Search Results: hurt by best friend

I have a friend who I have never met, we are not romantically connected in anyway and never have been. We have been text friends for around 10 years and live about 160 miles away from each other.

I have tried to meet up before, as friends, but he has never put any effort into it at all even cancelling the meet I had arranged after 5 years of friendship and never rearranging. We text almost everyday and he said he classes me as one of his best friends. I have always been there for him through weird relationships he gets himself into (so I am not jealous) and other incidents, I have always been there when he needed me.

He told me today that he has been trying to meet a women he met online as they have been talking for around 6 months. I felt hurt by this, in all the years we have been friends he has never put effort into meeting me but when I tell him how I feel he starts getting annoyed and saying I have no right to feel hurt about it.

I just want to know if I was over reacting or if he is in the right?

I just witnessed this:

Two guys are friends. They're in the same circles. Not best friends, but close. New girl enters.

All three people are above average in looks though their morality and sexually-driven motivations are pretty suspect. They're all sleeping around a lot.

Anyway, Guy #1, the bartender manager goes out with girl first. It doesn't last long. But they're really into each other. Coworkers talk. He's been sleeping with the staff. He's evasive and non-commital. He's ghosted, jumped around. Some girls warn the girl about him (although some of their motivation is jealousy, as well.) But she's an independent girl, and she doesn't like being told what to do. And, she thinks she is/wants to be special. She goes out with him anyway. They hit it off. Apparently more than with the others. After a short time he asks her, "You wanna be exclusive?" much to her surprise. She is happy. "Yes."

But before things really get going, another third party [helps her out?] by showing her a pic of him with another girl. On a date in a lunch place. She gets pissed. "I thought we were exclusive. You're already sneaking around on me?" "No, that was before. Before we decided. It's over now." But she doesn't believe him, breaks up. Then quickly changes her mind, asks to get back together. He: "No, I don't like the drama." He's also apparently upset about her not trusting him, and listening to outside influences.

Shortly after, she gets asked out by Guy #2, personal trainer. They also hit it off. She likes him "Even more. He's a man, not a boy." Trainer asks bartender friend, "Hey man, you ok with this... if I date her now?" He doesn't say much. He doesn't want it to happen but feels he can't intervene. Time goes by, and now and now guess who comes back? Bartender: "I just want to let you know that I care about you. I want you back." Huh? "I was scared." Of what? "Of falling in love, getting hurt."
