I Rejected My Best Friend, and Our Friendship Has Never Been the Same

I met Kunmi at my first job in 2019, and our shared love of anime grew into a close friendship. He became the person I trusted with my career worries, relationships and everyday life. In May 2025, he told me he wanted us to be more than friends. I cared about him deeply, but I did not feel the same way and was still recovering from a previous relationship. I told him honestly that I wanted us to remain friends. He said he understood, but our closeness gradually faded. We are still cordial, yet we no longer talk like best friends. I understand that he may need space to move on, but I wish he would be honest about whether our friendship can survive.
