parasitic friendship?

  • Thread Starter

I met a guy last year and we started dating. He left me a few weeks later saying he still had feelings for his ex and wanted to try again with her. she rejected his advances for a year. In this time I remained friends with him, helped him through his depression, come to terms with losing her, I listened to all his therories on how it went wrong and helped him decide to move on. Spent endless hours comforting him and basically discussing his every big decision in life; he feels like he has to talk to me about everything... But when i have had hard times, he isn't there for me as i am for him, he'll listen for a bit, but joke about things or tell me he's not in a considerate talking mood/ vanish part way through our chatting.
He rarely sees me in person, but talks to me online and via text every day, and makes excuses when i offer to meet up/ bails at the last minute.
Then to top it all, after all the hours of going through why he and his ex didn't work, and getting him through it -he still chased her for the last few months and now she's showing interest again, so he's going to ask her out again.

I feel like i have wasted my time and emotion on someone who just was not worth it.

Should I try and phase myself out?
Anyone else had a friend like this? what did you do?
