Time will go on and he will make his decision, if he hasn't already. If he decides to open up about his issue and remain friends, that'd be great. But I will gently mention too, prepare yourself for if he decides not to continue being friends.  Friendships are voluntary relationships; no one can force another person to be their friend. As for the advice you've been finding elsewhere, keep in mind that opinions on friendship vary individually. Sure, there is a general consensus most of us have about them but there is still room for different ideas.

Thanks for the hug
I'll try to let it go, no matter how much it bothers me. I'm tryin to come to terms with the fact that I might never know what sparked this in the first place. No matter how much I try to encourage him to talk about whatever it is though I can't force him to act until hes ready, if he ever decides to act at all. I just really hope that if he does come to a decision and decides he no longer wants to be friends that he would at least let it end on good terms and give it a respectful end like I asked in the beginning (or at least take me off his friendslist so im not kept wondering).
To be honest though I really don't think he'll end the friendship, but thats only because I can't think of anything I've done that would cause him to be angry at me in the first place. My optimistic side is at war with my pessimistic side though. All I can do is wait and hope this has a positive end.
