I had a friend I was close with for a long time. We have been growing apart because he has changed a lot (in a negative way). When he was losing all of his friends, I stayed by his side.
But I got sick of the way he was acting as well, and I stopped being his friend. He apoligized, and I became his friend again. But then he started acting like a jerk towards me again, so I stop hanging out with him. This happened about 8 times.
I don't do this with ANY of my other friends!
I noticed that he didn't mean his apologies, and just said them to look like the good person in the situation. So I just told him that we could try to get along, but I didn't want to be friends with him again. We could just be like associates.
Was I right to do this? I think I gave him enough chances. And I know him well enough to realize that he didn't mean it when he said sorry. I don't feel guilty or anything, so I don't think I was wrong.
Some of the things he use to do to me were:
He use to talk bad about me behind my back, he would try to embarrass me in front of other people to act 'tough' or 'bad'.
He would make fun of me, the way I dressed, how much money my parents made(because he is from a family that is well-off), who I hung out with, and how I looked.
And he treated his girlfriend (who is my best friend) really bad. He did all of these things to her, and it made her really sad, but she let him do it.
And what REALLY made me SOOOO angry with him was what he said the other day. On Halloween, my friend passed away in an accident. Nov. 1st was my friend's (not the one that died) birthday, and he said,"Thanks to him dying, nobody will remember that it is my birthday!!"
What do you think?
