My best friend has just been let go by his wife.
And he took it REAL hard (my wife told me). I'm going to his house after work. Should I phone first (and risk a "no, leave me alone" answer I really don't want) or crash uninvited and offer a shoulder for him to cry on?

1. I'd say crash uninvited
He might think he doesn't want the company, but it's the best thing for him now.

2. The guy's answering his phone?
Maybe he's not in such bad shape after all. Seriously, just crash. It's more meaningful than a phone call.

4. I don't know, I haven't called
The real crisis seems to have happened already. Wifey knew by a post on his blog (which I can't get here at work coz blogger is blocked). She says he went to the hospital, feeling ill, and the doc said he had nothing. Maybe it was a temporary blood pressure pike or something. I don't have all the details.

5. That's so sad.
I would say go uninvited. His world just shattered and he needs a friend.
