She got tired of hearing you talk nonsense about sex. She continued the hj to defuse you so she didn't have to disappoint you or have sex with you. It was the easiest way to get you out of the door. Mr. Alpha left the building.

Try to think of it as a good conversation. You two both just found out your best friend is sexually attracted attracted to you. Happy days! Talk like you normally do, but finish it with sex. What's not to like?!

You can't be friends with her, please realize that. You will ALWAYS want to be with her and that is not what friendship is about. Give up that thought. Just tell her, make the big bang happen either way and you can move on with your life.

So shoot your shot, it's the last one you get.

Shit. I can't fathom how she ended up living with her parents and not you. I would think if she gets a diagnose you would be in a good position legally, even the breakdown should weigh in.

Stay strong, my advice for the girl remains the same.

As a child of a mother with severe mental problems and a father who stayed with her:

Take your daughter and run. Keep her safe, give her a good life with you.
