So Ryan and Jailbait and I hung out last night. Red Beard joined later, but that's beside the point: Jailbait was alternately happy to be out with us and depressed about his breakup. I was making brownies in the kitchen, when he joined me for a second. He made an exasperated sound and said he was "depressed on and off." I said, "why?"
His head snapped up at me and he said, "you don't know?" I explained I did know, but I didn't know why he was still so upset. And then he said the thing that would make me feel really bad. He mumbled "it's your fault."
I couldn't believe my ears. I asked what it was that he said, and he said, "peer pressure." He then walked away. Later he came back, and I asked why he would say it's my fault, and he turned around again and on the way out of the kitchen said something about going into the tv room.
Total avoidance.
I know I told him that his girlfriend seemed to take advantage of him (very true), but I said it ONCE! Then I never mentioned it again. And when I told him, he said others had said the same thing. I don't understand how he could say it's my fault.
I don't want to cause my friends pain =(

Don't put this on yourself. It's completely unfair of Jailbait to blame you for making him unhappy, you go out of your way to do exactly the opposite.
Jay's right - don't allow yourself to take the blame on this. Shooting the messenger is not on. We all have to take responsibility for our own happiness and someone needs to remind Jailbait about this.
