What is your perspective on this?

Adam goes through a messy separation and is supported by his friend, Emma. She has health problems so they mutually support each other almost daily, instigated mainly by Adam.
A few months on, Adam goes quiet and Emma is confused until she finds out he has a new girlfriend. She finds out via someone else. Emma eventually tells Adam she feels their relationship has changed and he is bewildered and asks why. They meet in person and Emma says she feels that Adam pulled away when before they were talking a lot. He is bewildered and apologises but Emma just goes quiet and cries. What would you think of them both?

Emma grew dependent on Adam while he was only trying to be a good friend. Adam found a partner and shifted what he was willing to give. Emma is now expecting Adam to be the guy he always was, but hes looking for a different sort of relationship. Emma has very reason to be sad about it, but expecting to get more than what she has from Adam is too much - he is only a friend. Maybe he should not have been so kind and giving to start with if it was only going to lead to dependence.

@TwiddlerofThumbs So you don't think Emma was used?
@Jenni855 Sounds like they are using each other, Only he didn't need her support any longer. she still needed his.

@TwiddlerofThumbs What do you mean?
@Jenni855 Just that it is a familiar scenario. I think many of us have been in similar situations.
