My straight friend wrote to me

[ruanyingxiong]

I have been in love with this handsome man for more than ten years until the day I confessed to him 18 months ago. He has been accepting me and sometimes quite entertaining about it. However, my frustration to him has increased more and more and I could not stop. We went to the Gym together and I saw him naked too. He is OK with that but he always state strongly that he will never let any guy touch his manhood. Well, I want to have him so bad. I wrote the email to express how much I want to be with him sexually or I have to end the friendship for my own good. He sent back me this email and called me several times to check what is going on with me. In my email, I said long ago, I wanted to commit suicide because of the hopelessness.

Here is his email. I feel so deep to him. What should I do with this man.

Davidster,
STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF! Yes...Iam silly sometimes, but giving up life is not the answer to your problems! Dave...our friendship is a nonsexual way with me it is the only way for me! Dave you ever heard about the story that there was 2 friends? They were friends for a long time until they had sex! The sex destroyed their friendship because they entered into a new level in life. After they had some sort of sex they did not speak the same way and their friendship deminished. A true story in life! Everything changes when one person wants something that the other person does not want. Iam telling you this because I wish you can move on with your life. The story was a very close friend of mine...maybe my best friend. The story was not me, but he said it did happen! Dave...I will always love you as a brother in my heart. Brothers don't sleep with each other...unless you live in the south. Just joking! Please just be a good friend with me and if you need help I will help you. Call me later when you need to talk!
All the best,
H.

He basically gave you the friendship card and fairly stated that there will never be more. It sounds like you should just give up on it.

[Txgoodoldboy]

Yes, sex changes things. He told you how he feels, you should respect that. If you can't handle that, then stop seeing him. If you feel like you will kill yourself, you need to get help. This guy is willing to go the extra mile for the friendship. It doesn't get any better than that.

[ruanyingxiong]

No, long time ago. We are in a very good term of friendship. When he was OK for me to see him naked, I knew that the furthest place I could go. I am very happy with him now. Once I told him that we could do threesome with a girl. He said its OK to do that. However, we have not experienced this.

Once I asked him can I touch his cock for five seconds to get over the feeling. I was so obsessed that time. He said only five seconds that he has to close his eyes and will not see me again. Well, he then joked he will not see me again for five months. I did not go for that because I respected him. But I always joked that he still owes me for that.

Yes, I want to be friend with him but sometimes it is hard. I hope I can handle this kind of friendship.

I am OK and sometimes feel fortunately to have this guy. I wonder that the way he cares so much about me when I am sad. Does he have some "gay" gene. BTW, he is very masculine and fucks women like a stallion. I am not so jealous but I am worry sometimes with his lifestyle and the women he met.

[thephoenix]

I mean this in the most sensitive way. Get over yourself!

Dude, this guy is still willing to be your friend even after you ask to touch him in an inappropriate manner. Focus on the friendship. If you truly cared about him you would respect that he cares about you only in a brotherly manner and move on. You wouldn't try to manipulate him by threatening suicide or ending the friendship because you weren't getting what you wanted. You see, he does actually care about you because he took the time to check on you and to spare your feelings and all you can do is wonder about some latent homosexuality he might harbor. Grow up. Get some therapy.

[sapien]

He sounds like a keeper. A friend for life.

I'm in a similar situation. Sorta. I've been friends with this guy for two years now. I've liked him from the moment we met, and 2 year later the feelings are just as strong. He's gay, too, but unfortunately for me he doesn't return my feelings. However, I want to stay friends with him (even though it sometimes kills me to see him with others) because he's an asset to my life. Just talking to him and being with him makes me happy and puts me in a good mood. There have been times when I've tried walking away, but I end up feeling dead inside. We have a saying in Spanish:

"Ni contigo ni sin ti tienen mis males remedios: contigo porque me matas; sin ti porque me muero."

TRANSLATION:
"Neither with you nor without you can my ills be remedied: with you because you kill me; without you because I die."

I know that he is straight like an arrow. I am in love with him the way he is. I am start understanding how the straight feels. Being with him I also know so many women. He has told me that he know the differences between how a woman loves him and how a gay loves him. I know he is not gay. But he always joke with me that he is a lesbian. Relax!!! No one needs therapy here.

