...See more i'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but i do have a lot of anxiety surrounding this situation so... anyway, i was best friends with this guy for a few years. we ended up dating for a short time but i got too anxious for the relationship so i cut it off. fast forward to this past september and i found out he sexually assaulted two girls in the same manner and completely lied to me about it. i felt like an idiot. when i was reading about what constituted sexual assault, i found out he had been doing the same type of thing to me when we were dating. i confronted him about it and i cut off the friendship. along with this, he tried to "apologize" to me twice but both times it ended up being more about him than me or the other girls. i told him to stop talking to me. now i've been obsessing over this for the past 5/6 months which is how i tend to get when something is bothering me. i just have a few questions: 1. How can I forgive him? I realized recently that my forgiveness for other people usually constitutes me just not giving a shit anymore... i feel like this isn't healthy lol. 2. why do i still want to be friends with him? this is mind-boggling to me. obviously he is not a good person and our friendship is very complicated but i miss my friend. & i don't understand why. any help is appreciated. ❤️
