Well, crap-o

As of this morning, Roomie 4 and the character formerly known as 5 are officially broken up.  In 4's own words, I "lost a brother" in this.  Meaning yes, I am expected to stop talking to him now that they are not a thing.  Which is fair, I suppose.  I think that if I were in her position I would have the same expectation of whoever was in my position.  But the fact is, I opened up to him in ways that only close friends do.  I've told him things that 4 doesn't know about me.  Things my biological sister probably doesn't even know.  Things it took me months or years to tell my best friends.  I'd really like for this friendship to have lasted more than 3 months, but without hurting 4, I don't think there's much I can do about it.  At least not for now.
