I’ve had that many friends in my life and never many good friends. I have two very good friends, who are the best I’ve ever had and probably the best that I will ever have. I betrayed one of them about six months ago by attempting to have either a sexual or romantic relationship with his serious girlfriend. I don’t believe that I did it out of lust, but rather an intense desire for love and affection, which I’ve never experienced in my life. He knows about it, but only a half-truth. He has forgiven me – or so he says – for the half-truth. For reasons unbeknownst to me, our friendship may now be extremely weakened. How do I repay my debt to him?
