My best friend . . thru thick & thin . . for 7 years started dating this woman who was recently divorced. She's never like me or wants me around because she's jealous of me being also a woman, and also a neighbor. Anyway, my friend totally put me on the back burner and went from calling me regularly to maybe once every couple weeks. I told him he was being an ass, but appreciated his honesty and completely left him alone. I never called or anything - rarely.

Last weekend the girl gumped him after a year! Now my friend is back to his old routine of calling me 3 times a day and stopping by my work, etc. He's scared of being alone (he's 50) and seems to be willing to do anything to keep a relationship working - ACCEPT - be loyal to his friends.

So what do you all think? Should I take him back and be understanding - or do I tell him he blew the friendship?? He knows what he's done - I've told him how I feel, and he's very apologetic. I won't play any games, but am dying to hear what you all say!!
