" I ended up hurting a good friend of mine, all for telling the truth and being honest. I didn't meant to hurt her at all, but it was something I really had to say. I broke up with Jean today, Diary. It was a hard one, but I felt like it was the only time I could tell her what was on my mind.
" Her and I have been friends for years, online and offline. We had mixed feelings about each other and flirted with each other back and forth nonstop. She loved me and I loved her. The only thing is that I didn't really love her as much as she loved me. There was just something about her that made me feel unease. She is beautiful and charming, but she lacks social skills and is a very secretive person. She keeps to herself a lot and only comes out whenever I try to "break her wall of security". I am open and I speak my mind whenever I felt something is wrong. She really doesn't. Its like a "one way street" of communication. Recently, she wanted to take a vacation with me. She paid for the plane ticket and we both took that week off from work, but the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.
" After years of flirtations and a small amount of sexual activities, I just had to put my foot down and tell her how I felt about her. I had to tell her that we couldn't be close anymore. It wasn't a good friendship if she wasn't open and I was. I need someone that I can talk to and will also tell me what is on his or her mind instead of hiding it away or saying nothing at all.
" She didn't take it too well at all. She got upset and shut me out after I pleaded with her to talk to me She told me like I was like her ex's and how I used her. I tried to tell her that is not true, but she didn't listen to me. I told her that I would not hesitate to pay her back for the ticket, but she continued to yell at me and brush me off. She kicked me out of her house and I couldn't get a hold of her on the phone or online. Now I am writing to you, feeling very sad and worried that she might do something to herself. I am now worried about her.
" I know I waited until the last minute to tell her, but I had to be honest and truthful to her. That is who I am. I feel her pain now because I have been in her situation before with breakups, so I know what she is going through. It is just hard for me not to worry about her now after the information I told her.
" Did I do the right thing? Was it best for me to tell her now before we went on that week-long trip? Did I say everything I needed to? Do you think it was the right decision to be cautious and tell her that I felt uncomfortable? I did it to protect her and myself, not just for me. What is a relationship when you try to communicate with someone who is not as open as you? I hope you answer me in my dreams. "

Commenting on the art here, since that's what strikes me the most in this case. While I do understand the story part. Anyway, question for ya. Have you ever considered what a furry's couch would look like? For their tails and such? It wouldn't be a completely solid back, like the one in this picture. It couldn't be. That wouldn't really be comfortable. So then how would they design it so that the tails had a freeformed place to rest, and so things wouldn't completely fall apart? Like, the cushions falling off, or being uncomfortable from having a lot of those button things hehe...
truth hurts indeed sometimes yes ;_;
complicated thing , I had been in the same situation too.
Beeing with someone that doesnt really fully opened up to me while I was always trustfull and speaked out everything. Looking back I would say to talk about it and find a way would had been better but than if it
not had worked to split had been an good choice too.
I see how great it works with people that are open to me and I to them so its really an essential point when it comes to relations, friends or lovers related.

Wait...what?
(rewind)
I had to tell her that we couldn't be close anymore.
(fast forward)
She got upset and shut me out after I pleaded with her to talk to me
Now assuming these two events took place in the order they were quoted, did you really expect any other reaction from her?

I know how that is.... maybe on both side.... I'm not always very talkative around everyone except the people I trust, and people get hurt sometimes because I'm soo quiet. Its just that I have nothing to say.
But when in a love-relationship with someone, and they keep things hidden... that hurts. You know all about the certain someone who is cold to me.

No, he didn't do the right thing at all. It's her problem, yes, but he created the situation by waiting so long before saying anything, and making it a bomb to drop instead. I've gone through this problem with my BF, and it's honestly just a simple matter of talking through things slowly and supportively, instead of making sudden accusations.
Right and wrong are only a matter of opinion. You very well may have done the right thing, and even if you didn't would you worry over it like you have if it had ended well, I don't imagine so. It's plain to see that she felt that what you did was wrong; at least for the time being. However in the end you have only yourself to answer for and to answer to. So by rights of being at peace with your own life you had to end it. If the ONLY reason you doubt your choice to tell her is because of how she reacted then you made the right choice for you and, again in the end that's all you can do. I hope that my thoughts on the matter do help you. And good luck to you in the future.
I can't really say who is in the wrong, because I am just like our friend, I am one to be closed shut out from others, but as some comments have stated it would have been better to talk things out slowly, but if she really does love you hun, she'll come back sooner or later and maybe just maybe open up abit more, so I just have to say dont worry to much and hope for the best for her -nods and gives a gente hug-
