Ok, so I’m a junior in high school, a guy, and 17. And I’ve really never been the sort of person to affiliate myself with exchanged students, but I met a German exchanged student at the beginning of this year, his name is Marcel. We literally clicked, and started becoming best friends very fast. Me and him literally did everything together and we would stay at eachothers houses every single weekend, literally. It was so much fun. I’ve had horrible experiences with losing people in my life, all of my other best friends have literally died. And I’ve never had a friendship as great as this one. We continued to grow closer, and I remember all the time he would tell me he gets in fights with his host mom and stuff. Then one day at the beginning of February, he got in a huge fight with her. And so he decided to find a different family. He couldn’t find one. And then I thought, it would be so cool of he lived me. Just my best friend, we’d be like brothers. And so he moved in with me in February. He was soooooo excited and so was I! And we thought it was the coolest thing when he moved in. We hung out every day, talked non stop late into the nights, had our girlfriends over and backed eachother up so we wouldn’t get in trouble with my parents, even though I don’t like his girlfriend, and he doesn’t like mine, we support eachother. And then things got weird. He started hanging out with his girlfriend sooooo much. Literally everyday he would bring her over. And they’re relationship grew. But I lost my girlfriend. And so then I started feeling left out and that he didn’t like to hang out with me as much anymore. It made me feel horrrrible. I tried to tell him they hang out too much and he just got mad at me. And his girlfriend’s friends thought the same too. Things just started changing, he became more short with me, and didn’t want to do anything but sit in our room. I didn’t get it. He used to be so much more excited and pumped to go to parties with me or play video games etc. I didn’t know what I did wrong. Anyways, his parents visited from Germany last week and they stayed in a house near my house. And me and my family got to meet them and stuff. And while his parents were here, his girlfriend randomly and viciously dumped him. Out of nowhere. Because she was talking to some other guy. And so he got into an extremely bad mood for a long time. He slowly talked to her, and they’re kinda together right now, but not dating. She’s a piece of **** and it makes me mad she could make him so depressed like that. And he didn’t believe me when I told him that she was talking to some other guy. He ALWAYS trusted me, and we told eachother everything. But I had been hiding a secret. I keep getting fevers and night sweats and joint pains and infections. So I brought myself to get some blood work, and the hospital believed to see leukemia. I was devastated because so many people in my life have died from cancer. I didn’t know what to do, so I just went and told him looking for support, just like I supported him through his tough break up. He was in shock at first, but then he started saying that I’m putting pressure on him, and that it shouldn’t begin responsibility to babysit him or something? All I wanted was a shoulder to lean on. And this just made me more angry, and the night I told him me and him were going to a party. He decides to bring that stupid girl. I didn’t want to party at all. I just wanted to go home and talk to him. But he didn’t care. He wanted to hang out with that no good whore and not support his friend. It pissed me off. I just pretended that the cancer wasn’t bothering me anymore because he was just getting mad and I didn’t know what I did. Did I do something wrong? I thought me and him were so close. We’re always talking or doing something fun. He thought it was ok. And then he flat out ditched me and took that girl with him somewhere and left be bawling my eyes out thinking I was going to die. After all that, he began hanging out with this other kid I don’t like, he doesn’t want to do anything fun with me, he just wants to do homework. I only have a limited time left with him before he leaves. I am visiting him in Germany next year, but I won’t get to see my best friend for a long time. I just want things to be fun again, and for him to actually like talking and hanging out with me. So I need help, do you think what he did was just a little messed up:/? And I tried confronting him about hanging out with that other kid but he’s still going to. I want my best fiend back to how he used to be. I miss him. Do you have any advice on what I should do? He’s sleeping as I’m typing this, which shows how much interest he has in having fun. It’s Friday..please just tell me how to talk to him to get him back. I’ve never been this close to a friend and he’s like my brother. Sorry
