I am 21M and I have a friend that is 27M. Whenever there is a problem he is constantly apologising every single minute and he is constantly saying that he is working on his problems with his therapist and wants everything to go back to where it was.

I can give on example, my best friend, 20F, she stopped talking to him for a few weeks because he made a huge drama and acted in a very jealousy way towards me. He is obsessed with me and wants to have a relationship with me and even without being on a relationship he is acting over the top jealousy with me. She said that that didn’t make any sense and was toxic behaviour. He tried every single way to contact her, he even when to her house to talk with his mother and to search for her. He constantly told me that I should make a meeting of us 3 because he needs to talk about the problem right now, that it is now or never. I said that people don’t owe him to talk about certain problems every moment. She wanted some space and some time, and he didn’t accept that. He then told me that I am a bad person and rude. That he wants to talk about the problem and to be accepted and apology and everything to go back to normal.

Nevermind how I explain it to him, he doesn’t seem to understand. It is his way yes or yes.

I am younger than him and I understand that life isn’t a videogame, there isn’t a restart button. Sometimes people need some time to talk about a problem they have with you and even then they don’t owe you an apology and even then if they accept your apology don’t expect the relationship/friendship to be exactly the same. But he things that life is truly a videogame and he can restart everything whenever he wants and that he can get away with everything without consequences.
