I don't like to meddle. I am a firm believer that whatever happened between two people is exactly that. I can't possibly know more than them, and I can't judge what I don't know.

Except at times like this. I don't like having a friend calling me in tears telling me her fiance just broke up with her. Even I felt cheated. He just proposed 2 weeks ago. He, unfortunately, is also my friend, and we all joked about me wearing a dress to the wedding in front of their parents. He confessed to her he doesn't feel the same anymore. And yes, he's been seeing someone else.

I thought about the time when they started dating 4 years ago. He called to ask me if I will be alright with him asking her out. I laughed and said he didn't need my permission. I appreciate the gesture though. As long as he was serious, I said, she just survived a divorce. He said he was, it was time to settle down.

If I were just her friend, there will be nothing else to say other than he's an asshole. I'll be infuriated. But now I'm just confused. It is possible that he is a good friend but a terrible boyfriend, or, I don't know him that well.

But assuming that I do know something about him, and I am not completely delusional... I can be wrong, I can be very wrong, but I have a terrible feeling that he is making a huge mistake because he is freaked out. I have this urge to get him out and asked if he knows what he is doing - if he is then it is a good thing he is breaking it off now, she is too good for him. I feel obligated to tell him that he will regret this.

I'm not sure how I feel about all these. I want to hear his side of the story although I don't think that will change the fact that he has been an absolute jerk. If I don't say anything it would implied I am alright with it, which I am not. I am slightly conflicted. Sometimes a change of heart is a change of heart. I don't know.