If he is gay, I don't see why you cannot be with him. My guy is straight like an arrow by nature. It is most difficult part to overcome. I wish you the best. I know with your love, patience, and compassion, he will return your love.

For some reason, I believe my straight friend loves me (not sexually), but he cares, he talks to me. I could not want more than that when I read his email. But I still wonder why can he be gay for one night in his life. I know, it might never happen.

[Telstra]

his email said very clearly,
he is your friend with NO sex.

[Caaake]

That was a really nice email, he didn't shut you out, he let you know he's there for you. What a friend that when you spill your heart to him, he's there with open arms still to help you out. This is great. I'm sure you'll find someone who will feel the same way about you.

[mattad]

You are going to destroy this friendship. He is not going to cave in and give you what you want. Back off, tell him you are sorry, and go out and fixate on something more realistic before you loose him completely.

[ruanyingxiong]

I did call him and say sorry. He is OK and we are talking again like nothing happens. Well, he then asked me how one day I am straight and one day I am so gay. I asked him why can't he be gay for one day to make my life easier. He seems a very understanding person and I start realizing about the straight people.

[Gomaki]

Wow, you should be so lucky that he is so understanding. You have a good friend, but if he thinks a sexual thing would ruin that, you should respect it. Just enjoy his friendship!

[Master Bates]

I don't really have anything to add. I agree with what most here have typed. You are VERY lucky this guy is so understanding. He obviously values your friendship and loves you. But in a strictly Platonic way. You can't help how you feel, but you can not change the way he feels. If you continue to put pressure on him, you will eventually tear your friendship apart. If you truly value your friendship, you will learn to accept your relationship for what it is.

[ruanyingxiong]

I called him this morning and we talked about family and politic... Yes, he is a strong republican supporter. Anyway, we were teasing each other but I knew where to stop because when he started talking about girls and the bars , it turned me on again.

I wonder if this is called love. He said he loves me always (like a brother). I think he still believes that he can convert me to a straight guy. Sometimes, in a middle of the conversation, he said I sound like a straight now. I told him never than I correct myself again. I am so confused of being odd on the subject. However, he has brought so much knowledge and culture into me.

He is a Latino, very friendly and romantic even in friendship. I wonder if many Latino men have this kind of character.

[Brandus]

You are being selfish by wanting to have sex with him because it is clearly not what he wants. Imagine if you were best friends with a girl who one day said the friendship is over unless you have sex with her. Not only is she throwing away a friendship for her own selfish lusts but she is disrespecting you because she knows you are gay.

[GoodbyeSobriety]

Relax!!! No one needs therapy here.

Dude, anyone threatening suicide because he cannot get the man he loves needs therapy.

Honestly, you have got to get over this guy and move on. You need to respect his terms of not wanting to sexually hook up with another guy, and give it up already.

I'm sorry, but this is a pathetic thread. Where are all the men lately?

I did not threat him about suicide at all. I told him long ago I wanted to die because of the hopelessness. I wanted to end the relationship for my own good. I just want to be honest with him. The bottom line is I love him not to harm him or anything. I believe because of my honest and sincerity he sees me as difference from other friends. I think because I am an Asian in love with some thing very imposssible and the way I have conducted myself. He is comfortable with that.

I know the limit but we are best friend as always. I just want him to know his friend's problem. Why it is so difficult for some of you to understand this passion. I don't lie and hide myself with him. Thank God, he is not homophobic. However, he opposes the gay marriage.

[ManticoreX5327]

I know it's hard, but you need to find someone who will love you the way you love him. He will NEVER want you as a boyfriend or a fuck buddy. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll stop feeling crappy about it. He sounds very caring and understanding. Why can't you just treat him like a gay guy you met at a bar who isn't interested? You'd leave a guy who rejected you alone--at least I hope you would. I went to an all guys' high school and was in love with so many of my friends who are straight. It hurt so bad every day, and the only thing that can alleviate that pain is to find love elsewhere. Would you fuck a girlfriend who was so buck ass crazy in love with you? Probably not. Unless you're bi. You're only seeing it from your point of view. Look at it from his and how uncomfortable you make him when you talk to him about something he can't give you. He sounds like a great friend, and I would love to have such a person in my life. Be thankful for what you have and get your sexin' at the bath houses or gym like every other gay man. Get lifelong compassion and friendship from your friend.

