Why didn't you just let the friendship drift? Why did you have to have an official cut off? When I have had people I have wanted out of my life this is what I do, even if they have angered me much more than just not being attentive enough.
I have friends that live in other countries who I would have to say I a very shoddy with keeping in touch with. However if they turned up on my doorstep tomorrow for whatever reason needing money/help/ a place to stay, I would be there for them. I just don't feel the need to know their every minute of their lives. I don't even know what jobs or relationships they may have.
I know that they would be there for me if I needed them as well. It's just that kind of relationship.
And sometimes you do meet people and you realise there is no friendship spark anymore. You have become two very different people. But I think that's OK. I wouldn't pull them up on it!
How do you even know what was going on in his life? Perhaps he didn't want to tell you as he was fed up of talking about it with people, but it left him busy and without anything good to say.
Personally I think you overreacted a little but perhaps I'm missing something?
Perhaps next time you should just contribute to the friendship as much as the other person, if this means never calling/talking/meeting then fine that's just how it is.
No need to go burning bridges.
That's just my random opinion.
