Forgiveness

So I'm trying to not kill Jeff here, but I decided I need to find out why he tried to hurt me. I tried talking to him in person...but within seconds, I knew I didn't trust him enough to talk about it with him. Instead I emailed him and he emailed me back, but I'm not sure what is going on now. I've forgiven him, but it's going to take a long time to get over what he did. He just doesn't seem to understand. His excuse "You and I have different ideas of what constitutes a date".

He's become withdrawn since he met Todd, and we never talk anymore. I completely understand wanting to spend time with the new interest...but I've learned the hard way to never abandon your friends as they always stand by you.
