I am close friends with mike. Mike and I are bicurious. I would not say hes my boyfriend because neither of us want boyfriends. However, we are very sexual together. Mike has certain issues like low self esteem, anxiety and some form of depression. Every job has ended up with him upset and quitting or being fired. I have known him for like over 5 years. Mike gets a disability check due to mental issues. I am unaware of his exact diagnosis. I suspect he believes he has more issues than he does. He also can have anger issues. Mike is not exactly an alcoholic but he does have problems with drinking. I feel he drinks way too much. He does seem to hold it well though. I hardly ever drink.
After he pays his rent for the room he rents he does have a limited income left
from his check. I have helped him out. We hang out quite often for hours. We enjoy each other's company. He only has a couple other friends. He likes to hang out with friends often. Once in a while, he isolates himself from others. In early December I bought him a cell phone card and he isolated himself from me for several days.
He told me not to take it personally. He saw I was upset by it. He apologized to me and we slept together. A few days later he again brushed me off. This time I ignored his several phone calls and texted him telling him it hurts my feelings when he ignores me. I believe he felt some what upset by me ignoring him.
He later apologized and told me he needs me in his life. He blames his issues for the way he acted.
I admit I care about him. Part of is cause of his issues and I try to be there for him.
He can be a clingy person. Not long ago, I spent time with another friend of mine.
Mike showed up at my door and my brother told him I was out with the other friend. Mike had no cell minutes and no home phone to call me before hand.
Mike's roommate said he seemed jealous of me hanging out with my other friend
2 days in a row. He also punched a hole through the wall where he lives that weekend. I do not believe it was directly linked his possible jealousy of my other friend but his state of mind was not the best then. He also stopped taking his meds a few months ago. He honestly is fine 9O percent of time. He doesnt come
across as having mental issues. Well spoken and well groomed.
I guess I am just looking for some opinions here on how to handle occasional issues with mike. I want him to go get help for drinking and maybe go back into
counseling and maybe even back on meds. I offer to go with him. Mike is a good natured person. He thinks I worry too much. Please know I lost my mother to a drunk driver so I understand that too much drinking can be a problem. (He only drinks at home in the evening and stays in. No driving.) What would u do?
None of my family or other friends are aware that we are bisexual. I have talked to other friends about mikes problems but I cant discuss everything.
