That timeline works for me!

I think Foggy's end of their weird pseudo relationship went something like this: Initially he just gets caught up in the childish excitement of it being a secret and it's fun. He always felt attracted to Dean so victory right? Then the confusion and frustration starts to settle in. He starts to wonder if this relationship is on the path to love or if they're just a couple of horny confused pals. He already keeps secrets for Dean, he doesn't want to ruin the idealized image Nattie has of him for example, but he realizes he doesn't like the idea of being with someone he can't even go out with, if he can even rightly say that they're "together." Between Dean needing money and a job, his lack of a clear goal or direction, his addiction, and him not even being out of the closet, he's just plain not boyfriend material the way he is. As much as Foggy finds that he likes several qualities that Dean possesses in a partner, he concludes that they're better off as friends WITHOUT benefits. So Foggy returns to the dating scene and (I'm guessing?) things smooth out between him and Dean by the time Dean goes into the military. Regardless of the past Dean can count on Foggy to have his back and you can bet he'll be routing for him to find the right person at the right time. He will SO have a word with the girl or guy that hurts him!

that sounds exactly like what I was thinking for the ultimate for their failed romantic venture. as for their friendship, dean’s a pretty easy-going guy, and I doubt that he would hold any kind of grudge towards foggy, and in fact counts him as one of those pivotal people/moments in his life because of the part that he played in helping him to clean his act and give up on at least one of his addictions. ~~the bottle is a vice he hasn’t been able to give up on, but for most part, he knows when too much is too much. usually.~~ he would still consider and treat foggy like a close friend, the kind that you can’t do without, and he wouldn’t linger on any of the baggage that might have come from their past “relationship,” had they been different people.

Sounds good to me! Foggy definitely sees Dean in a similar way as someone who made a difference in his life since he learned a lot from their confusing experience. There are no hard feelings. Dean might still have his troubles but Foggy wouldn't hesitate to tell others that he's one of his best friends.
One last question: Did they ever tell Nattie about their little fling or Dean's other problems?
Gotta say I really like this backstory. I look forward to their interactions in the game!
