Hi ~ I think I would hold my ground and NOT say anything. He needs to know how STRONGLY you feel about this, and by saying something he will know how much you miss him, and that will send the message that "anything he does is ok with you" because you NEED him so much. That's not what you want him to think.
You want him to know that with friends, there HAVE to be some boundaries -- some morals & ethics. You want to be a stand-up person, and if he's going to play these kinds of rotten games, then maybe he's not the person you want to hang out with. Perhaps he'll grow up and see that you mean business and if he values your friendship, he'll knock off this nonsense.
Best of luck and God bless. I hope your friend copies YOUR behavior!! Take care. Hugs, Lee
