also, julie, it sounds to me like you are leaning towards forgiving him. he's apologized and it would be easier to swallow your feelings and accept it. I know it's very unattractive to say that you have to hate someone and freeze them out forever, especially a friend. It sounds like a lot of work.

You CAN accept his apology. You CAN forgive him. You don't have to hate him forever.

What you should not do is forget. He can be sorry, and maybe he means it, but his actions had consequences that change everything. It was serious. So I really think it's best to be done with him.
