During my working years I knew people I thought were friends. When I experienced an almost lethal event in my life, I never heard from them. Not a visit to ICU, a phone call or card. After retirement I was a member of a car club. I thought the people who I allowed to use my shop, tools, parts and labor were friends. When we moved just 100 miles away, we never heard from them again.

I have a real friend that I've known since 6th grade. We've never not kept in touch. My dogs have been my best friends. I trust my wife.

There's people who use you for their benefit, but not truly friends. I call them 'users'. Perhaps you should examine how much of a 'friend' yours really were. You may not have lost much.


If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.

A girlfriends going bat-shit-crazy, sure. But all your buddies at the same time?


Not all of them. I have 2 that I graduated High School with and maybe 2 more that I trust. They're friends of mine but don't really hang around the other set of friends. They know them of course because I live in a small town.
Indirectly, I couldn't say. I pretty much keep to myself and most know this.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

I’m sorry to say that this is the root of the problem. If you know his character, don’t be surprised when that character expresses itself in the current situation.


I'm thinking this is it also but it's never came up before.
I know he still has strong feelings for his ex fiance but to just all of a sudden think that I wanted his ex? It's crazy.
Then to tell a few people that are mutual friends that this is my goal?
This is more than jealousy.

I didn't lose much IMO. I still have myself, my daughter/family and my business. The rest can be done without.

You really want to get the moron's juices flowing. Just tell him "Are you kidding???? Why on earth would I want her after so and so's been with her" and insert the name of some mutually known acquaintance that he is not friends with that is sleezy or something along those lines.

She probably dumped him over his jealousy to begin with. He probably did you a favor and isn't worth being friends with to begin with!

You don’t need friends like that. If he believes your ex without getting your side and refuses to talk it out, then he is not only jealous he is very immature! If you feel you need to explain your side of write it to him in an email and close in a Fuck off and never contact me again. Either way move on form new friendships. One note there are some batshit crazy women out there towing along drag racing trailers full of baggage, choose wisely!

long time friend acting ~different....

I'm (8 to 5) going with -- she seduced him and he is handling the guilt by pushing away (you) those who may find out and call him out. She now has him helping her to breakup the friends long standing group.

There is something else occurring at the same time, how much of that is her doing; maybe some, possibly nothing.


Do not necessarily attribute someone's nasty or inappropriate actions as intended when it may be explained by ignorance or stupidity.

Exactly. He's not worth it.
As for women, I'm done with them also. I swear to Christ that any women over 40 that has kids and been divorced is fucking nuts. I'm done with the dating because it's been ridiculous.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.
