((((((((((( Patty )))))))))))

My first reaction to this situation with him not wanting any more contact was that he was being completely selfish. It sounds like he wants more out of your relationship than you are willing to give. So, because he can't have his cake and eat it too, he's taking his toys home and won't play anymore. *sigh*

If he were a true friend (one without expectations of anything more than friendship from you) he would not have abandoned you in your time of need. I think he showed his true colors Patty....I'm sorry

I defintely agree you are better off without him. You have enough to deal with right now that is stressful. You don't need a man who puts conditions on a relationship with you...friends or otherwise.
