Should I unblock to check on old friend?

I am/was friends with a friend of my EX, known him since my twenties, now im 56. Over the years we are mainly friends on social media, and we have friendly catch ups about our lives, holidays and families etc.

Anyway I woke up yesterday morning to see 1 missed audio call and 1 missed video call from him plus a very odd voice message on facebook, of what sounded like a woman groaning. These calls etc came through at about 3am. I checked his FB page and his GF has put a very odd post up about selling fishing gear and giving our her mobile number. Its an incoherent post so I wondered if she was drunk, she has posted from his account but given her name.

Then I notice on my facebook I have a public message from him asking me if I want to F**ck sometime he would be up for it!

I have blocked him on FB and tried to forget it, but in the back of my head I am wondering if he is OK as this is so unlike him, he is respectiful and polite and rarely drinks as his ex wife was an alcoholic which ended their relationship.

I dont know his mobile as apart from social media where we have chatted a lot on messages (mainly about our holidays as we like the same places) and the children who he met many times when he was friends with my EX as well. There is no romantic feelings between us, but I cant help think his gf has got the rage over something and gone through all his FB messages and read the wrong thing into our ones.

Should I unblock to check he is OK or move on and just assume it was a one off drunken night where he/she acted inappropriately.

It sounds like his drunk girlfriend hacked his account and sent you the message

I think I'd be tempted to ask him what on earth was going on, depends how comfortable you are with that. If it was him he'll have the king kong of hangovers today.

Thats what I thought, it seems very odd though, I read back through the conversation she would have seen and apart from ending the chat with a kiss its very boring chat with nothing to worry about. We were basically discussing Tenerife and places to stay.

Even odder from her own profile, she is a grandma of 9 and adores her DGC, seems very normal but I suppose everyone can get drunk, especially in these stressfull times. The public post really was awful though, my DC are friends with me on FB as are my colleagues and other family members, I just hope they know its not connected to me.

Sadly I feel that if its a jealous GF who read too much into a friendship then the result is, I have now blocked him and he will lose many other female friends if she is working her way though his friend list and doing the same thing.
