My husband had a best friend from high school who reached out to try to be friends again. They didn't have a bad falling out. His friend just jumped off the face of the Earth. Based on the text messages he was being abused at home and left and got into an abusive relationship that got him hooked on drugs. He's doing better in life now and would like to rekindle the friendship. They haven't spoken in 8 years and my husband is really open to rebuilding the friendship. We are married with kids now and I was honestly always told when you're married to have married friends. It's a lot less drama than having single friends. And this guy clearly isn't in a relationship let alone married. I know I shouldn't control my husband's friendship but they were friends 8 years ago. Idk why the guy can't just make new friends. Maybe friends he has something in common with because him and my husband most likely have nothing in common anymore.
