Search Results: no response to text

So I'm trying to help a friend - who is having some serious issues (lost job, etc.) - but I'm also getting tired of their behavior. They will text me something, such as asking how I am, and when I respond they don't respond. When I ask how they are, they don't respond.

This is someone who has asked me for finanical help & potential help with housing - things I can help with due to my career & professional connections - but in many ways it feels our "relation" is one-sided more than anything.

And I'm getting tired of putting in effort to half assed to even no response. Particularly when this isn't the first time this person has acted like this (poor communication, etc.).

So yesterday he was telling me that he had to work late. Doesn't make any sense because he had no reason to work late to my knowledge and I know his schedule pretty well. There's only certain times that he has to work late and from what he communicated yesterday it sounded like a usual work day.

Come the morning he's very standoffish response more as if we are friends rather than people that were dating each other or thinking of dating each other seriously and his communication is s***** in comparison to usual. Like it's not as engaging or anything.

Like by all assumptions you could say that he's been cheating. But as he's such a poor communicator - like it's not often he initiates text - it's hard to say and I really don't know if I should reach out or just sit and see what he does
