I had to borrow thousands of dollars from a friend under the condition that I pay him back, but I'm never paying him back. How can I make my friend forget that I owe him money?

You should apologize to your friend for the inconvenience and explain that you simply won't be able to repay the money. Explain that it was an incredibly difficult time financially for you and you understand if he is frustrated, but ask if there's a way you can make it up to him. Make sure that you mean it when you apologize; make a genuine effort to make it right. A good friend will understand in the end, especially if you truly are apologetic. It is also possible to offer additional favors, like helping your friend out with something he needs done, if he can accept it. However, if there is too much negative energy between you, you may want to consider offering some form of compensation, like a gift or a donation to a cause he cares about. In the end, it is a delicate situation, and how the conversation and aftermath is handled could ultimately make or break the friendship.
