I sent him a txt hoping he is doing ok and that I'm not going anywhere, etc. He replied a short while later thanking me and apologizing for disappearing as he is in a rut, having a hard time with everything.

I replied saying that I understand and if he wants an ear or a hug or just company that I'm here....no reply. He came out of his hole for a moment and gone again.

My friends all think I should ditch him, but we have such a connection and I understand what hes going through, I want to stand by him...even though he is hiding. Am I crazy?
