DruidX answered Monday October 11 2004, 1:52 pm: You need to talk to him, face to face, and give him the cold hard truth; That all his freinds will eventually leave him because he's not helping to keep up the relationships and because he's changed so much in a way that you don't think his the real him.
I can't really predcit how he will respond, but if it's somthing along the lines of 'I don't need you, I can get other mates, better mates.' or 'this is the real me, I don't want to hang around with you guys because it's not me any more.' then he's a lost cause, I'm sorry. Maybe after you leave him for a few days to think about what you say, he will come around.
I hope things go okay for you *hug* [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]
