A close friend now hates me for seemingly no reason; then a mutual friend said it was over a boy. My perfect man. And I have to let him go. They're better off together. He's concerned about our age gap (8 years isn't huge in my opinion, but in his it is) and that won't be a problem with her. Give up the perfect man, or lose a friend.
I'm going to have to give in, like I do every time. I'm tired of being pushed over, but it's the right thing to do.
