@op was there any gap in the friendship probably caused as a result of distance or some other factor. truth be told friendship is not by force. I'm saying this because once i was in the company of a friend and her cousin, they were both complaining about a popular nollywood actress, about how she has forgotten her roots now she is famous. They said the 3 of them grew up together in their neighbourhood. fast forward to when this actress started featuring in movies, these same people who had drifted apart were able to trace the actresses number and give her a call. she spoke to them politely on the phone but she never called them back. I told them that if I was in her shoes I would have done the same thing too, because all of a sudden she is now famous u begin to recall childhood memories. Summary of what I am saying is, you may never know the reason for his behaviour until you've walked in his shoes. Personally if I were the one I would have asked him, straight up no beating about the bush, you may be surprised at his answer. 2 Likes |

He has grown up. Has different interests now. He probably thinks of you guys every now and then but things are much different now. If you say he is wealthy then he is also probably extremely busy. I don't think it is a pride thing at all. 1 Like |
