hey gang, well im in a bit of a tricky situation and dont really know what to do so i thought i'd put it out there

basically im having major problems with a girl i was in an open relationship with - to the extent where currently she wants nothing to do w me and i cant understand it

me and this girl have been friends for 8 ish years, and i always joked with her that she may be gay etc etc. then about whilst i was away at uni about 3 years ago she started to date a girl which lasted for about 1 1/2 years. which is all cool. the only problem with that relationship is elena kept it hidden from everyone pretty much and i only found out by accident when i happened to meet her gf (without elena being there) and put two and two together.

anywhos skip forward to this year. this summer we got really close and saw eachother at least five evenings a week, she would even text me at 11pm and we'd go out and see the cows in the fields (we lived in a rural area at the time, so not much else to do) and generally have a good time. we slowly got closer and finally got it together in sept. in sept and oct things were all great, i stayed at hers, she stayed at mine etc etc and we had a fab time altho it was clear from both of us that it was more of a sex thing then an actual relationship which was cool w me.

anywhos i live in london and she does not, but the past 3 weeks she's been staying in london w a friend. this was planned ages ago, and in october she was like 'sure you can come stay w me at my friends etc' but it never happened. everytime i asked to go round for breakfast/dinner/whatever she was always too busy

and so i asked her yesterday if i could see her over xmas to give her her xmas present and she simply said 'no' in a text message back. so i got upset and angry and sent her a long email saying how i thought she'd messed me around as we'd barely seen eachother since end of october (and even that was weird) and if she didnt want to see me why did she have to lead me on etc

so skip forward to today and basically i got a message saying literally 'please do not contact me unless you're dying'

and this is from someone who ive been really good friends w since school, and thought i was getting along well

the only 'bad' point about our open relationship from my point of view is that it caused tention w my housemate as elena was not out and he thinks all gay people should be out. esp. as when we were with elena's friends we basically had to pretend that we were just friends, which didnt bother me as i think coming out should be done in someones own time

the last time i was out w elena and her friends was bonfire night and it was a bit awkward, things like thinking twice before hugging/kissing her etc incase her friends saw

now the only thing that i can think of as to why she is being so off is that she feels our 'relationship' might have blown her straight girl cover.

im really at a loss. any advice would be much appreciated, and sorry about the essay :xmas_10:

Crikey Mary, thats a tough one :dia_hmmm:
She might be pissed her cover is blown and really scared to be outed or she might have found someone else. But the only one who know the answer is her. And I have no idea how you can get her to tell you, sorry Im no help. :xmas_20::woh_nah:

thanks for the thoughts

in reality i dont give a monkeys if we never slept together again, i just dont want to loose her as a friend, and i dont know what to do esp. as she said not to contact her
i was thinking that she might be w someone else, as in oct time a friend of her ex-gf became friends w her, and they've got quite pally over the last few months for sure, to the extent that i know elena invited her on holiday, but when me n elena were still getting on well she said she'd never date her, firstly because she 'only dates men' and secondly she wasnt attracted to her. so then again, maybe its just paranoia :confused:

i was thinking of letting her be for a while, and just sending her a christmas email. at christmas we'll literally be 10 minutes from eachother as we'll both be at our parents homes in the same village, which will make it even more sad if we dont see eachother. but i was gonna wish her merry christmas and see if i could strike up a conversation then...

["but when me n elena were still getting on well she said she'd never date her, firstly because she 'only dates men' and secondly she wasnt attracted to her. "]

She was scared of coming out and her feelings to say this.

And I think this is a good idea ;)

Hope all goes well :)

well she's always maintained that she is not gay, and only accidentally fell into a relationship with lucy (her ex-gf), but i've never known her to date a guy :confused:
she comes from a russian orthodox family and has said that her parents would be destroyed if they found out she ever dated a girl
i just hope her being p*ssed at me is only temporary so we can get bk to normal :confused::xmas_10:
