Possible! I have an old friend where it's essentially the opposite, he slowly leaned into cubicle life, got a long term good gf, moved far out for work and got a decent place on the atlantic. I get the sense that he's just prioritizing building a family and likely has most of his time spent with work, work friends, and home life.
I don't mind it, but at a certain point I felt like I was the only one of us to check in every 6-8 months, and so just left it on the table for a while. Since then he hasn't reached back out to me, and I figure he's just in a different phase of life overall~
