If a close friend really had a heart attack, I could see it playing out this way. What was your affect on the phone? He may have been up in the air about smoothing things over before the call but didn't get a good vibe. Remember that if it was real he's balancing a crisis in an existing long term relationship with a speed bump in a potential relationship. Your mutual friend probably has a clue about what is happening. Griff is not a trained relationship counselor and has successfully maintained just one long term love relationship. YMMV

Eh, I'm pretty low key like that. My first txt message was just of the flirty type, and even my phone messages were really of the "just let me know you got home safely" type. There was no attitude or pissed-offedness on my behalf...still isnt really. I havent done anything but be my usual self and offered to be there if he needs to talk.


Spexx - he was married, been separated for about 8-9 months. We have spoken at alot of different hours, so if he IS still married...he's done well to keep it hidden.


Thanks guys, I am inclined to cut him a bit of slack and see what washes up, but being a control freak...I hate lose ends plus I am getting pressure from my girlfriends to "fuck him off" and "dont let him treat me like shit".

aARRRRRRrraaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!!!

See that Brianna, Rock steady?
Girlfriends....support group....trouble!
DuckNuts has her shit together.... reasonable, rational, cautious...smart. This guy maybe a total dickhead, maybe not.... she's on top of it.
But the "girlfriends", the support group, are pressuring in the guise of being there for her. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Pant, pant, pant......Now, where was I...breath, breath, breath.
I find it odd, he couldn't get in touch with you soon after. LJ may be right, or the guy became an emotional basket case? Steve has a point about wearing contacts should make the guy prepare for eventualities. Were I in that situation, I think I'd ask you to come with me, but that's me.

Maybe he always had the hots for the wife of the heart attackee?
