He always responded.
Not this time, so I messaged him a few days later when he told me that since I betrayed his trust, he wanted to keep things professional from here on out. I agreed but now it feels like I lost a friend. Someone who was meant to be a ”good” friend only in the beginning. Although I didn’t feel the same way for him as he felt for me, my heart is still breaking just a little.
Maybe it’s because I lost what I thought I could control, maybe it’s just because the mutual ending was still a rejection in my mind. Who knows. I am dreading the next time I see him professionally though, and I have no idea when that will be.
