writes:This will sound a little silly coming from an adult but... one of my friends is being a little strange and I just don't know why. We have been friends for three years now and have become pretty close in that time. We are both married, so the usual male/female complication has never been an issue. We live about an hour apart, so we usually communicate by email, although we meet regularly at the half-way point between the two of us. For the first couple of years, we pretty much wrote to each other daily, but in the last year it has been closer to three/four times a week ('busy' times aside, when it is usually twice a week); in a nut shell, we are close friends and do not usually have periods of silence. The last few weeks, however, things have been a little different. For starters, he has hardly written at all, which is totally out of character... and when he has it has only been to arrange to meet, which has been far more frequent than usual. Now he is ignoring me completely. I heard from him briefly at the beginning of last week, but nothing since. This is even weirder given that he promised to firstly send me something he is writing to look over and secondly, to tell me about something that, last time we spoke, he was looking forward to. I can't think of anything I have done... everything seemed fine when we last met. If anything, he was been more attentive than usual... I feel a little silly as a week is hardly a long time, but last week he said I would hear from him 'that evening' and I haven't heard from him at all... it is unusual for the two of us to be silent for so long... even if it is just a couple of lines, there is usually *something*. I was a little moody last time we met... but that couldn't be it, could it? He has supported me through far worse states and, if anything, they have made us closer. I don't get this at all.
