Glad to hear everything is cool. Not everyone "bounces back" after friends who don't want to be romantic cross certain lines.
I had a friend when I was younger that I was super tight with, and was friends of the family. We sexually messed around a little from time to time, then a little more, and after a few months just stopped with nothing more said about it.
We slowly drifted apart, him having relationship troubles and getting into a pretty bad way: losing jobs, domestic issues, excessive drink, on an overall downward spiral. One night we ran into each other and, having already tied one on pretty hard, he pleaded with me to never tell anyone what we did years earlier, asking over and over if I had because "I'm not gay, I swear it!". It never occurred to me that it was something he was so stressed over; the alcohol allowed it to be verbalized, for the first & last time.
A few years later he died of a heart attack, only in his mid forties, and I can't help but think that the pressure he put on himself over our earlier "fucking around", and undoubtedly many other issues, played a large part in his descent.
