I think for us it's circumstances, and the shared past isn't enough.
He's gone a little towards being a UCP style of belief system. and I've actually gone more to the left as I've gotten older. So there is a disconnect in how we view things. limits discussion on a lot of topics.
But the biggest part is my personal fortunes have changed over the last few years, and with the cost of living, it's a now a bit grim for my family.
When people have a friend who can never afford to do anything, they quit getting asked out. I used to hang out at his house sometimes but it began to get a bit uncomfortable as I could seldom bring anything, and his wife isn't the most welcoming. (especially to someone she views as a mooch)
I think people generally like to spend time with others on their level, or social strata.
He's ghosting me, and I my mental health isn't in a place when I have the capacity to fight it.
sucks through, no matter the reason.
