Dear Mel:

You are welcome.

“Every time we hang out I have my fears and anxieties”- this is enough evidence that you shouldn’t hang out with him.

“I wonder if this friendship is worth all this anxiety”- a friendship based on denying the truth, and pretending what happened- didn’t happen, is not a friendship. It’s a pretend-friendship.

“everyone  seems to be denying it”- not everyone: the most important person is not denying it, and that most important person in your life, and in this thread, is you.

Don’t deny the truth because it’s convenient for others to deny the truth. Not even if it’s convenient for you to deny it. Be true to yourself, be true to.. what is true.