[Kulindahr]

Manticore's post says it all well: look at it from his point of view.

[bluedragon4]

This is REALLY messed up. Why you don't think you need therapy is beyond me.

[ruanyingxiong]

This is REALLY messed up. Why you don't think you need therapy is beyond me.

Sincerely, what kind of therapy I need in my situation. I still don't understand.

[bw92116]

I would suggest that you spend some time away from him, just to get over your sexual/romantic feelings for him. The friendship part will survive during that time, in fact true friendship can survive a long time apart. To "get over him" for real you are going to have to isolate yourself from him for a while, meaning no contact whatsoever. I would say for about 1 year. During that time work on your own life and your own goals and needs. Redirect your focus from him to you. And date other guys too, gay men that can and will provide for you what you seek. Sex with straight men is pretty lame anyway. They don't do for you what you do for them. It's about as lame as a gay man having sex with a woman. It just doesn't work. After a year apart, you can restart the friendship with him, and your feelings about it and about him will be completely different. You will see it as just a friendship and appreciate it for that. And by then you will have filled up your love life with other men, gay men who will love you and want you and do it all with you. So you won't be lacking in any department by that time. But it is necessary and important to spend time away from him, with no contact at all, in order to really get over him.

[USEDCAR]

If your that inlove with this guy maybe you should stop being friends with him. Its kinda creepy whats going to happen when he meets someone your going to end up a old lonely miserable man. Go out meet some gay guys and talk to them and make a move on a gay guy. Your pretty much wasting your valuable time on a straight guy while theres millions of gay guys that would love to have your time.

[ruanyingxiong]

Thank you bw92116, I did. I kept myself away from him. I asked him not to call me. Yes, I tried to be away from him for one week and he called me and laughed. He said he was OK if I don't ever see him again. And then he called me again to check what was going on. We were tired with the head game. Then he said no matter what we will be like brothers. I promised that.

I feel like I am a perfectly bisexual case because I am married. We fucked women and he tough me some techniques. I feel like sexual part is to yearn for affection with him. I did experience with men in escort service but I had not done anything serious. Just some touchings and I told him about this.

I told him that I would tell my wife about my sexuality with him but he told me that would be complicated. My wife might disapprove me and never let me see him again.

I am OK gradually, no more crush like couple of months ago. We live far away so I see him for every two months.

I have tried everything to get over him. However, he wants to keep me as his best friend. He called me when I am so down and asked me what can he do to help me. I said I want to touch his cock. (I said it clearly). Then, he said gross, gross... then he said it OK but I disrespect him so deeply when I insist to do that. I have not done it because I respect him. I don't know how to be around him because we are really like brothers. We know each other for 15 years. He has nothing to hide from me even his email passwords. I know them all.

I almost talk to him everyday on the phone and we say I love you very much in the end of the conversation. He always jokes that he loves me but cant do it because I don't have tits and pussy. Its very sad to hear that sometimes.

wait ... interesting.
so you do escort services ?
and you are married to a woman ?

[bw92116]

I still think you need to do the "no contact" thing for a while longer, and cry it out, several times if necessary, so that you don't cry about him any more. Only when that grief period has ended can you get back in touch with him as friends. You have to grieve the death of this romantic/sexual relationship you want to have with him. You can't grieve it properly if he is calling you to see how you are doing every day. When he does that, it just rekindles those feelings and sends you back in the wrong direction. You really have to spend some time with no contact with him - no visits, no calls, no text messages, no email, no letters, no go-between people, nothing - to properly let go of him and grieve for it, until you no longer have those feelings. Only then can you have a bonafide platonic friendship with him. That will take some time and you can't have any contact with him during that time. Explain to him that you have to be apart from him for a year, to get over him, and that you can't have any contact at all, then after that year you can be friends with him again. I see that as the only way you're ever going to resolve this.

[ruanyingxiong]

Yes, I don't have experience with men in my life. I discovered I love him and all gay passion after marriage for awhile. As a typical Asian male, I did not know anything about the American pop culture. He tough me all about this and to be cool with fashion. I become more confident about being in the US because of him. I married my wife 10 years ago. We are a very happy couple. But i was so intense and occupied by his coolness, manliness... I was so angry and frustrated until someone on the web told me to try some guys on the rentmen.com. I picked the man to have the same nationailty and the same name with him. I spent almost two hours just to talk about him. I did touch the guys but I did not have anything more than that. My experiment with other men just like that. I told him about this and he said how silly I am. I will not do it again because I am not into this.

About my wife, because she thought we are very good friend. She always jokes that him is my boy friend when she hands the phone to me. At this point, I don't have any reason to tell her.

About my activity, my wife did suspect that I slept with prostitute in Las Vegas but she never asked me to confirm it. My love life is so complicated and I am surround with many great, compassion, and understanding people.

Some of my lifestyle is not moral but I will tell everything with her. However, he does not love me to the level that I have to reveal everything.

I did exactly the same thing but its so hard for this day. I deleted the cell phone # but I already remembered it. To make thing worst, he gave me all his email passwords so I can check him if I wanted. If I know how to control my heart, I don't have to quit him this way. He is a great person. But I feel better when he conceded to the point that he allows me to see him naked (no touch) in the gym, or bathroom, whatever... Before that he said I have to go over his dead body to see him naked.

Its funny that I told my story to one escort I met in Florida. He told me that he can convince him to be sexual with me because this escort is a straight and I have to pay him for his work. I told my friend that how the escort suggested. He told me don't wait the money. They ended up to talk about sport on my cell phone. Nothing else.

[son1fan]

Dude you dont understand how fucking lucky you are. I'd kill to have a friend like that. Honestly, is it worth loosing a good friend like that for a meaningless fuck?

[petros0]

• Get over yourself!

• You are selfish,

• Dude you don’t understand how fucking lucky you are. I'd kill to have a friend like that

,

• Dude, this guy is still willing to be your friend even after you ask to touch him in an inappropriate manner,

• You are going to destroy this friendship

Seriously guys no one here said something realistic at all except “bw92116”
How you ask him to accept his friendship and put his feeling away, is that something easy can somebody do it at any time he like,
This feeling is LOVE and not SEX, that happened throw 10 years relationship and that mean is true and it hard very hard to get rid of it,
If his straight friend is a real friend and not SELFISH he will try at least for ones to let him touch him even with closed eyes, after that simply he will realize that straight guy is not for him and that love is not going anyway and he will find the way to get rid of this feeling,
Otherwise there is one solution as “bw92116” said stay away but not for a month or two maybe for a year or two until you find the real love ,then you will be strong enough to contact him again and say” HI MATE HOW YOU BEEN,

[syoBsUtsuJ]

In ANY relationship where two people become ONE the END-result is ALWAYS two 1/2 people!!! (even if said phenomena happens with just one person), and we all know that that is unhealthy. The very notion of somebody "needing" another person to complete themselves as a person saddens me to no end.

There is a misnomer about marriage being a 50/50 ratio-relationship. Whenever I enter into a relationship, I don't want just 50% of a person; I want it ALL!! (the full 100%). If I needed another to "complete me," I'd be "damaged goods" and certainly not "worthy" of his affections. We are supposed to do onto others, as we would have them do onto us. Personally, I would never enter into a ANY relationship unless I was ready, willing, and able to get and give it my all AND my intended partner reciprocated in kind.

I don't mean to be harsh by any means, but my empathy is congruent with the majority of people that have already replied here. Surely you do not esteem to be just a "half-person." Recognition and acknowledgment of your situation are the first steps towards recovery, maturity, and growth. I'd recommend that you just concentrate on you and start adopting that Army-mentality of becoming all that you can be ... but that's just me.

I wish you all the best, regardless; good luck, dude.

[Kulindahr]

Ah, passions.

I don't think this is as bad as some people are making it. You come across as just sounding off, venting the frustrations here. I see no sign that you're trying to manipulate him, so this isn't really an obsession.

Time apart is still a good suggestion. Another -- kind of depends on you two guys -- is him getting into helping you pick out cute guys. It -- no, I won;t say the reasons, but it could be a very good idea.

Hang in there, and good luck.

[innocentbychoice]

I think you should stop seeing him. If you really want to get over him, it's not good at all to see him and talk to him 24/7. Go away, find other people to go out with.

PS: He offered to touch his pee-pee and you refused? I would have said yes!!! Because, even if it turned out terrible and we would stop beiong friends, at least things would have moved and changed instead of being in love with this person with whom I can't be for the rest of my life.

