Said this before on here but found out my “best friend” from freshman year of college was a date rapist who took advantage of drunk girls at frat parties….I hope he dies in a hole.
I cut a friend recently because he kept putting me in a box I apparently wasn’t fitting in. I know I’m not the greatest person but hot damn, don’t need to text me paragraphs about how much of a shit person I am after everytime we meet
2 Lifelong friends since second grade. They would invite me and my family to all of their kids birthdays, Halloween parties, new years parties, Superbowl parties, whatever they hosted. My family always brought gifts, made food, and helped set up and clean all the parties.
We had another baby and decided, hell let’s throw a nice one year birthday party all themed out and kind of a short trip out of the city to getaway. I told my two friends they don’t have to bring anything but their families. We had gift bags for the other kids, alcohol for the adults, we did the damn thing.
Sadly for me, only my wife’s friends showed up. They were the only two friends I really had. No one else. That’s when I had an epiphany and realized I was never their friend, they are my friends. They didn’t call that day or haven’t even tried contacting me since…that was two years ago.
I learned that my one friend didn’t want to use his time of at work because he was going on a vacation. Yet I told him a year, six months, three months, and a month before the party. He never considered the time I took off to attend his parties.
My other friend was going through a bitter divorce with his wife. Maybe I’m selfish but getting away with just the kids to a birthday party to get away from your now ex-wife might’ve been a nice day. Just like the other friend I told him well in advance. Even drove to their places to hand deliver the custom invites we designed.
Fuck them both. I asked them to attend one fucking party for my son. They lied throughout the year telling me yeah yeah I’ll be there I can’t wait.
Those aren’t friends. They were people who needed bodies at their parties for clout.
Became a toxic person around them and decided to leave them alone before my mental health got worse. It did tho but at least no one besides me had to suffer.
I’m a girl, my best friend was a boy. Both my ex boyfriend’s had an issue with our friendship… there was never an attraction between us and we were super tight with each other’s family, went thru school together and I could tell him everything and vice versa, he was literally the brother I always wanted. He was absolutely the best friend I’ve ever had and so I defended him until the cows came home, even if it resulted in an argument between me and both my ex’s. Now he has a girlfriend and it’s like I don’t exist, and I haven’t heard from him in months…
Admittedly, it Hurts to know he couldn’t do the same for me. Nonetheless I’m happy he’s happy, and if us not having a friendship means he can have a solid intimate relationship then I suppose that’s the price to pay, regardless of how bittersweet. He’s a great guy and I wouldn’t want him to miss out on that for the world.
