I realize that being teammates on a pro sports team is not a typical fellow worker situation. But I can absolutely see not speaking to people after working with them for years, and that not being a reflection of not liking them or not respecting them.  Some people you stay in touch with, some you don?t. IMO it doesn?t mean much that they haven?t spoken in a month.  Could be just that they aren?t friends, which doesn?t mean they hate each other, resent each other, or are glad not to be teammates.

And sometimes long relationships are so steeped in varied emotion that once a separation happens the parties want some time and space before communicating. 

JBs and JTs relationship will be different from here out. Maybe they reconnect as old ex-comrades some day and enjoy reminiscing.  Or maybe they despise each other and will never have a kind thought toward the other. Could be anything.  But if it was a *him or me* situation, I hope we kept the right one.

Exactly.  I've worked several jobs where I got along just fine with the people there but outside of work we all had our own lives.  I'm older now with a family and don't really go out after work much.  I had a job when I was in my 20's.  The hours were long.  A group of us got along and would frequently go out on a Thursday.  Weekends though (Fridays included) we all did our own thing.  Over time people left for different reasons.  A few times there were people I really hoped to keep in touch with and for awhile we may have but usually it just fizzled out as we all had our own things to deal with.
