My former best friend and longtime housemate is a serial monogamist and cannot go a couple weeks without being in a long-term relationship, usually having no more than two to three weeks in between very serious relationships.
He will occasionally call me and say he misses me and wants to grab lunch. When we do that, it’s so one-sided; he vents about his terrible relationship du jour, and then the check comes, and I haven’t said a word. Sometimes it takes a trusted friend to wake us up to unhealthy patterns of behavior. So don’t be afraid to have a heart-to-heart with him about it. You could even interrupt his monologue at your next lunch and tell him, “I’ve noticed this pattern. Have you noticed it, too? Are you worried about it?”
I fear I will never see the City Mouse again because of impending health issues.
