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.

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.

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.

yeah, something more like that, closer to the opposite of "look down on", maybe - like "i'm standing still/moving backward, being around this person who is doing well would make me feel bad about myself, and i can't afford that (emotionally speaking)", so: autosend to VM.
