PS Every single line of your last post resonated with me. Especially this:
Quote: In looking at my friends-- the ones I have aren't like this. I don't wish to set new, lower standards for friendship, and I feel that I've treated him like a friend esp. the past 8 months and he has not done the same. That's what I meant by "clean up his act".
Being a friend is not always easy, nor is it without responsibility and work. I think sometimes they say they want to be friends, meaning, "let's be friendly toward each other and not be hostile." Well, that is not enough for a true friendship. True friendship is a relationship and a commitment of its own. Otherwise, I think the WAs are just looking for a "benign neglect" situation. If he wants to be friends, rise to the occasion and be a real friend.
