Er, no one claimed that this buddy was found on MySpace.
And it seems that people are trivializing the issue.
They were close friends. Now because sex has been taken out of the picture, the other friend has visibly downgraded the importance of their friendship, something that StarFish was obviously not expecting.
Prior to the advent of the Internet and MySpace, the other friend would probably try to act like nothing was wrong, but StarFish would sense something was wrong anyway. Since MySpace made such passive aggressiveness a visible and active thing, StarFish actually SEES that something is wrong.
StarFish, since you are friends outside of MySpace, you should talk as friends. Tell him that his friendship is important to you, and talk it out. Tell him how it felt to be downgraded on MySpace. That is, unless you don't feel close enough to talk about such heavy things as the friendship itself. It sounds like you can, but I could have misinterpreted it.
