I know - I've always over-analyzed the relationship. I don't NEED him; I just enjoyed talking with him - we find similar things funny. Part of it was the mystery of why so many people can't stand him. Maybe this is the first peek he's given me of the side they can't stand. I'll be fine, don't worry. I guess I just want tidy closure of an answer that's logical, and I think it is that he needs to move on ... and also he really is disgusted by certain political views, and his rigid views are going to cause a lot of isolation for him. And that's why I could never help him socially; he doesn't want to change.
Is it normal for a friend to dump you because your politics changed?
