Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Myself, I hate men at this very moment.
Still cannot shake the feelings of anger, betrayal, and having been used, by someone who didn't know better than telling me "I know you are in trouble, but I need some space right now and you're getting on my nerves". Is someone like that to be labelled a friend ? Bollocks to him.

Godz, I always thought people were joking when they said "A friend in need....is a pain in the arse". That's shocking, no he is not a friend, he was never a friend.

Paint his name on a plate and smash it, think of him no more. I am so sorry, I hope these mean tides ebb soon.

The problem is that I blame myself, I might have been too demanding, after all, he was busy with his new girlfriend and his PhD.

No, don't blame yourself. You're his friend and he yours. Friends should be able to call for help. Not exclusively, you can't intrude on a relationship, nor too much on work, but need should be honoured.

Smash the plate and walk away. In this guys are better, they get piseed, wake up feeling bad and then forget...everything and move on. I don't know about girls yet, chocolate and red wine ?

I am not that into chocolate. My trick is an at least 5 miles swim and sleeping over it which is a good alternative to sending 10 texts in a row to say how little I think of him/her ; I now manage to store the texts without sending them ;-)
My female mates do the Haagen Dazs/ Ben& Jerry's pint binge a lot, though.

Yea, repeatedly sending texts to say how little you care is one of those mixed messages.

I'd avoid that if I were you.

I do at least 7 hours sports a week.

But FIVE miles!  In one shot?  If so, you are my new hero!  (I have to admit: If I swam 5 miles -- and did not die from it -- I would be too exhausted to feel down myself.)
