Vikki27 answered Sunday June 25 2006, 2:34 pm: If you are really fighting that much then I guess the truth of the situation is that you haven't really been friends with each other for some time, especially if they are particularly vicious. People put the title 'friend' on someone and then if this happens, it's always a big decision whether or not to remove the title. Actually, a friend is only as good as their behaviour towards you. If they don't treat you as a friend, they aren't your friend at all and you deserve better.
I know it's nasty to have to say goodbye to someone who meant a lot to you in the past but it sounds like it would be the right thing to do right now. Maybe at some point in the future you will be able to be friends again but right now you need to cut this one loose and focus on the people who really can be good friends to you. Don't worry, you will be fine without him. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

Explain to jack that you didnt mean it when you said thet the two of you shoudln't be friends. Your friendship means alot to him snd more than liely he was hurt by this. Let jack know that you still want to be friends, that you really value his friendship, and that you're sorry for what you said! I'm sure he will understand and the two of you will be friends agian in no time!

it's up to you if you want to be friends with him or not, but if you do, then hear me out. i would say to apologize to him, even if you don't really want to. then try to explain to him why you said that. like you feel really distant from him and you want to be closer and that you really don't like fighting with him. if he accepts you, then hang out more, and do things that you both like to do.
