Thanks Heather for the insight... a lot of great things to ponder.
I'm letting go, not specifically of him and I again mostly because a part of me wants to 'be on my best behavior' and see where this all goes and also because I do have a bit of hope, he feels like he's a deep rooted part my my life story (past lives included). --shortened-- I'm not looking for answers or even solid advice here just using it as a sounding board to understand the other side of things (a little) and to learn for myself. I'm definitely focused more on me though and it's good and there has been a perceptible shift to us both.
I know he is conflicted and don't doubt for a second what Heather said about him feeling both ways equally. He is struggling and unfortunately the only person he is going to for advice these days is his poisonous friend. As for friending her - it's not at all malicious - she is a big part of his life, I'd like to understand why and should have sooner. I am not counting on it for any change to the situation I'm just trying to be a better person and live outside my comfort zone.
