...See more So my best friend and I have been really close for quite a while, to the point where we share nearly everything with each other. We live 10 hours (by car) away from each other right now because of the pandemic, and its been difficult to not have my friend close. Hes been having some problems in his family lately, especially relating to his dads turbulent relationship with him and his mom (hes an only child). The other day, he had an absolutely awful day, and called me at 1:10 AM asking if we could watch a comedy show together. In my naievete I mustve misread the intensity of the situation, and told him that I needed to go to bed so I could get up at 8:00 AM. The next day, he told me he felt really hurt and betrayed that I hadnt stayed up with him. He felt like I wasnt there for him when he needed it most, and if the tables were turned he wouldve done the same thing for me. I told him that I didnt understand the situation at the time, and that if I wouldve known I wouldve absolutely stayed up with him. He said hed been reevaluating the nature of our friendship, and wasnt sure if we could stay best friends anymore. This really hurt me, because Ive had an emotionally manipulative best friend ghost me before, and Im still dealing with complex trauma from that relationship. He responded to one of my texts yesterday, but hasnt been responding since. Im not sure what I should do- I want to show him that it was legitimately a misunderstanding
