What is your perspective on this?

Adam goes through a messy separation and is supported by his friend, Emma. She has health problems so they mutually support each other almost daily, instigated mainly by Adam.
A few months on, Adam goes quiet and Emma is confused until she finds out he has a new girlfriend. She finds out via someone else. Emma eventually tells Adam she feels their relationship has changed and he is bewildered and asks why. They meet in person and Emma says she feels that Adam pulled away when before they were talking a lot. He is bewildered and apologises but Emma just goes quiet and cries. What would you think of them both?

The expectations that both had of the relationship is definitely flawed. A used the E as an emotional crutch and E created expectations in accordance to it.

What is strange however is that A wentt quiet - purposivly distancing himself from E. Either he was aware of E's emotions or attempted to dissuade his own.

Impossible to draw a conclusion without further information - the personalities of both parties are still too vague

@Jouskan47 A found a girlfriend that's why.

I do not mean 'strange' as in out of character - I mean that it may be an indicator of his personality. Hi motivation for choosing to cut contact can be further unpacked.

It may be a sign of guilt or shame. Perhaps even something else

@Jouskan47 Interesting perspective

@Jouskan47 probably a factor.
