He was. I mean he did cut me off with no explanation for 3 months. I mentioned that, as he was acting like nothing had changed. I said: "You haven't talked to me in 3 months, you came here and didn't talk to me, why do you want to talk now?" That made him made and he just said "Whatever...

I'm sitting here a little dumbfounded tonight because my ex-friend pinged me on FB. I did respond, although I tried to keep my responses minimal. I wanted to see what was up, figuring he wants something. He didn't seem to want anything in particular, he just asked how I was doing and flirted...

This happened to me with my ex-friend. One day, he just acted like a jerk then cut off contact with no explanation, and that was following a period of rather intense contact when I stayed at his home for a week. That was over 2 months ago. I'll admit it was hard at first, but I've come to...

I'm sorry that you're going through this. It sounds to me like he may need more professional help with the PTSD than he's getting, and perhaps has other issues too (depression etc). My ex-friend with PTSD used to say the same things "I don't care about anyone but myself", and "I can't feel...

Wow. No, that is absolutely not creepy and weird, and what a jerky thing for him to say! I don't think you owe him any apologies, from what you've said here. Don't say you're sorry and beg for forgiveness when you haven't done anything wrong, that just devalues you and shows a lack of...

Today was better. I was less stressed and he didn't come near my area until the very end of the day. I'm feeling pretty good now, like, I got this! Also more sure than ever that he is not worth my time.

Yeah, he's "special". I've come to realize that he's a narcissist. He was probably that way before the PTSD hit. Maybe it made things worse, but I'm betting that he had narcissistic tendencies beforehand.

...and as expected, it's not been a lot of fun for me. Today was day 1, and it was super weird and awkward, at least for me. He walked over to my team's area a few times, said hi to everyone but me, and we pretty much ignored each other. I didn't even look at him directly, because I didn't...

Welcome to the forum! I'm so sorry this happened to you. Is he getting any treatment for his PTSD? If not then he may not be capable of a close, healthy relationship of any sort. He parties with his friends because those relationships are likely more casual and so they don't stress him out...

Good morning! :)

@Peach - I will be sure to update next week! I, too, hope there won't be a lot to say. @Sweetpea76 - I know, right?! You'd think it would stress him out. There doesn't seem to be a purpose, or if there is he hasn't told anyone. No one invited him here and he isn't needed for work, he just...

It's almost here...he'll be in the office Monday. I'm getting more and more stressed. Probably no one is watching this thread anymore, but I had to get this out. M told me today that he will be sitting about 4 rows down from me, I'll be between him and M, and I'm right on the aisle, meaning...

Ugh, mansplaining is the WORST. I'm a woman in tech and I get that a lot. It's condescending and disrespectful (even if they don't always realize they are doing it). Yes, I think he does owe you an apology if he says mean things and hurts your feelings. Or at the very least, an...

Speaking as someone who's also been blocked by a sufferer...it's most definitely not you! You sound like you have your head on straight and are handling things really well. I wish you the best, lots of hugs to you!

I would have thought that, but it was from a friend of mine whom I trust. He told her directly. They aren't really friends, but he used to have a crush on her, she mostly avoids talking to him but she said she questioned him since he mentioned applying for the job she knows I want. Idk why he...
