I am baffled.

I texted my friend asking him what was going on. He would say he wanted to take me out to dinner, and not do it. I would have gone to see him if he wanted to take me out and told me he did. I felt like he was not clear about what kind of relationship we were going to have.

Yes, I got jealous of his girlfriend even though we are not in a romantic relationship. I would call it a close friendship that is kind of weird since I knew him before I met my husband. He does meet some of my emotional needs though. He admits that. I've helped him with his work and that makes me feel useful. I am not using my legal education otherwise, which feels like a waste.

But I think I pissed him off since I asked him what was going on. Basically he doesn't have anyone to talk to where he can just rant about whatever he's done all day or blow off steam, but me, and talk about law. He lives alone in his own house. I let him rant and agree with what he says. He has some hot buttons that he rants about but are not directed at me. He would tell me what to do when I saw him in person, but it was things like telling me to eat right and get some exercise. It wasn't anything that I would disagree with.
