When someone wants you, but youre with someone else. then the roles reverse.

i was with my boyfriend for roughly 11 months (or somewhere around there) and we were okay. i was working, so was he, but upstate while i worked in the city.

One day i went into a Sleepy's to rest during lunch. I sat on a bed and didn't want to get up because i was so tired. I met this guy that worked there and we just had an entire conversation during my lunch.

It was more like alcoholics anonymous because we ended up telling each other our life stories even though we had just met by chance.

I had to go back to work so he asked me for my number, i gave it to him and he said he would call me. Of course, he did call. The night after, he asked me if i had a boyfriend. Of course, i answered, yes and he got a little discouraged. But It was nice because he turned out to be a really awesome guy and now we're actually best friends. He knew i had a boyfriend and we still hang out whenever neither of us are busy.

thats the nice part. Now comes the sucky "this crap isn't meant to be, is it?" part. about 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend and i were officially not together anymore. We had established that one Monday night. The day after, i called my best friend and told him what happened. He got upset, and i asked him why he was upset.

Turns out, around the same time (that night) my boyfriend and I were breaking up, my best friend and one of his exes got back together. ... LOVE REALLY SUCKS.
