When your friends hook up.

One of my friends has been in an on/off relationship for quite a while but they've finally called it quits. For good this time. I think.

Anyway since splitting up he has got with one of my housemates. As much as I'd like to say it hasn't, it has kind of bothered me.

I have felt pangs of jealousy. I spoke to my housemate about it tonight because I feel there's no point stewing, and it's not like I was crying in my room every night.

I said I felt weird that they had some sort of bond that I didn't have. An intimacy that I didn't have even though him and I were supposedly better friends.

My housemate explained that sex is just sex and friendships are way more valuable. I agree 100% but I still felt a little weird about it.

Maybe, and I'm only figuring this out as I write it down, maybe it's about two of my friends having fun without me. I feel left out. Even though I don't want to be part of it.

It's a new situation and a new lesson to learn.
