In both situations couldn't you have just gone ahead with what you would have done anyway if the indecisive person wasn't there? If it really is decision time and they can't make a decision then decide for them (choosing whichever option that inconveniences you the least). And if it's not really make-or-break decision-time, then what's your rush? :-) — Aaron F 13 secs ago

There are many reasons for a person to do that, nobody except this very particular person knows reasons for the deletion. We can only assume. My assumption is he sees no more sense to be there as perhaps he only signed on because of you, but you blocked him now. If you really want to know the backgrounds you should ask him. — puck 32 secs ago

Have you tried to not give in? It's the same with children, if you tell them to do this and that but let them do otherwise and even support them, they learn you are good at talking but the actual ruler is them :-) — puck 1 min ago

This is excellent to help me understand how he feels, thank you. These are wonderful tips. I'm very happy that you got past your depression. A lot of what you said makes complete sense and even though I cannot be his personal psychologist or anything, this really helps me to think of how I can support him better. Thank you so much. — Koenshi 1 min ago

Not an answer as it's not what you are asking to do: I wouldn't talk to him about it. I've been in a very similar situation to you, and I recommend these things to help you overcome it: First, try to be happy that your friend found someone they're happy with. Second, reassure yourself that them having a partner makes no difference to your friendship with them. Third, write down all your feelings, maybe in a letter-to-your-friend style, to air them out. But don't send the letter. Destroy it or maybe put it in an encrypted file. Fourth, try to continue your friendship as usual. It worked for me. — Sumyrda 22 secs ago

Do you need your old cooler at all? Why not putting it up for sale? Also, why do you need to leave it in the corridor? — ooOOooK 11 secs ago
