Nothing feels better than having someone you thought was a friend decide to start ignoring you, right when you need them most. You want to give them the benefit of the doubt as to why they’ve stopped responding to your texts. “He’s taking a break from drinking and smoking, he’s probably taking a break from his cell phone and PC too.”
Except the truth turns out to be much more personal and pedestrian. You were played, they got what the wanted out of you, and they’ve given up the game and gone home.
or I could just be an impatient moron.
