      Ooooof. I reached out to a friendly acquaintance who'd been having a tough time with a Thing a few months ago, saying I was just thinking about him and was wondering how he was doing, and got back a "thanks. Don't hit me up."

      what does that even mean? Serious question? Does he think you're trying to scam him? Hit on him? What?

      I have zero idea, I wondered the same thing. His phrasing did almost make it seem like, you know, I texted "hey u up?" at 2 am.

      I had a very good friend of 25 years who stopped returning my phone calls and emails ~4 years ago, with zero explanation. About once a year I get an email from her address, get excited... and every time it's a virus or bot . People are inscrutable.

      Ooof, I'm so sorry about that, too. A much older friendship than the one here, and that's rough. You'd think people would try to scrute at least a little bit.

      Yeah, I didn't worry that it was me. In this one particular case, she and I had dated, briefly, freshman yr of college (1988), she dumped me, and then went on to get married and divorced twice. Last we hung out, ~5 yrs ago, she visited the farm, met my wife >>>

      and said in a very odd tone of voice "I'm so happy for you!", as if there was some deep sadness beneath. One possible story I've told myself is that while she never wanted to get back w me, she had my former interest in her back pocket as some sort of yard stick, and >>>

      perhaps, at age 45 or so, she looked around at her own life of 3 masters degrees and yet her career was walking peoples dogs, two divorces, no net worth, living in a small place ... and I'm recently married, decently well off financially, and living on a 56 acre farm ...

      there was some weird conflicted emotion off in the space of jealousy / regret / sadness at no longer being able to look down on someone? Not really sure, but something in that space feels plausible.

          I'm sorry about your 2016 friends, what a thing to do it over :/. I suspect there's something a little similar here--I'm reaching out, and contacting people who have some 2020 stressor they're not really handling, and yeah.

          That surely does sound plausible, at least, and something like that's a classic story for a reason. I'd not mind all my exes wistfully thinking "maybe the Kendric route would have been good", but man I'd also like them to think "but I dig the choices I made too" :/

          only met her the once (or maybe twice) but she didn't seem like the type to look down on you - certainly seems possible to me that unmarried travis was a lot more interesting as a possible fall-back than married travis, though.

          yeah, the "look down on" was ill phrased. I'm grasping here. "Feel a certain kind of social parity because while I do well on criteria X vs her, she does well on criteria Y vs me", perhaps? Hard to explain, because fuzzy concept in my head.
