Anger envelops our hurts to protect us from the piercing wounds we may feel. This has been for as long as people have been people. It is not different today. He is angry and so erasing you at the moment comforts him. But where does that leave you? Standing alone, without your friend. Friends are formed by these ravages of the heart; if there is patience, if there is time, if there is love, the friendship deepens. If not, then the possibility flies away on the wind. The friends that I have are people who worked anger and hurt through with me. Sometimes it took a few years.

I really don't know what to do. On one hand, I want to leave him alone and to let him breathe and think about it. On the other, I want to talk to him, to explain that not everything is the way it seems, but I know that he won't listen and believe me. Either choices seem wrong to me. I can wait and do nothing and blame myself for standing away or reminding him of myself, and feeling sorry for hurting him. Stuck.

Give him some space. A little while. Then try again. He will miss you and then he may be more open to listen... Right now, he is blocked to your words by his anger which is protecting his heart from feeling the hurt in its entirety. As the hurt leaks into his soul, he will know that he hurts because he loves you. If it's possible write him a note saying that you are not far away, thinking of him.

And sometimes, sad to say, forgiveness from the person who is hurt, is not possible... it is here that the difficult work of forgiving yourself begins. Been there... so been there!

Practically, all I can do is just write him an e-mail. It is funny how one of the means I criticise is the only way to reach him. But I am still searching for words that won't sound stupid and useless... And to admit it, I an scared to death that he will reject me.
Thanks for the words, you are constantly giving me hope. Hugs!
