How would you guys interpret this? I had sent a brief, non-emotional apology text after something I criticized him about that I shouldn't have. This is from my best friend:

**My name,**

**I appreciate this, although, your apology doesn’t change anything. We could attempt to discuss this, but the action is already done and cannot be unchanged. I can move forward from this occurrence, but I want space and don’t want to talk. As mentioned, I would respect some space and would like that. This conversation is closed and would kindly ask for no response. I wish you well this semester and to remain focused.**

I keep ruminating the friendship is over after our argument, but he told me twice during argument it wasn't and sent me this after I apologized five days later. What does this mean? I cannot rationalize. However, I trust him and when he said he can move foreword and needs space shows me he will forgive, but just doesn't want to be bothered. I just don't know how long it will be? Does semester mean the entire semester or is he just saying that because it starts tomorrow? Rationally, it would probably just be a few weeks. Idk.

He knows I have BPD and I think this is clearly-cut boundaries. I don't need to text him because if I do, I feel like I am doing the push-pull stuff that will push him off.

We are best friends so it hurts. But its rare to have a friend be so straight up with you. I want to keep my BPD in check and defeat my illness.

What do you guys think?

I think we will return to being close friends again, as long as I respect his wishes. Validation.
