I know he was a friend before we were together and I hope you will remain friends with him whether we are together or not. Our relationship should have no baring on your friendship with him.
As for his reason for not being at Lily's funeral, you will have to ask him. The housewarming on the other hand was my fault; I should have said something earlier about our separation. Since we are taking time apart, he did not feel welcomed there and I should have told you. I'm sorry. Please do not be angry with Bryn; it really was my fault.
