Why is my male best friend not responding to anyone’s texts during his divorce?

[Anonymous]

He has left people on read receipts over and over - both text and emails - even when they ask him random things not pertaining to his life. Will he eventually come back around?

He may be experiencing a major episode of depression and wanting to withdraw from the world. Is he going to his job every day? Have you asked his family how he is doing?

He is going to his job and thriving, and he is in therapy 1-2x a week. He has my number blocked and so I can't check in. My last email said I hope he is doing ok and I am here if he wants to talk down the line.

Maybe the marriage fell apart for a reason that reflects poorly on him, and he feels embarrassed to face his friends.

He's just depressed. It can effect your motivation.
