Watching him put his old friend on a pedestal like some inhuman superhero just makes me feel even more disappointed. She may be physically insanely strong, but can he say with confidence that she's mentally that strong too? Clearly she's mentally breaking down from the stress of searching for him continuously and he's just happily messing around with his newfound waifu.
No, I have not forgiven his betrayal of his childhood friend. He's not as bad as the scum who betrayed him and left him to die, but he's also tainted in my books. Not until they meet again and he makes up for leaving her behind without a single effort spared to at least tell her he's alive and well.
Sorry Eldora, he's strong but I wouldn't say he's kind.
