[quote=Anonymous]Two and a half years ago, your friend had just lost his wife, was grieving terribly, and reached out for some physical comfort. Probably not his greatest judgment call, but grief does that kind of thing to people. Under the circumstances, though, I wouldn't have assumed that his reaching out reflected any deeper feelings for you. Not that he didn't regard you as a friend, but that his reaching out was probably more about his grief than about you personally. I realize that may be painful to hear and I'm sorry for that, but I don't think it's helping you to hold onto the idea that it was anything more than that.

So forgive him for his lapse in judgment. Accept that it wasn't meant to hurt you, that he just wasn't his right self at that moment and made a mistake. Accept that you two are just friends and he isn't interested in anything more than that. If you can't do that, I would give up the friendship, because it doesn't sound like you'll ever get what you're looking for.[/quote]
