Yes, do what you feel is right, @
black-roses.
I haven't read all of your posts about your situation with Ben, but I do know he was talking about you to his mum, he broke your trust and confidentiality which is hurtful, and that he didn't really acknowledge how that upset you.
I'm just wondering if he knows where you stand with him? I'm also wondering if he knows now, that you don't like him to break confidentiality? Did it sink in that he angered you?
Sounds like you're giving your friend another chance, which is nice.
