the ending of a friendship

Feb 05, 2008 23:51

So I had this friend once upon a time. We will call him Andrew Hannah for the sake of fiction. Mind you this is only fiction, or is it? Well for 10 years he and I had been friends. I had ignored a lot of his failings, as I am sure he had me. One of Andrew Hannahs failings happened to be women. Oh he was good at getting them. Amazing women, they would fall in love, and he was never able to stay faithful to a single one. He would hold "love" to the highest of standards, but his definition was mostly selfish. Caring mainly about what was physically possible in the moment. Oh later, when the consequences came to be paid he would cry and offer crocodile tears to his lover. Sometimes they would take him back, sometimes they would wise up. About 4 years ago he found a girl to fall in love with again. She had a boyfriend but that did not matter to either of them. A match made in heaven. She would cheat on him, he would cry, then justify cheating on her. It was a relationship of physical and social indulgence. Often times he would spoil his girlfriend to the point of him not being able to cover his own responsibilities. Sometimes this only affected him, like the time when he got his brand new scion TC repo'ed (Lol, in this purely fictitious account mine got repo'ed on the same day). Sometimes it affected other like being constantly late in rent payments to his roommates, sometimes even deciding to pay to go to AUSTRIA to have sex with another girl he said he loved instead of paying his rent. I was willing to overlook this as well. Fictitiously mind you.

Now I always thought that those who engaged with this Andrew Hannah kind of knew how he was. Loving at times, but ultimately he would hurt you because his love becomes self absorbed. I guess I never figured that this would extend to me. But you can not fault a snake for biting you if you offer it your hand. Andrew Hannah and I had discussed how depressed I had been over the passed couple months. It had honestly started to affect my relationship with my fiance, I was no longer able to always be as affectionate and as emotionally close as I was when I wasn't depressed. This is caused my loving fiance to also become somewhat depressed. Of course the being the great friend that this fictitious Andrew Hannah was, he offered to console her. Physically. (he was trying to get her to cheat in case you missed to the subtlety)

What a great friend Andrew Hannah is. I thank you, lord for blessing me with a friend that would be soo kind. My Fiance and me had some problems, but we were able to talk things through and piece together what he was trying to do. The blessing in disguise was two fold, first and foremost is it made me realize how important she is to me. It also helped me out of my depression because I felt like there is no time for depression when you have someone you love and they are almost stolen from you. And finally it made me realize that I was just another pawn in Andrew Hannah s egotistical shallow and ultimately sad little game.

So please keep in mind that this is solely a work of fiction, the real Andrew Hannah would never stoop so low , would he? For those who know him I am sure you will tell me that I am completely wrong and he is a paragon of honor and trust.
