Re: Should I contact my old friend? -

Hey
From what you've said here, it sounds like you and your friend found a very mature and mutual way to deal with the disagreements you were having. I've been in a similar situation of having to end a friendship because it was no longer a healthy and happy one, so I know it sucks to lose someone you care for. I'm glad you feel like you've worked on yourself enough to try again though. I think that shows a lot of strength and you should be proud of yourself for that.
I feel like it's definitely okay for you to reach out, but bare in mind that everyone processes and deals with things differently. Just because you choose to reach out, doesn't mean he has to or will respond, so I think if you're willing to accept that this might happen, then you're not in the wrong for trying to make contact.
That being said, I don't think there's a right or wrong thing to do in this case. If you chose not to contact him, that would be okay too. Moving on is sometimes a good thing, and it wouldn't be wrong of you to want to do this either.
Either way, I hope you manage to find a way forward that works for you and your friend.
