When you ask someone how they are, do you really want an honest answer?

Also, how are you? Don’t hold back.

Yeah. I have an online friend from about ten years ago. After years of not really talking she suddenly started messaging me again, When I ask how she is I get everything's ok. It feels like something has changed but I can't quiet work out what.

What really pisses me though is a friend who wants to know every little detail of my life but then tries to keep me in the dark about their life. Never again. If you want that kind of friendship it's a two way street and I'm not gonna dig and pry to figure out how you really are.

Today I'm good. I went to visit a friend and finish up a project we started months ago. Her husband is in rehab and she wanted to have everything done when he got home. I didn't realize things had gotten that bad with him, but last week I thought I was messaging him and it turned out she had his phone. I only learned he was in rehab when she called from his phone.

@robb65 That would feel off. I hope that your friend is really doing well and there’s nothing to be concerned about. Hopefully she knows that she can open up to you if she feels she needs to.

Oh yeah. I don’t think I’ve ever experience anything like that but sounds really strange. It can get weird when people ask too many questions.

Oh wow! That’s must have been a real shock. I hope that his recovery goes well and that she is able to get everything done that she plans to. It’s wonderful that you can be there to help her!

@WanderingThrough Apparently in just the last few weeks he had skipped work a couple of days and spent the day drinking. His wife didn't know until he came home with a jug of vodka and walked right past her, and passed out on the couch. By the time he came around she already had him an appointment with a rehab center and had called the company where he worked to let them know he would be MIA for a few weeks. I hope it works out. She seems to think he knew it was time to get sober.
