Hi Artemis,

You asked, "Should we have sex?" We answered that but also challenged "We're best friends" and "He respects me" because his behavior doesn't indicate those. Many of us have reconciled.. or moved on in a healthy way. It's helpful to face what you're dealing with? Especially, if you want to reconcile. (:
