So one of my best friends has split with his girlfriend of 9 years a couple of weeks ago. I knew they'd been arguing for a long time so it wasn't as much of a shock as it could have been, but obviously it's hit him really hard.
He's totally gone into his shell and not talking to anyone. That's fair enough and I've gave him his space and texted to say I'm always here if he needs me. I'm just more worried I guess because he has depression and I don't want him to sink to as low as he's been before but at the same time I don't want to seem like I'm hassling him.
My DP is saying just leave him alone and he'll be in touch when he's ready. I don't know whether it's because he's a guy that's affecting my thoughts but if it was a female friend I go over with a box if their fave treats and just listen to them, but my DP thinks just leave it and don't get involved. He now is living with his parents and trying to juggle the break up, stressful job, 3 kids and all the other life stresses so is probably not the most convenient to take up his time given his location as well.
So I was thinking about sending his a box of treats to his work to cheer him up a bit. Good idea or not?
No other woman or anything if that matters, just one of those things that they've fallen out of love and are just like housemates...
