Lately, I’ve been hanging out with a friend I don’t want to hang out with anymore. I thought we were best friends, but both of us have grown apart, and they’ve said and done some things that have hurt me a lot recently. I haven’t made the best choices in confronting them in the past, and I’ve apologized and learned from those. But even though they’ve screwed up too (and know it), it’s “always Nova’s fault” and after an insincere apology, they do this over and over again. Now that we’ve grown emotionally apart, I feel a lot better, until I’m talking to them, and then all of the old insecurities I felt come back.

What am I doing wrong? How do I make peace with myself and our relationship? Should I continue it or distance myself? And should I confront them?
