I just sent a good friend of mine a text. She didn't respond, but her new boyfriend did stating that she was bogged down in school work, didn't want to get sidetracked on her phone, so she asked him to hold it. I know she's addicted to her Iphone, so her doing that didn't surprise me. What did however, was that her new boyfriend basically told me to stop texting her because she's busy. But the tone of the message gave the impression that he meant stop texting her period rather than wait till tomorrow because she's busy tonight. So, I went on to Facebook to shoot her a message. Stupid me, I realized. She has the Facebook app on her phone and the boyfriend had the phone. Once he saw my message, he blocked me. While I could email her, I feel that doing so now is a crapshoot. I honestly feel at this point, her getting my email is a fifty fifty shot. I don't know who has the phone, him or her. I feel that if he has it, then she won't see the email because he would prevent her form doing so. This quickly went from wanting to ask her a quick question to me being concerned with the guy she's seeing. A new feeling with regards to her, since she usually has a good judge of character. For the record, the relationship between me and her has been 100 per cent platonic over the years and she feels more like a sister to me.
There are two things that are bothering me. First off, this guys is new to the picture. As such, who the hell is he to prevent me from talking to someone that's been a good friend of mine since what seems like forever? And, I am a little concerned because I feel that this kind of behaving says more about her boyfriend (in a negative context) than it does her or me. Why should his shortcomings get in the way of me and my friend. How should I deal with this situation?
