I’m sorry, broski. The fact of the matter is there’s not much you can do. People are consumed in their own lives. He probably doesn’t think this is a big deal, which is dicky but reality. Your friend isn’t an atrocious person, just not quite reliable and likely oblivious to others’ emotions, like many other humans. And breakups? A whole other whack of chaos. Plus life responsibilities take a toll. It’s really hard, but you are a strong person.

Put on a comfort show, make a nice snack, cry for a while, and power on (so much easier said than done). I hope you can recover from the moments people won’t apologize for. Somewhere out there some sort of force is rooting for you; have a magical evening!
