[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously there's a reason she didn't tell you before hand, and a reason she doesn't want to share now.  Something about the situation is embarassing.  Likely financial or marital problem(s).

So on the one hand, yes I would just let it go.  On the other hand, if you really care(d) about this person, I might text back  something supportive that leaves the door open.  Maybe just tell the truth?  What harm could that do?

"We will miss you!  I am worried about you because this seems so odd and sudden.  But I'm sure you have your reasons.  If you ever want to talk, I am here.  I hope you drop me a line, or if you're ever back in town, let me know.  I won't ask any nosy questions if you prefer.  Just miss you.

Take care and good luck!"[/quote]
I’ve been reading “scripts” on DCUM for years and this is the first one that I’ve liked.[/quote]

I don't like it at all. It is classic, [b]passive aggressive. [/b][/quote]

I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.

Being direct and telling the truth is the opposite of PA[/quote]

The whole "If you ever want to talk I'm here" is BS and Passive Aggressive. Its like U OWE ME SOMETHING[/quote]

No it's not.  PA would be, "My OTHER friends call me so often.  It's SO great to be the kind of person who calls often, don't you agree?"
Being direct and saying, "I'm here for you if you ever want to call" respects the friend's privacy and let's her know the door is open.  In fact, if OP wanted to , she could even actually say, "I want to respect your privacy but please know, if you ever want to chat I would love to".  [/quote]
