So how did you two drift apart? My ex-best friend and I used to be extremely close. We considered ourselves to be truly brothers. We did everything together. We were always a package deal. Most of time you couldn't get one without the other.
Sometime this summer though, it was getting apparent that I was really being completely dependent on him. So he started to pull away. When I saw that, I tried to get back in which only pushed him farther away.
Now we haven't spoken properly in a couple of months.
I found that instead of searching for a new person to just be dependent on, but built the existing relationships I had so I had more than one leg to fall on, so to speak. I also hope that if he sees that I'm no longer completely dependent, we can rebuild our friendship.
