I wonder how he would react and what he would say to you if you spent time talking to another man? Do you think it would affect him in the same way that his behavior has affected you?
I also think, would you really want to be "with" someone that looks in the other direction at a time when you need support the most? Personally, I wouldn't want to be with someone like that.
By the way, its totally normal for friendships and romantic interests to drift away over time. Maintaining a friendship or relationship takes work from BOTH sides... not 50%-50%, but more 100%-100% on each person's end. When the balance gets out of whack, people drift away.
That's actually how friendships morph and how people become less close. Its gradual. Most of the time there isn't a huge blowout or significant event that causes a friendship to fracture.
