I tried to maintain a friendship with a woman I met in recovery while I was dating my fiancee. I thought it would work, and I couldn't have been more wrong. I kept breaking up with my fiancee over it, I was putting her through hell because of my commitment issues and my friendship with a sick person.
If your friend feels that detaching from you is the best decision, why not honor and respect his wish?
