In this case, G has an issue where he spends 100% of his time worrying about one person, and expects that person to do the same with him. He'd call me during every single free chance he got, wake up an hour early and go to bed an hour late, skip lunch if he could manage to sneak away, because talking to me is his other drug of choice.
I've come to the conclusion that he's addicted to alcohol, spending, and being in a "close" (in his mind) relationship with one person of his choice who he takes all over the place without listening to the sorts of things they want to do and buys things for without listening to the sorts of things they'd really like.
He thinks that what he wants should be what everyone wants, and that those who disagree with him are either morons, or just haven't "seen the light" and he has to show them what they're missing.
