Oh well....
As a business owner for almost 23 years, it's very easy to get in over your head and not be able to see it because you are so heavily involved and don't have the luxury of standing back and seeing it from a different perspective. It's the classic "can't see the forest thru the trees" scenario. When business pressures hit, they have a way of instantly overshadowing almost all things in life. Been there, done that personally. If you value his friendship, then give him a couple of weeks, and then try to reestablish contact, try to keep the door open, even if it's just a crack....show him what a true friend you are..I can promise you he will appreciate it...but it make take some time..it sounds to me like he has the hellhounds on his trail right now...
