I met him about 8 1/2 years ago and he's been a significant person in my life ever since. We did date for about a year very early on but we broke up due to our age/immaturity. Throughout the entirety of our friendship, we pretty much always have had some kind of issue to work through. Early on, it wasn't dealt with in the healthiest of ways and that seems to always come back up somehow. Over the years, I've learned to let go of all that stuff but he constantly reads into things I say/do and thinks I'm doing things I'm not doing. I feel like the majority of that stems from himself because he struggles with depression and has major self-esteem related issues. He has a bit of a mean streak and freaks out whenever he perceives something that may threaten his ego or sense of security. I've tried severing ties with him once before and it was just a miserable experience and isn't something I'm itching to do again, but I don't want to stagnate my own personal growth (or his) or perpetuate an unhealthy friendship. At the same time, I can't not imagine him being in my life and not being in his. I care about him a lot and sort of feel responsible for his well-being to some degree, and I'd never want it to get to a point where we aren't in each others lives but I frequently question whether we should continue the friendship because it takes so much energy. Sometimes it seems like all attempts to fix things are futile because he's not in the healthiest frame of mind.

I've just recently gotten into Astrology and have read a lot of things on here about karma in relationships and whatnot. It makes me wonder if we have some kind of unresolved karma and that's playing a role in what goes on with us. I wasn't sure which asteroids to add but hopefully someone can help out a bit!

I'm on the inside.
