how you should have done this,said that is not taking any action.Be procative not passive with this.Better do something QUICK it's been toooooooooo loooooooooong already,do something before he moves on and you've lost your chance and your friendship!

On the way home from work I was resolved to go over to his place and see him and have it out once and for all, then I saw him across the street, he saw me too and waved I was about to run across the road but then a girl walked up to him.

He looked back at me I swear he shrugged then they walked off. All I could do was stare as people jostled around me I must have stood there for about ten minutes.Well guess I got my answer.No point going to see him or trying to call him now.

Thank you cute sense France or anywhere but here is a great idea by this stage.I had a glass of wine with dinner but that's all just too tired these days I can't sleep well at night.

His sister called me just now, she’s my age, we’re close friends we all shared a house together in our uni days. Asked how everything was going in HK how are ‘we’ told her there was no ‘we and never was’ and the whole sordid story came out.

She also said that since I moved to HK all he did was talk about me and the whole family thought it was great and about time and everyone was so ‘happy for us’.

Well I was crying on the phone and she wanted to know what happened so I told her she said she would call him. I asked her not to do that said I give up he’s got somebody else now and I told her I had nobody to confide in burst into tears again and told her I’ve been posting on a website for advice.

She told me to pull myself together and what website wasn’t sure I wanted to expose myself that much but I trust her and everything is just awful. I don’t know, it was a horrible day seeing him with someone else I'm mentally exhausted so I broke down and told her I’d e-mail her the link which I did and now I regret it but what the heck it’s good therapy to write.

Trieste- Consolation. You are going through an emotional roller coaster. You may have avoided a long term problem by him giving you the cold shoulder and having to break up now. Go relax by doing things you have not done in a long time, explore and be challenged. Ask yourself if are feeling insulted or challenged by rejection? Be proud of who you are, laugh, shine, look great, speak your mind, be controversial or pleasing, you'll attract many. Marrying whom you believe 'is' your best friend could have been fatal. Don't believe that marrying whom you believe is your best friend is the ultimate. Cut your losses, go party, have a glass of wine. A lot of people care about you

Dearest Trieste :-)

TOTALLY IGNORE WHAT "YOU'RE JOKING" HAS POSTED.

Nobody is perfect and life is a learning process and we learn from our mistakes (we regreted those mistakes, not proud of those actions and wished we could turn the clock back!) in order to grown and become a better person.

Hey! Girl! You didn't loose him! He's the one that miss out on you and you didn't sleep with him be proud of that and value it.

I thought he was rather mean to tease you by waving at you and then walking away with another girl. If he's aim is to chant a gril and take her to bed easily, let him be as he isn't worth it.

You have cried enough, My Dear - TIME FOR HEALING! SMILE! LAUGHT! You're still young and the sun is still smiling at you everyday. There are plenty of caring and loving people around.

You have done your part to save the friendship/relationship. It takes 2 hands to clap to make it work. If he doesn't want to give you his hands he is the one that has the problem not you, My Dear Trieste. Move on a creat your own happiness.

Take care of yourself. Have a long rest and wake up refreshed and SMILE :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Be strong and smile this isn't the end of the world you're just in the relationship purgatory and this phase will pass,believe me.Treat it lightly not like the guy has ripped out your heart and stomped on it,come on be brave,and 'pull yourself together'.

Actually if dream boy is reading this thread it could work to your advantage seeing you two never actually sat down and discussed your feelings for each other.....AND.....both of you have been acting like a couple of teenagers,sorry.Oh and if you two eventually do work things out you owe me a drink.

Flashback mate,she's the most exasperating,elusive and infuriating woman I know but she's also the most amazing woman I know that's why I love her.Last couple of months she nearly drove me around the bend.

Mate and all the others,I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty stuff the 'why' or the 'what' here,don't have the time or the gift of the writing gab to satify the curious.

Let's just say the blame lies mainly with me for not being upfront and direct from the very beginning and she's to blame for acting like a kid every time I tried to get serious.Leave it at that!

Should have pulled her pants down and smacked her bottom,might do that tonight anyway :)

Aijin you crack me up but too true!


Trieste should have started this thread a month ago but alas we've been robbed of a good story by the 'deus ex machina' in the guise of AsiaXpat and the power of the net lol.

Alas life is stranger than fiction and no chance for poor agent A to step in with Meaty from the Fantasy thread,Scrambled Fruitcake and a f*ck buddy on the side et all... for added spice.


I do have a question though,to JaiD,if you didn't read about this here what would you have done about poor Trieste?


Oh well..the day is not over yet so maybe it will take another twist but sincerely wish them luck in love and life again!

good luck and enjoy the moment together Trieste and JaiD!!!


Besides the lovely romantic ideals everyone here seems to hope for, start a thread about what you actually talked about and then what you'll follow through on...filtered from the nice wine you probably enjoyed..seriously, nice to see this forum bringing you together. have sex, enjoy lustfully :)

I want to thank everyone for their advice,just to let you all know that everything worked out and we moved in together this weekend.

In the great scheme of things it was a natural progression.

I've been on a mental high this week and I've learnt my lesson in life about the importance of communicating your feelings...we laughed and we talked about many things too many to list here authentic 100,and we made many plans for the future.


Everything feels so right like it was meant to be.Sorry no Korean cliffhanging drama plots to end.


So finally I have to give credit where credit is due:
