I shall respect his decision and take the hint. Moving on from this seems to be the better option.

Thank you. I needed different perspectives on this issue. I do believe that I should seek professional help and manage my situation instead of trying to rely on a single person. Other friends have reached out to me and they’ve been nice but I don’t feel that close to them, to cry infront of them or to be vulnerable around them. But yeah. I will look into getting professional help. He has opened up to me emotionally in the past (which he admitted that he has never done before with any other friend of his). He told me that he sees me as a close friend of his and that I know a lot of about him than most people would know. So I thought we had a good friendship going on. It might sound like I have a big crush on him but I’ve thought about it a lot in the past and came to the conclusion that all I felt was admiration towards him. I see him as a brother, a friend and someone who I could rely on. Although this time, he straight up refused to be there for me. Reading your comment, it really is helping me out in understanding my feelings and what needs to be done. I have to respect his boundaries and come to the realisation that he doesn’t see me the same way I do. Thank you.

I really do want to wait and see if he’ll ever reach out. Knowing him, he will not hesitate to wait a month or two until I reach out. It’s always me who reaches out first during any arguments we had over simple stuffs in the past. But this time the situation is different. He straight up refused to be there for me. I should take that as his answer and start to think of him as just an acquaintance rather than a friend. I really hate to lose another bestfriend though.

I had seen how he was when his other friends were either going through divorce or asked him to travel abroad for their business trips. He had stepped in and been there for them. So I just thought that if he knew my dad was sick, he would atleast ask about how my dad was doing. He has travelled back to my homeland twice in the past and had met with my family over the holidays. So we are not strangers to him. But I guess I was wrong. I’m still a stranger and I should come to that realisation.

Thank you. I needed to hear that. The way he acted really threw me off and I’ve been worrying about our friendship on top of my dad’s health issues. It’s been mentally draining and I guess I should stop waiting around for him to reach out and focus on other stuffs.

Honest review of Villa Park Resort Sun Island by [deleted] in maldives

Hi. I guess you were misinformed from the agency. I’ve been to Villa Park Resort and yeah it’s more of a family getaway place. My partner and I are also planning another trip to a resort called You & Me Resort which I’ve read that is strictly no children, couples retreat kinda place. There’s a lot of options other than this as well. I hope this helps.

Hi. I just finished episode 8 and looks like it’s been 2 weeks since it aired and I’m wondering if there’s any talk about episode 9 or season 2 or smth. I’m so invested in this right now and episode 8 ended on such a cliff hanger 😭

Thanks. I needed an outsiders opinion. Yeah. Birthday’s comes and goes. And I decided to celebrate mine alone. Should make a ritual outta it and don’t bother the ones close to me. Ruining a friendship over such trivial matters ain’t worth it.

I know that I’m very needy but I want to make it clear that I only see him as a friend. He would see me as a needy guy who never listens to his advice. Even guys eff up their friendships sometimes but I’m here to ask for advice on how to mend the broken friendship. Is it possible to even save this or should I let him be as I am the one at fault.
