His Response

Same here.
Wife and I argue too much. It's not pleasing.

Hmm. My response back, Same. Same what? Same that you miss me- your friend. Same that you are unhappy? Same that you've been in a sad mood and can't get out? Same that you are maybe the messed up one? Same that you are struggling? Same that you've lost your happiness? Same that your dreams are gray? Same how?

-Oh how I love to push the envelope with him, so I can try to elicit the response I want out of him. Usually, I don't get it. But if I'm lucky, every now and then I do. And that makes me oh so happy.
It's weird how just talking with him a little bit, boosts my mood. Things just seem a tiny bit easier. I wish I could still confide in him.
Why stay away if either of us aren't happy? What's the point? I wish he'd give me a good reason.
