I hope someone can give me some advice or find some way to help me stop feeling so wretched about all of this.
I have a male friend who I've known for over ten years.
When we have a disagreement over something, he will convey his displeasure by ignoring me and not interacting with me at all for weeks, yet will carry on as normal with all our other friends.
This latest time, he has not spoken to me for over two weeks. I tried acting blase about it and still made attempts to communicate all of which were ignored.
Last night he finally contacted me to tell me he was annoyed about something I said and didn't feel ready to converse with me yet.
After two weeks of being made to feel completely worthless and invisible, I responded to him by telling him that many times he has also upset me by the things he's said, but that I will always make a point of discussing it with him and have never just shut him out.
He seemed to see sense as he has now text me to say "This is ridiculous, let's meet up for coffee and sort this out"
However, I'm now left feeling unsure as to whether I want to sort this out.
I got no sleep last night and have been feeling very upset and anxious about it all for 2 weeks.
It's not the first time he's done this and I'm not sure that I want to be friends with someone who will go to such great lengths to cause upset to me by actively ostracising me for such lengths of time.
What would you do in my position?
