What do you need to get off your chest?

A friend of mine who I consider my brother moved out of state less than a month ago. He did it after losing his dream job, saying he needed to get away. Even though it would cost him the rest of the money he had to move out of state, he went and did it anyways.

This descion was bizarre and out of character for him being a very rational person. Yet ever since he and his girlfriend really got serious, he's been making all these changes to himself and life choices of someone completely irrational.

He says he is trying to be a better boyfriend, but it's getting to the point where she is guiding the relationship. I can't even fucking talk to him on the phone without her interjecting and joining in on the conversation. I didn't even get a chance to say a proper goodbye because she was standing there the whole damn time.

She's everything I can't stand; clingy, over opinionated, dramatic, constant panic attacks, self-conscious, lazy, and just strange.

He's my only real friend I have, but now that they are living together, that's slowly disappearing. Hell, even when he went to study abroad for 6 months in Korea our friendship never suffered.

And it's affecting me more than I like to admit. It's putting me on edge, adding to my cynicism, putting an edge to my sarcasm, getting angrier and angrier. But at the same time, it makes me feel lonely.

But if I say anything now with him all those miles away, with her there around him all the time (since they're both still unemployed), she'll be there to drive the wedge.

So fuck him for acting like a child, running away from his problems, turning away those he calls family.
