Ok..this has been bugging me for a couple of weeks and I can't talk to anyone about this.
So a long time friend from work (14 years) and I have been staying in touch since he left the company. We never really hung out before and so over the last few months we make plans to hang out. A couple of weeks ago he texts me and saying his girlfriend will be out of town and he has some free time and we should get together...have dinner...catch up. I replied that would be great I have so much to tell you. Let me know what I can bring over (rumor has it that he is in recovery) so I didn't want to bring the usual 30 rack over.
So last week he texted me over a hundred times in 3 hours for me to come over. Sent dirty pics and all.
I am shocked and mostly deeply hurt. This was someone who I considered a good friend. I never ever saw that coming and I just didn't answer his texts. I was sleeping anyway and he knows my work schedule.
So the job he walked away from, I happened to be working there that week. His girlfriend works there too. Was this an attempt to sabotage the place even more?
So then he texts me the next day to apologize and that he had been sitting around drinking and was bored. I replied back that he needs to get some help. (Rumor has it that he is on drugs too and no one really knows what he went to rehab for)
A day or two later, he texts me again (only 5 times this time) saying that this is the last night his girlfriend will be away and to come over.
I know I said this already but I am really hurt. He was one of my only friends. Now I question can men and women be just friends. Every guy friend that I had over the years turned out to be waiting for me to break up with my boyfriend at the time. Now I am broken up with my kids dad...and this happens. Am I sending the wrong signals? I mean I was really happy to go hang out with him...I don't hang out with anyone. So was my happiness misinterpreted?
A part of it is too...is it the drugs/alcohol talking? Maybe he is just crying out for help. I don't want to turn my back on him if that is the case.
