Should I forgive my ex best friend? ?

Question

first of all we are all g*y males in our mid 20's.

I met him when I was in the 5th grade in 1995 and we became best friends. We got along so well and even got our parents at the time to be friends and they still are to this day. Well everything started going downhill in 2001 once I met my first boyfriend. My friend didn't like him and would tell me everyday that I should leave him so one day I finally had enough and told my friend that if he can't accept my boyfriend that he can leave. My friend chose to leave and to stop talking to me all together. We didn't talk for 7 years until he called me 2 days ago and told me that he had a hard time finding me. He told me that not one day goes by that he doesn't think of me and miss me. The thing I am worried about is that I've met a cool new male friend in 2003 and he's my best friend now and I know for sure that he'll never walk out of my life. I hangout with him every day after work and I enjoy our time that we spend together. I've kind of moved on and i'm scared to let my ex best friend back into my life now. Should I forgive him & give him another chance?

Answer 2

What I do for these horrible but necessary decisions is flip a coin. No I don't leave the biggies to a toss of the coin, but if you call it in the air,the instant you see the result, you will feel your hearts answer. The best advice I can give anyone is, follow your heart. Or more elequently by the Bard " This above all to thine ownself be true".

  

Answer 3

you can still be his friend, but you don't have to be his Best Friend.

Go out for coffee and catch up. See if he is different, find out what he is doing.

I have friends that I used to be really close with, then things change and people get new friends, but know I see then every few months and just catch up now and again.  

Answer 4

No...You need no drama. Many years have passed. You both have changed. Let sleeping dogs lay...

Answer 5

Yes, be the mature one and forgive him. He did something wrong, but hey- we all make mistakes! You don't have to talk to him everyday or even hang out, just forgive him. The more [friends] the merrier! [=
