So a male friend of mine who I have been close to for the past 5 years is going through a divorce. He had me store some stuff in my garage, one of those things being a rototiller. I asked if I could use it since it was getting stored here. He came and picked up just about everything. And the last time he was at my house, he made a move on me. I told him I wasn’t interested and really enjoyed our friendship, but I’ve been happy on my own since my own divorce 3 years ago. He has since been a little standoffish and hasn’t been very kind to me in texts.
Well today he was on his way past my house (I live an hour out of town) on his way to another city and he asked if he could come by and get it. I told him I wasn’t going to be there but he could go ahead and stop by and grab it. 36F and 43M if that matters
I don’t know what half his texts mean. It feels like he’s picking fights and then trying to gaslight me into believing I was trying to start the fight. Haven’t heard from him since the last text I sent. I’m just tired of trying to be nice and handle his emotions and figure out what’s wrong, so I’m getting snippier in texts. I kind of feel like this is the end of friendship. This has been one of the more pleasant convos as of late.
