My problem is that me and my ex were best friends for years, and even after the break up remained friends, now he doesn't talk to me at all. The part that bothers me is that while me and him were dating, I stuck with him while he was working on getting his medical licensing in Michigan, He had NO money as he had quit his job before going to get his license. His father would send money every month, and I supported him through the tough times when we had no food, and nothing to call our own. After about 7 months of receiving checks from his father monthly, he finally got his license, and started his own practice at his cousins clinic. He started to bring in more money then we knew what to do with. In February of last year I broke it off with him due to our differences. Now, he wont talk to me, and I feel like he has forgotten that I was the only person that stuck around when he didn't have any money at all, and I was the only one who wasn't after his money obviously. He's now dating a woman, and I'm happy for him, I just want my best friend back. I've tried calling a few times, but his current girlfriend has been rude to me, and said that I was harassing him. Also, his girlfriend now makes me angry because I know that if he wasn't making money like he does that she wouldn't have even looked at him, much less dated him, his friends are the same way...not one phone call from any friends to see how he was doing when he wasn't making money, and then he starts making money, and everyone wants to be his friend again. I don't want anyone to hurt him, I still consider him my best friend. Any advice?

DO NOT go back to him at all. When friends date, this is always something that can happen. When it does, it hurts. Sadly, you're the one hurting. Leave him in the past where he belongs. He left you, after all. Going back could end up with you getting very hurt. He was your friend, but he has clearly moved on. You need to move on too.
