[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds toxic and immature.[/quote]

I don't think that was the question.[/quote]

NP. Why bother with any of it? Sounds like an energy vampire and I heard nothing about why this friendship is positive for you.[/quote]

OP here. Before the new gf entered the picture, he would call me to chat, etc. and I enjoyed hearing from him. Nowadays, it hasn’t really been a positive experience for me so I’m not sure what the future holds in that regard. Because if they break up, it’s not as if things will go back to how they used to be.

OP here. I should also note that we were inseparable best friends for years, so the new gf in effect wants to replace me as his best friend. He was concerned that he’d be left without an emotional support network in the event they break up if he burns a bridge with me. Though they have done a great job in succeeding in destroying our friendship, and he and she have already broken up twice in six months. So it’s not a great situation. [/quote]

Hard truth -- if you want the best for him, and want him to move on and have a full relationship with someone, with sexual and emotional intimacy, you have to step back and give him that space. He'll probably never be "all in" while you are his BF.[/quote]
