I'm a guy and I had my ex girlfriend abandon me all of a sudden a while ago. I have three really close friends who are a women - two married, one engaged, met them at work but have been close friends for nearly 5 years. Totally platonic on both sides. All 3 of them, as soon as they heard, were like "I dind't like her anyway, you can do better, she was kind of awful but I didn't want to hurt your feelings by saying that when you were dating" (with varying severity). Everyone involved is early-mid 30s.
...Are they just humoring me? I half want to say thanks, and half want to say "wish you had told me that way earlier"
