Words you don’t really want to hear…..

So my best guy friend/FWB has been feeling depressed lately Bc he hasn’t settled down yet. I have kids, he doesn’t. I can’t have anymore. Eventually he does. But he’s been thinking about his ex a lot lately. Like from 9 years ago! She’s married and moved on. Get over it! But then he’ll say things like “she was my best friend and I let alcohol screw that up”. It hurts me to hear that. I’m his best friend now. He tells me. Maybe not relationship material but it still stings. I told him he’ll never be emotionally available if he’s still dwelling on the past.
