I have known him for about 16 years but we seem to go through these cycles of being friends and chatting and then him blocking me out of the blue. No arguments coming before or anything. Our friendship hasn't always been platonic - we slept together a few times about 8 years ago. But he lives in London which is 2.5 hours away from me so I can't be in a relationship with him unless he moves, and I told him this. I can't move because I have children settled in my area (he doesn't have any)
The sudden cutting me off is hurtful because we seem to be getting on great and then he suddenly does it. When I later ask him why, he comes up with what sounds like a bunch of excuses. He does have a lot of issues including bulimia.
I'm autistic and I struggle to understand what's going on a lot of the time in relationships. One of my female friends said to me that she thinks he sounds a bit narcissistic.
Has anyone else had this sort of situation?
