I got another text. He says he’s a failure. Sounding totally cheesy I said that this could be a turning point...a new chapter in his life, but only he could write it. I haven’t heard back. I tried to respond in a way that showed I cared or at least didn’t think he was a failure, but that I wasn’t going to be there this time.
I went to a different gym today. I really liked it and it was nice to be in a new environment.
