So do you feel guilty for not going back to a psychologically toxic relationship where no one is happy?
Friendship is about growth, not codependence.
If he is not happy, it is not your fault or your problem. If he is not happy without you, he will not be happy with you.
If he needs friends, he should go out and make new ones. You are not the only person on Earth.
