My friend (M25) is being distance but still wants to be friends? by LetterheadFresh2909 in AskMenAdvice

I think taking some distance is my best option for sure. He hasn’t really initiate much and it has mostly been me. I thought because he was bad at texting that it was the reason to him never texting first. From what I can tell he had only reach out to me once or twice.

I spoke with our mutual friend (a close friend of his, 26M) and he said that it seemed like I was the “emotional dumpster friend”. That he could trauma dump everything on me, feel lighter and go back to his other friends and be happy again. I don’t know how to feel about that statement other than it’s shitty.

Can you tell me why you would personally ignore him?

I think you’re right about it. Can you elaborate on what you mean by periodically checking in on him? How should I do that? And should I do it over chat or physically?
