Hi Ponygirl,

Your friend sounds like he has that very typical male trait (like me) that makes him not want to open up to anybody. We don't like people to know our problems so we only open up to one or two people that are very important to us. So you are obviously very important to him, and he probobly still wants to be able to talk to you, because people like you are IMPOSSIBLE to replace. So I think it's just a matter of time before he forgives you (if he hasn't already), and even starts to confide in you again. Maybe he might even be a little jealous that you talked to someone else about your problems instead of him? He may need to know that he's really important to you, and I think your gift to him should help a lot. (It would for me anyway)

As much as we like to pretend otherwise, men are very simple creatures. We are very proud and very private, and it's hard for us to trust other people because it makes us feel vulnurable.
