Should i rekindle this friendship?

Last year, my bestfriend of 8 years and i got into this stupid fight. He claimed I have changed and was trying to leave him in the cold and things like that which was entirely not true. I pretty much always gave him attention because he was my BEST FRIEND. But this one night when I didn't invite him out with me and a new friend I had made, he got pissy. Then his boyfriend got into the situation and started attacking me on social media (I have never met nor talked to his boyfriend before). Long story short, I emailed him a nice well thought out email saying that i was sorry for whatever I felt sorry for, and he emailed me back saying that he planned to move out with his boyfriend and forget about me and that from that day on we were now "acquaintances". Personally. I believe that his boyfriend put him up to that. because I didn't like his boyfriend very much, he started getting in his ear telling him to do things, and i believe cutting ties with me was one of them. My ex friend was pretty insecure about himself, and the first guy that showed interest in him, he kinda jumped on him and didn't want anything to ruin it. I think it was because he felt he couldn't find anyone better. But anyway...

Well, recently, one of my friends saw my ex friend on a dating website saying he was single basically. So i am assuming that he broke up with his boyfriend (it was an online relationship).

Lately, I have been wondering if I should try to rekindle our friendship somehow? I still know where he lives. i do not have his number anymore. But the last thing I want to do is show up at his front door. I remember him blocking me from facebook...and I have no clue what his facebook is anymore. So messaging him is out of the question.

What should I do? Should I even bother? Sometimes I kind of miss him but it's been a year and I have changed a lot and he probably has too. Idk. I do have his email though, but who knows if he even checks it. Should I email him anyway?

I think you should try to rekindle the friendship you two had because it seem like you were very close and what's the worst thing that could happen, i mean he's already blocked you and you have no way to contact him, I don't mean to sound rude but seriously. If you were friend for 8 years and he won't even listen to you then at least you can say that you tried. I know two people who were best friends they were like joined at the hip and suddenly they hated each other they didn't talk to each other for over a year now their best friends again. It was like that year or so never happened so at least try.

A friend of 8 years is a long time and very valuable (in my opinion).
You could at least try to rekindle the friendship, but he does sound like a misunderstanding person. He sounds like he came up with assumptions, which is not good.
Try explaining things to him if you can and want. Things will possibly turn out better for the both you. But do what you think might be right.
