#40 He Won’t Be A Third Wheel

Back in college, my now significant other of 4 years would walk me home from class at night. I finally mustered up the courage to ask him to “come upstairs and have some wine with me”. Hard no. Ok, he’s not into it.
Two months later, he invites me and my friends to a party. He’s blackout drunk when we show up, and tells my friend that he’s in love with me and got wasted because he was nervous about seeing me. She convinces him to tell me, knowing that I was also into him.
Curveball: Told me that he was really into me, but didn’t want to mess up my relationship. Uhrm.. what relationship? Ya know, that guy from our class that you always talk to and giggle with. Uh… Matt? As in Matt with the boyfriend, Matt? …Oh, well that strangely explains a lot.
