/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've got a doozy of a story gulls, what do?

>be me, freshly minted 18 yr old, me and my best friend at the time make a very unique pair of costumes and run it to a con a few hours away
>I made most of the costumes as I'm better with crafting but I didn't mind, since we were both enjoying it and enjoying each other
>it becomes a very big hit, inspires spinoff and parody costumes, and becomes a con favorite
>we repeat this for 2 more years, each time slightly improving or altering costumes to switch it up, but the same very unique theme. At year #3, the con chair straight up asks us to staff next year
>His schoolwork is picking up and he's busy, so I make all of the costuming, but I don't mind, since it's our thing
>We prepare to go in for year #4, he mentions maybe 2 days before we leave "oh anon my girlfriend will be there isn't it awesome? dont worry ill spend the weekend with you, shes got her friends and im only going to say hi when we see her".
>we're driving down to the con and he says "oh anon my girlfriend is going to be there saturday, im going to spend some of the day with her, dont worry well do the cosplay contest".
>we're at the con and he says "oh anon my girlfriend got here early, im going to go see her, well catch up with you later."
>we spent maybe 3 hours together on friday, and then maybe 2 hours saturday, our matching cosplays were pretty much wasted
>had several people asking me if I'd seen my friend's costume as it was similar and if we were together, I tell them "no, must just be a coincidence..."
>sunday morning after packing, he asks if its okay for me to let him drive back with his girlfriend
>I just cant any more
>feel like the costumes I've spent so much time making have been wasted
>he starts ignoring and dropping texts, calls, voicemail, but its weird because I still see him liking and sharing posts on my FB page (?)
