Advice Needed

A few weeks ago AP was venting to me about his GF. I have no problem with listening to him and giving him advice as to me we're friends first and can talk about anything. We were texting and I was giving him advice on the situation. We had a whole texting convo about it for at least an hour and then at the end of the convo he told me that he didn't want to discuss anymore because it was taboo with us?! WTF?! He'd just indulged me in a convo about it for an hour and suddenly it was taboo?! What's that about?

It must have suddenly struck him for some reason, the idea that discussing his g/f with you was another betrayal or something. And I guess it didn't strike him right away! IMO I would stay away from the subject of his g/f unless he brings it up from now on, (which I'm sure he did in this situation, but he might stop doing so now).

Yeah he was the one who brought it up first and I asked a question which he answered and then we just kept talking about it. I just want him to feel comfortable to be able to talk to me about anything. I really didn't mind giving him advice on it and it kinda felt good to me that I was able to help him out and lend an ear. I don't know if I enjoyed listening to him about it because I truly wanted to help him or because it was giving me insight into what's going on with them. Probably a little of both.
