I have a male friend at work. We work in quite a stressful environment, and it's good to have a friend to have a drink with/joke with/let off steam with. We get on well, but have never been anything but friends.
He is a very private person and TBH, I don't know that much about him, so whilst he is one of my best "work mates" I probably wouldn't class him as a close friend generally.
However, he did recently confide in me re some fairly serious health issues. (very unusual for him to discuss his health, so in a way I was very honoured) He has been on hols for last 2 weeks, but gets some test results next week. I will be on hols (off work, but not away), so won't be there to ask how it went.
I was thinking of leaving him a message to say I hope all's well, but feel free to phone me if he wants to talk.
I work P-T, so he has occasionally had to call me at home re work, but we have never had a social telephone conversation. Do you think I should? I know he has been very worried and for him it was a really big deal that he confided in me, but I don't want too seem too interested (nosy?)
Have name changed as I'm a bit embarrassed to be asking TBH.
