i have this friend. a very good friend. a friend i thought i would do anything for and he would do anything for me.

here's the situation. my friend moved halfway accross the country to live with his girlfriend. he left his family, his job and all of his friends to persue a relationship with her. being the sap that i am, i think its the greatest thing ever. and incredibly romantic.

moving on...its been 2 years since his big move and a few weeks ago his girlfriend decided that their relationship was over. so there he is, in a town where he has hardly any friends and not one form of support. turns out his ex has been talking to someone else. this other guy? he lives near me. last weekend she came out here to see him and brings him to my house. now, here's the thing. i am friends with her but mostly because she was my friends girlfriend. she didn't ask if she could bring this guy, she just shows up with him; leaving me in a very uncomfortable situation. do i tell my friend what happened? of course, because i know he would do the same for me.

here's where it gets sticky. i tell him what had happened the night before in confidence; knowing his ex will probably not tell him who she was with during her visit out here. say what you will, but i felt he had the right to know.

now, my friend and i share a mutual friend. a friend who knows this "ex-couple" as well. a friend whom i have dated in the past and someone i do not trust. at all. why? because he proves to me time and time again that he cannot be trusted and is known to have a big mouth. what does my friend do? he tells the whole story word for word as it came out of my mouth the night before.

this mutual friend calls me last night and informs me that my friend has used my name to relay the situation. how does this make me feel? like shit. seriously, i feel so let down. i know it may sound immature but i really have no desire to talk to this friend ever again.
