After this last trip, he refused to return my calls or texts.

Finally, he texted me and said, "I am having a hard time getting over this last trip. I wanted to call you, but I knew I would be too emotional to discuss it. I'm sure you don't remember what you did, but I can't forget."

Amy, I was dumbfounded! I immediately texted him, apologizing for whatever it was, asking him to please let me know what I did to upset him.

I did this numerous times with no response, until he texted back: "Soon, I'll let you know.”

At this point I want to text him and say, “You are a lucky, lucky man to have so many close friends that you can afford to toss one away with no explanation.” What do I do?
