What is he thinking?
2 comments so farI recently moved back to the town I went to college in and got in touch with an old professor. I hadn’t spoken to him in 6 years and we ended up on the same email list and started emailing each other. We are both married and have kids. It seemed that we were getting along really well (never met up or anything), writing back and forth for a few months and then he just stopped writing. I am really confused. We certainly were never “inappropriate” in our conversations, but we did share a lot and we both enjoyed them. I dont want to make things weird by asking him what’s going on… did he just get sick of me? Maybe I thought we were closer than we really were… any thoughts?

Send him a mail and ask. Stop thinking it’s inapproriate to ask. Maybe something happened… be brave and ask the guy what’s going on! I demand it!
I’d stop short of demanding that you e-mail him, but I still think it’s a good idea. There could be lots of reasons for him to break off communication.
1. He went on vacation
2. He got very busy at work
3. Technical difficulties
4. His wife didn’t share the opinion that it wasn’t inappropriate. This is quite possible depending on what was shared. Remember that is doesn’t have to be something sexual to be inappropriate.
5. He may not share the opinion that it wasn’t inappropriate (for the same reasons as his wife).
6. He may not have considered you to be that close.
These are just a few of the possibilities (some good, some bad, some neutral). In any case, there is nothing at all wrong with e-mailing him and asking why he’s been out of touch.
