I would try calling your friend.
Seems like he got pissy for no reason, considering the delayed response. Or, you could be reading intent in his actions that isn't there. A lot of things can be lost in email translation.

Personal phone call, take him out to coffee... either way, email is a bad way to solve problems. Is he more than a friend?

If he won't be man enough to call you, then you do it. At least you could put the issue at rest, even if his response is less than wonderful. Someone has to be the responsible one, and it looks like your it! Real grown men don't make other people feel down when they express a vulnerability. The attraction to the type of man (or woman even) that would do this to you is something I would explore with your T, considering that it seems to keep happening to you.

Call him and then let us know how he responded.
