A Long Time Friend...Or So I Thought

Life is like a book, some characters are in every page, some character just in a few chapters, some just in a few pages, don't torture yourself, and just be glad and rejoy of that you had the chance to enjoy such times together.

I can relate, I had a friend wich just literally just like a brother to me, we grew up together, always been together for 20+ years, but life decisions and priorities took us apart, we learnt to accept it, check on each other on big events (he recently had a baby to put an example, and I reached him to congratulate him), but we are no longer as close as we used to, but I know we still know each other like the back of our hands.

As I said, don't torture yourself, that's life, accept everyone has his own way in life, and enjoy that you shared so much time together, that's a treasure that no one will be able to take from either of you, unless you guys give into resentment and hatred.

He is still like a brother to me, just a brother that it's making his own life and doesn't share time with me, and as long as he is happy, and he is happy that I'm happy, although we may followed different paths, is good enough for me.

 

The first thing is talk to him directly about how his actions have changed towards you. It is so easy to make assumptions about someone or something when you do not have all the relevant information. Approach it with a view to get things back to how they were and see if he responds positively. If not, then you will have to deal with looking for a new best mate.

 

yes

 

As IGY said you might want to talk. Maybe he has his own issues.
Just keep in mind that sometimes, real brothers who are extremely close with each other even in their twenties end up not talking to one another later in life. It happens.
