Nope, he makes it about himself, and not about you or you and him. He didn't even ask how your days are. So, Im thinking... you are not his therapist and it's not right for him to ask you to worry about him. Maybe send him an update similar to one you'd like to hear from him. DO NOT be sad for him. Be strong for him and for yourself.
Thanks @ann bog!

Thanks so much for your supportive thoughts.

He's throwing a pity party, and the way I view it is just more manipulation from him. He's trying to get me to feel sorry for him. And you're right - I'm not his therapist.

I decided not to reply at all to that text. I don't have anything left within me to share with him. I don't want to share with him how I'm doing - he didn't even ask, nor does he even care.

Good news is my Christmas tree arrived! I now have some cheer in my home on this holiday.
