I found a really good friend in a guy I know on xbox live.
And before you all say "that's nothing like this", I'll say that we were such good friends that we'd began hanging out on weekends via trips to London from our own respective cities, and going to all the night clubs in London and helping each other meet plenty of different women.
We eventually started meeting each others families and calling each other brothers.
(No we ain't gay together, but we're kind of like JD and Turk in how unerringly like a couple we were, ha ha.)
Anyway, he suddenly, and for no reason that I could grasp for, dropped off the face of the planet and then showed up very rarely on Xbox Live, answered none of my calls and acted like a dick when I wasn't online at exactly the same time as he was, plus there was the more important matter of him sleeping with my sister, who's married. (My sisters' a bitch, so I don't care about that. I cared about the show of disrespect he displayed towards me.)
I left him a voicemail saying that "I'm done! Whatever head games you're playing, they've either succeeded with gusto, or failed miserably. Don't talk to me again unless you want treat me like a real friend and prove you're seriously worth my time."
He took 4 months where he continually tried to get back in touch with me. (You have to understand that to us, we are the family/brothers that each other lacks in real life, and we both have genetic brothers and family, older and younger than us, so this says something.)
I finally let him in again, and he has done everything possible to get my forgiveness. It's been 6 months now and I will never forgive him for it, but I have accepted it.
Most of the time, anger just gets in the way of freindship and relationships in general. And I'm not saying forgive him for doing something that is majorly wrong, I'm saying, make sure he's earned your respect again before you let him back in.
Right! Now I'm going to man up, go and fart a bit and drink some horrible tasting beer.
