Hi everyone,

Thanks for the advice.

Anita, perhaps what you say is right, but he was initially equally invested too. Both of us were in it, and he was the one who made the first step to come to my city as well. And though it’s a short time since we met – we underwent major life changes in the first six months and the relationship was a great source of energy, understanding and support for both of us.

He called me on NY, sounding happy. I was happy to know that he seemed to be doing great. Suddenly it seemed like things were normal. We spoke a couple of times after that, however, it’s bewildering – one day it’s like we’re these great friends and the next day it’s all very strained.

I think part of me still feels quite bitter about our fight earlier, and the fact that there’s been no apology from his side about some of the things he said. I find it odd to suddenly be ‘normal’ and pretend like nothing happened in the last few months without talking about it.

I’ve decided the best thing I can do it to just let go of all of this mentally and stop being affected by this. I myself have taken several steps back from this friendship and I feel it’s better I just leave it to time and space.

I read somewhere that you never have to ask someone to make space in their lives for you – if they want to, they will. If it’s meant to be, it will. In the meantime, I’m just going to take care of myself, focus on my marriage and prep for my big overseas move 🙂