This is my update. I want to share with you guys my experience and let you know love can happen between the straight and gay. At least, I think it happen right now.

I was to visit him for last week. There were up and down about my reaction and his behavior. When I was with him it was all sexual tension that I could not control. He let me rub his back for awhile but he made sure that he was not on with this. We talked all night about everything. When a sexual topic emerged, he managed to keep me quite it. I was so frustrated about this all the time.

I could not take it anymore and suggested him that I want to sleep with him so badly. He said I can but no touch. I respected that.

Then, we fought on some thing unrelated and he asked me if I wanted to end the friendship. I told him if I leave today, I would not go back. I packed my stuffs and went. I cried so hard on when I left. He offered the huge but I declined. I told him if I do that, it made me to leave him harder.

When I drove away, he called me but I did not answer. He text me to pull over and waited. He parked and asked me to move in to his car. The he asked that did I really come to see him just to touch his "manhood" for 5 second. I said that he promised me like. He became so emotional and shed the tears. He said he didn't want me to go and did not want to see me suffer. He said if it helps, I can touch him for my own good. He smiled and almost upzip his pant. I was embarrassed and told him to wait.

Well, I have no reason to leave and go back home with him again. We then talked like normal again.

At night, he reminded me again about the offer. I did touch him for 10 sec. I was so imagined that I finally do it and feel it.

Its not so terrible as he thought and he agreed with that.

I thanked him so much for this I believed that he love me from that moment (not sexually thou). He let me rub his chest his nipples and even kiss him on the cheek.

I am sure he feel weird when I rub his nipples. His eyes seemed so intense and he asked me to stop.

He still claimed that I am not a girl so I can not turn him on sexually. But he try already.

Please let me know what to do with him. I am sure he will let me do this again next time (maybe in couple months) I live in DC, he lives in Chicago.

He asked me to keep all secrets with all friends about this. I feel very romantic and love. I feel much better when he sees the humanity of love and give in to me. I could not want more. But I still want more.

[MikeyLove]

Yes, sex changes things. He told you how he feels, you should respect that. If you can't handle that, then stop seeing him. If you feel like you will kill yourself, you need to get help. This guy is willing to go the extra mile for the friendship. It doesn't get any better than that.

I agree, a Gay best friend told me the same thing about us, and our friendship just kept on getting a stronger foundation. Our friendship is too special to involve any form of sex. So, we set up boundries that can never be crossed, unless we want things changed possibly for the worst. We tell each other about the guys we are dating, We support each other when things go wrong with our dates, and vis versa.

[Kulindahr]

Best advice: no more sexual touching. What he did there was an incredible gift to you -- now gift him back; cherish the memory, and use it as a defense against wanting to do it again. He made an incredible sacrifice for you -- bow it's your turn.

Take hugs. Do back rubs. Share a bed. But show him that you really do love him by never doing it again.

[spencer]

Let me preface this by sayin this thread is the reason why I registered (lurker). The reason why is cause it probably hits home because I can see myself easily taking advantage (even unwillingly) of a situation where someone cares about me and I would be willing to end a friendship (or at least say I would) to get my way just like you have been doing.

It's actually helping me, being in a similar situation, to pretty much give up on my friend who cannot like me that way. I know that if I left him, he'd let me touch him just to keep his friendship. But I know that 1) it would mean nothing and 2) what kind of friend would I be if I forced an ultimatum like that upon him.

How would you react if your best friend in the whole world was a girl and one day she said, i'm hopelessly in love with you and I think we shouldn't be friends anymore unless you let me hold your dick. If you really cared about her, yes, you'd let her do something you normally wouldn't because you cared so much about her friendship that some meaningless touching that meant and felt nothing wouldn't be so bad.

This is exactly what you're doing with him.

If you want to try to mess around with him then do so, but don't throw it in his face and threaten your friendship with it. He obviously cares for you very deeply and doesn't know what to do cause he doesn't want to lose you but you keep forcing him to do things that he doesn't want to do because so.

And in a way thanks for posting this, I can see my situation clearer by reading about yours.

Best advice: no more sexual touching. What he did there was an incredible gift to you -- now gift him back; cherish the memory, and use it as a defense against wanting to do it again. He made an incredible sacrifice for you -- bow it's your turn.

Take hugs. Do back rubs. Share a bed. But show him that you really do love him by never doing it again.

Thank you for all your comments. I found they are a great resource for me to deal with him. During the intense conversation, he has acknowledged my love to him. He even shed tears when listening to me. That was something I was so happy to see.

I did promised him that I will not ask to touch his manhood for 3 years (lol). He has been amused about the idea.

He seemed to be entertaining with me but sometimes he is so serious to ask me to respect him. So I believe he has the moment.

At this time, since I feel I know him so much, even his body. I just want to talk with him more and more. But I will control myself and the topic I conduct with him.

There are two things I've learned about love that apply here. First, you really don't choose who you fall in love with. I think it is nature's little joke. Second, no matter how much you love someone, sometimes it is not returned. That too is nature's little joke.

People of all presuasions have different comfort levels. He has indicated where his comfort level is. If you cannot deal with that, then you don't need to be freinds....period.

Just like you can't change the way you feel, neither can he. It seems to me that somehow you feel your feelings are more important than his. That is selfish and childish. He is just as entitled to his feelings as are you.

It also sounds like you are using the suicide threat to get your way. That is unconscionable. Suicide is a permenant solution to a temporary problem. Seek professional help immediately.

So? Any updates?

[ruanyingxiong]

We are still talking on the phone. I really want to talk about my experience but I know that he doesn't want to talk about it to much. I still send him a "love letter" and he responds with a short message like haha, I deserve a Half. I am sometimes not sure what he means but I am happy what we are right now.

I will see him again in April. I feel that being far away from him is a good idea because if I see him I want him again. I keep my promise not to ask him sexually again for 3 years. But when I see him again, I will tell him that is too harsh for me.

He calls me and I call him mutually. But I feel better after he permiss me to touch him. I don't know how to explain but I feel loved.

Unrequited love sure hurts. I think we've all been through it.

There are a couple of things I don't understand in your story, though. To be frank, I think your friend is either unwise or unkind to let you do what you have done. If he doesn't intend to follow through, he's just making matters worse by encouraging desires he never intends to gratify. He's a cock tease, even if his intentions are good.

You deserve to be loved in return for the love you give. If this man won't do it for you, then you really, really need to find someone who will. If that's not your wife, then there may unfortunately be some things that you will need to fix at home.

You seem to feel that this guy is the only person who can make you happy; but this is only true because you have put yourself in a position where you feel limited to these two choices. But there are many other choices you could make, and you have the power to choose.

A visit to a counselor or psychologist may indeed help you clarify what it is that you really want, and how to get it.

Best wishes to you.

Thank you for your message. It took me so long to get him into this level. Was I hurt before. Yes!!! Because being hurt so bad, I am so fearful to explore into it again. I am not so hurt right now. So it is positive sign for my life.

I wanted to walk out three times very decisively but he managed to get me back. He said I am so cool to be around but I am the pain in the ass more than any women he knows lol. Maybe, he exaggerates a liile bit. But the bottom line is he still wants me to be his best friend.

Yes it is hurt but I seem to enjoy this flavor in my life. I know there many counselor, psychologist and many jubbers want me to back out this relationship. But I think I can bear this pain sometimes and he had shown me that he cared for my pain.

I have to learn how to deal with a man who loves me but not sexually.

Some update, after months and years up and down, I still love him and we agree that nothing will end the friendship of brotherhood (soemtimes). I have him with me on the same bed. He stripped naked for me to explore his body and manhood. His penis responsed to my rubbing and I joked about it but he stated that he has no sexualy feelings. He still feels weird and arwalk. I am very happy that finally I can have him. I feel lucky and thank him to allow the relationship to another level. My love to him almost 20 years. Many tears and sorrows. But I believe the love between straight and gay happened.

[fondledsleepingstr8]

Now i and my straight friend work together in 1 place, but in other part , and even we never meet in week

[Telstra]

mmmmm ok, dramma.
Simple things made complicated ..............

We did not have sex or anything. I touch him all over place on his body. He felt good when I massage his body but when I jerk him, he felt uneasy about it. He never come. He told me that I can never make him come because I am not a girl. I tried about 15 min and gave up. But we had a great time together. I never had sex with man, so I still dont have much experience how to make a straight man feel good sexually. We will see each other again in the next few month. I feel the pain for anyone in my situation but happiness in our case is relative. I no longer feel painful.
