Ditto.

I unfriended an actual friend because she was bringing drama onto my Wall (this was awhile ago, obviously, lol). She took offense and pretty much pouted, threw a fit, blah, blah, blah.

Uhm, right.....so my options were to either A) keep her as a friend and let her abuse me on my own page! ~or~ B) totally abandon her as a friend. There was no in between....she never gave me an option to be her friend without making it "official" on Facebook.

Like I said, drama-rama. I don' t need this stuff!

I recently deactivated my FB account. Its just a breeding ground for drama. Unfortunately, I seem to find drama on other socializing sites as well.


But back to you....

I think you should give him the time he requests to be alone. If I was your friend, I would have said "adios!" to you for not giving me space. (This is a boundary issue, and if you can't respect his boundaries, you have no business being his friend....regardless of what he's done to you in the past.)

After a month or so, revisit the friendship and see if its something you both want to pursue.

I think time apart could do the both of you some good.
