Sigh...

Sorry to make my first real post a negative one... I need to vent to whomever feels like reading what I have to say.

I need something good to happen in my life right now. 2010 has not been a kind year so far.

Things seemed to be getting a little bit better until May 11th. I notice my chinchilla, Kirby, wasn't acting quite right. The next day I took him to the vet who thought it was because of his teeth. He didn't seem any better on Friday so I took him to the vet again. She sedated him and filed his molars. Sunday, Kirby still wasn't better so I was going to take him into the vet again on Monday. I woke up Monday morning and found that Kirby had passed away.

RIP Kirby May 17, 2010.

Wednesday and Thursday I had to go to Casper for work where I learned that I wasn't going to get any new responsibilities regarding the clinic we run (my co-worker was leaving).

Thursday I got back to Laramie to have my best friend tell me that he was marrying a girl he hadn't even known for two weeks. TWO WEEKS!! And they're getting married at the end of June 2010. In case you're not paying attention, that's a MONTH AND A HALF AFTER THEY MET! Now he doesn't understand why I can't be happy for him right now. I had told him the first time I met this girl that he should take things slow and what does he do... PROPOSES WITHIN A WEEK OF MEETING HER!!! He knew that I won't be happy about what he'd done. However, he still decides to tell me he was going to marry this girl the same week that my beloved pet dies unexpectedly and when I find out I'm not getting any responsibilities that I should have gotten. Then he can't understand why I can't be happy for him...

My "friend" now thinks that I am some sort of horrible person who doesn't want him to be happy. I heard him tell a mutual friend that I am only happy if he is unhappy since it means that my life is better than his. That's a load of crap. I have seen him in relationships and I've seen what happens when the relationships end. I told him that he shouldn't rush into a relationship with this new girl because he will end up getting hurt if he gets involved too quickly and things don't work out and I don't want to see that happen again.

I haven't spoken to my "friend" since that Thursday, two and half weeks ago. I don't want to be the one to give in. I don't want to break the silence and make him think that I accept and am happy about what he is doing.

Am I wrong? Should I be the one to break the silence?
