not much i can add to the response you have gotten. but i'll try.

wellllll.....looks like you fit in just fine. we don't worry about spelling or formatting. boy howdy..i mess up the multi quotes all the time. don't even bother with it most times. just make new posts.

givers and takers. som eof us are always in one role. some flip flop.

but if your friend is always on the taker side ( doesn't mean a bad thing ) then he may not know how to be a giver. could be that he has always had someone step into his life to give him what he needs emotionaly.

your friendship can keep growing. you just may have to find your emotional suport from others. like your friends here. that is OK.

don't be afraid to let it out. i know a certain someone who i keep a tight hold of the end of her rope. she reaches out. it's hard for her...but my heart sings when i get her pm's. cuz she knows in her heart how much i care and love her.

it may take a little time hope, but that certain person will be there for you too. or heck...we ALL will.
