My ex wife is more supportive than my "best friend"

My ex has been talking to me every day since she found out how bad a place I'm in. She did something she felt was right and I was absolutely terrible to her yesterday. Still woke up to a text from her saying she was home all day if I need her. My "bff" argued with me, claimed my depression was because she was spending time with someone else and hasn't bothered to check up on me. BFF is an incredible woman don't get me wrong just maybe was leaning on her too much

Seems you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Ur ex is supportive of you and on the other side ur BFF is against it thinking your depression was caused by it. Can I ask an honest question, feel free if u don't want to answer. Are you depressed bcz u are still in love with ur ex and does it really bother u that she has moved on? I'm sorry to ask such questions, it just that unless we are honest about these things, we can't really support each other appropriately.

Sorry for the confusion, it's my BFF that think it's about her cause she's looking for someone. That is not the cause of this episode. This stems from my fear of being alone

Oh now I get it. Yah, that must be hard heh? Loneliness is another demon no one wants to deal with. Do you fear that when she finds someone, she will leave you? Have you spoken to her about your concern? Maybe she will still be your friend. She might not leave you.

She has told me she is intentionally stepping away from me as she looks for someone. Not helping the situation. This episode is also caused problems between us because she believes it due to her.

Yoh this is a hard case. Seems you will have to find new friends, never easy at all. Hope it works out for you though
