What has made this so hard is that the good in him, and in our friendship, FAR outweighs the bad. I mean, how often is that the case? It's usually the other way around.

Idk, maybe it'd help if you lower your expectations a little. Not saying that you're expecting to much, just saying that with some people, you just have to accept the fact that they're never going to change.

You can change your reaction to him though and not let him upset you as much. I think it'd help you to look up stuff on here about passive aggressive friends and difficult friends, and how to deal with them.

When the good outweighs the bad, then it's worth keeping the friendship going for sure. Also, good friends are hard to find, so do whatever you can within reason, and never take any friendship for granted. Doing so can end what took years to build.
