Learned today that Morgan asked Danny if he would consider leaving me. Me being the person I am, what disturbed me most about this was the simple fact that Danny's just now telling me even though I asked him last week if he'd told me everything since I know his tendency for leaving things out. I'm a little weirded out that Morgan would ask it,

I really applause your calmness and logic in this situation! Seriously, dude, it's really amazing, and Danny should appreciate it. I'm not a jealous person what-so-ever (being long-distance for four years definitely helped rid any kind of jealousy I had haha), but if Pete had been in this situation with a female friend of ours, she would have been booted out of the picture. I know that sounds a little harsh, but, in the few experiences I've had with remotely similar situations, her feelings won't change as long as she is still interacting with Danny, and I find it hard to believe that she is going to stop asking those questions and putting Danny in those weird situations. It seems that her asking if he is going to leave you is basically asking if she has a chance with him, and if she really knew you guys as a couple, she would already know that answer. And, in a way, I find that a little disrespectful, maybe? I don't know. And blaming her ruptured ovarian cyst on him is FUCKED. If you care about someone, you don't make them feel

Thanks! It's funny, I don't have many girl friends--she was one of the very few--so it's nice to get some feedback on this from someone who isn't, well, my boyfriend haha.

At the moment, we're keeping our distance from Morgan. If for no other reason than that she clearly needs the distance if she thinks we are (or if we actually are) causing her stress-related illness. And Danny tells me he doesn't believe men and women can just be friends (at least not if they're close friends), so he thinks it's best if he backs off entirely. I'm fine with that. At first I didn't want them breaking off a good friendship if they didn't have to, but now it seems clear she's really hung up on him, so maybe it's for the best.

It's weird... I'm aware that your typical girlfriend would be extremely pissed off by all of this, but that never hit me. And staying calm throughout has been really nice, to be honest. It makes everything so much easier.
