So this is more looking for outside opinions than anything. My ex and I had started talking again until she two breakdowns in two weeks. Which I became one of her primary targets and the so called cause of all her problems. Anyways between the two breakdowns I had decided that I was going to bring a female friend down to stay with me. The friend was looking for a fresh start in a new place so I offered to help her out. Well my ex and I had decided that our communication needed to get better. I personally vowed to open and honest about anything and everything. So I told my ex about offering to help out my friend. She of course didn't agree with my decision and let it go until the next day. Well I start making my way on the ten and a half hour drive to pick up my friend when my ex gets ahold of me to see what I'm doing. I tell her where I'm.headed and she instantly becomes upset. Before she got upset I had asked if I could stop by and see her before I went and picked up my friend. She immediately starts accusing me of just wanting to move this girl down with me to be in a relationship with her. I explain to her that that's not what my intentions are...only to give a friend the same chance I was given...a chance to start over where no one knows you. She kept throwing the relationship thing in my face saying I couldn't come by because she didn't want anything to with me and my pet. This made up misconception all stemmed from her reading to far in between the lines of my texts about my wanting to help this girl out. Anyways it took me almost two days to convince her that all that this chick and I were is friends. So things start going back to normal or as normal as it gets between us. I know she's maxed out emotionally, physically and spiritually due those two breakdowns. I tell her she needs to find a partner to help her get the full and proper release that she needs. This is where it gets weird at least IMO. We had agreed that there was too many emotional ties to our sex life to continue it...at least for one of us anyways. After telling her she needed to find someone to get that much needed release... she asked me if I wanted to be the one to help her in that release. Which of course I was fully on board with. So we're doing the whole erotic conversation and pic trading and then she just goes silent. So I finally hear from her a few days later talking about she needs time to focus and work on herself so I say ok...just don't shut me totally out like you always do. Probably a little over week goes by this time with nothing but silence again. I can't what I said exactly that finally got her to respond. Her response was something I didn't expect to hear at all. She tells me she's in a relationship but she'll still be an ear if I need a friend. I'm totally blown away because just about two weeks or so ago I'm listening to her say she's not looking for a relationship and has no plans to do so anytime soon. I know this ran a little longer than I expected it too but could anyone make sense of this bs fiasco for me because I sure AF can't figure out what the hell happened. The main image is one of the pics I got before I was blindsided.
