hmmmmm. so i bumped into an old bf on signal. [View all]

he was in a ltr w a hard woman to love. love her he did, but we were a regular thing for the better part of tfg's term, and he loved me, too.
tfg being the thing i'm interested in. we meet in oct '15 when this whole nightmare was a joke. he was one who took the-occupy, bernie, dump- route. we could talk issues and never disagree. it ended in jan '20, nothing to do w politics. it got pretty hot.

i hear from mutual friends he's gone full q. they've all disowned him. he was a hard core catholic when we met, but his priest kept nagging him about livong in sin. he bit hard on the pedo thing, tho, which makes me go hmmmm.
well, i saw him and i poked him w-you still in business? (weed) you still hate me?
he- hate you, no. fear ya.
well, i sent a few more words and ended w- i take that as a no.

a week later, this a.m. i get- i'm thinkin about it.
we exchange a few words and end w- talk soon.

now, in the meantime, he married the lady. i've wondered if she's been able to keep him on the porch, but she prolly knows better than to try. i have to admit i miss him. miss him as a friend.
i feel like it's my civic duty to shine my torch down his well and see if he's ready to come out.
i've been pretty eagerly reading the stories about people who saw the light. we were close and he both trusted and respected me.

what would you do?
