To add to what everyone else has said, contrary to what you believe you are NOT a jerk.<br /><br />A jerk would be the person who wouldn't ever reflect back on it. They wouldn't think about reaching out in any way, shape or form. They would just simply say "sucks to be him".<br /><br />That was not you.

My friend's wife had been battling cancer for nearly three years and this year her health started declining quickly. I wasn't a very good friend to him or to her in the years they've been together--especially after they got married.
