IN: I was never his best friend . I was never his number one , even though he was mine for the majority of my growing - up years . I felt like the backup friend ; the one he hung out with in public only when no one else was available . I know part of it is just exaggerated in my own mind by hurt , that he never meant for me to feel that way , and that I should never have relied on him that much in the first place . But when he left for college I might as well have not even known him .
Why does the narrator no longer know their friend after they left for college ?

OUT: Their friend never sees him

IN: There were so many reasons why , but the thing about it is , I have bills . I have a mortgage to pay . I was the only one working in my family . There were no good alternatives available , and I had to make a snap decision .
What is true of the narrator 's life ?

OUT: They have extra responsibility .

IN: To make the long story short - I was with my ex for 3 years until he dumped for another chick ( lied to me about the entire thing for 2 months ) . And 2 months into their relationship , he gets her PREGNANT ( unplanned ) . He completely blocked me on everything via internet , and I have n't had any contact with him in 8 months ... UNTIL YESTERDAY . He sent me a message on facebook saying , " Hey - not sure if you still completely hate my guts and I totally understand if you do n't respond to me but I just wanted to see how you were doing .
What may br the reason for my exes post to me ?

OUT:
He wants to hook back up .
