I want to end a friendship, but I don't know how. Background: we dated for 2 years (2009-2011), then became friends in 2012. It was confusing at first, but it worked because we were both single and weren't attracted to each other (yeah) but loved each other dearly. We were like companions. He got a girlfriend last spring, and our relationship changed. It had to. But it hurt me. And while he is still my friend, he never calls me anymore. But i am still attached to him I think, because sometimes I still call him when I'm not doing well, and need support. He actually nudged me to email my ex. :-O And then when i read him the response I got, he didn't think it was mean, just honest. I feel like....my friend is not good for me for the most part. Yes, he has his good points. But I feel like I am annoying and a burden more than anything toward him and his gf, who doesn't like me. I'm not even around that much anymore. But I think maybe this is a toxic friendship. Sometimes I feel more hurt than better when I interact with him, but I feel like, it's hard to stop because I'm soooo used to it and comfortable. But I want to respect myself!!!
