Best Friend Used Me for Sex Then Called It Nothing Special
The Original Post
A lot of people asked for an update, and I didn’t think there would be one for a few more days. But here it is – the final outcome.
Mike messaged me. He sent a text like usual, completely ignoring the ghosting and everything that had happened between us. I replied normally, and we talked a bit about nothing in particular. I was at work at the time, so I waited until I got home to ask him directly what was going on.
When I got home, I sent him a message saying I felt like he had been avoiding me. He replied that he wasn’t avoiding me, that he was just busy playing games and forgot to talk to me. He also said he didnt think the vibe between us was weird or different.
I then asked him what our week together had meant to him. He said it was just a couple of friends having fun and nothing more. He doesn’t want anything romantic with me.
So yeah, this isn’t the happiest update, but it’s definitely the most realistc one.
Thank you to everyone who left comments on my previous post. He wasn’t cheating with me like many of you suggested, and he wasn’t confused and sorting out his feelings either.
We’re still friends, and I meant what I said before: I’m just glad he didn’t disappear completely. He’s still my friend and I respect his decision.

What Reddit Said
Reddit users were overwhelmingly sympathetic to OP’s situation. Most commenters expressed concern that the friendship would never recover from this betrayal. However, many were frustrated by how casually Mike dismissed their intimate week together.
The top comment captured the general sentiment perfectly. Users couldn’t understand how someone could engage in romantic activities like movie dates, cuddling, and multiple sexual encounters, then claim it meant nothing. Moreover, Redditors criticized Mike for not clarifying his intentions beforehand.
The Verdict
The consensus was clear: Mike’s behavior was inexcusable manipulation. This represents a textbook case where a best friend used someone for sex without regard for their feelings. Reddit agreed this type of relationship drama rarely ends with the friendship intact, despite OP’s optimistic hopes.
