lww99 07/02/18 8:03:48 AM #1:	We've been good/best friends since middle school. Approaching 30 now. Couldn't hang out for awhile due to conflicting work schedules. He recently got a new job, so we've been hanging out more. It's been a long time, but he attempted suicide in the past. He's estranged from pretty much his entire family. I think I'm the only friend he hangs out with him, so if I don't hang out with him, he has no one. Loneliness fosters depression, and I don't want him to get into that mind state again. Now we've hung out every Saturday for like a month straight. I don't really mind, I have a good time. We take turns gaming, usually work out at some point, and get some food. Sometimes he doesn't leave until like 1am, and I think that bothers my gf. She likes him, doesn't mind him hanging out, when it's every Saturday for 12 hours, she gets a little annoyed. Any ideas? --- http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h239/nhottbarbwire/owningroad_zps2333f502.gif <cite>lww99 posted [p:904347636] in Not sure h...
