» dynamite120 - how can I make things alright again?

Hi,

Thanks for your reponse.

Yes, he is in another relationship. Understand, that I am only looking to regain my FRIENDSHIP with him. Nothing more. I accepted his decision and made it clear to him that I did. We were friends long before his current relationship began and almost got into a relationship ourselves but he cowered out. Since my return I've been trying to get our close friendship back to how it used to be, but he seems to find it stressfull. We've dicussed this and he agrees that he's been acting horribly but has not made any effort to improve. I think he feels that I "let him down" by leaving and I think he is afraid to "let me in" again now. I think that he is trying to protect himself and the reason that he said "it wont' work" is precisely because it will "work" and that's not what he wants. He wants to be with women he can easily discard. It's not like that with us and we both know it. Anyway, I've realised that I don't want to have a "romantic" relationship with him but I do want to be a part of his life. I just don't know how to show him that my intentions are honorable...

Reading this back to myself I realise how silly I sound. We both sound like idiots. Why am I wasting my time begging someone to accept my friendship. His behaviour doesn't deserve it and he doesn't want it anyway. Yes, you're right, I need to let it go.

Thanks again for your time,

Dynamite120
