I have just found out what a friend of 14 years really thinks of me. Has been in and out of my life over that time for various reasons, but always returned. Now just recently I am told, I beg and plead, make him feel guilty and stress him out. I feel I should just pull out of this friendship, feel I am now stopping him from getting better, but I promised I would never leave him, always love him,i do love him, always will. I feel so hurt right now, never realised he was feeling all this and just didn’t want to tell me. Would appreciate some advise, this is just a friendship nothing romantic whatever. Do I break my promise and leave or stay knowing how I make him feel. Both options seems kind of selfish to me. Could the friendship ever be the same knowing that I have caused these problems??
