I'm sorry to hear that. Didn't understand much but sorry anyway.

I, too, am having a hard time trying to follow exactly what the relationships are, but at any rate I hope things get better for you.

I'm sorry you're going through this. 
I too have felt abandoned by people I considered my friends and it's not fun. I hope you are able to feel better soon and know who your true friends are.

Don't get me started on friends. Either they've tried using me for their own ends while confusing me with actual friend stuff, or they've walked out of my life altogether.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

As has happened to me before with this friend when he gets involved with a woman, I don't hear from him for months or years at a time. The person who visited me yesterday kept calling the girl my friend's "wife", which means that in the space of time that I've been out of contact with this friend, he's married and I was not invited.
I'm sorry...

It is hard to trust people nowadays. People act nice, but if you barely know each other, and are already asking for stuff like money, or coming multiple times a day for a ride somewhere, it's probably best to just cut them off.
