I hate that lately I've been facing more and more the fact that my best friend is a compulsive liar who manipulates people around him to do things for him, and that the friends I've neglected for so long to only associate with when they happened to be in the room with him treat me better than he does.
And that I still love him enough to not be able to avoid feeling like I'm betraying him when we are all sitting around the house while he isn't there, airing our issues with him, and then he comes home and notices people giving him the cold shoulder and gets confused and turns to me to ask what's wrong with everyone, and I shrug evasively and pretend I don't know.
I have always, always hated being put into the middle of drama between people, and I am right in the middle of it right now, especially as it boils down basically to Mark vs. Robbie, and I love Mark very much as my friend and at the same time am strongly attracted to Robbie.
Rock, meet hard place.
