My friend really hurt my feelings.

Ouch that was kinda harsh.

I would wait until he has a date over then call him and ask him where he is at becasue the baby is hungry and you need that milk...loud enough for that date to overhear. You don't need friends like that.
 
Thanks everyone. I do feel a bit better and you made me laugh. We've been friends for a year and a half. He never seems to have a problem stopping by and taking a shower (he likes my shower better than his) or eating the food I fix him. We say we love each other, and I often try and get him fixed up with the caveat that new girl must like me. I also tell him what he is doing wrong with whomever he is dating or give him pointers from the girl's point of view (believe me this conversation takes hours).

I already kinda knew he felt that way, but to hear him verbalize it really hurt me to the bone. I know I'm not 25 anymore, but man did it hurt. He knows it and he did apologize when I started crying. But deep down I knew that is how he felt. He's ashamed to be my friend.

i'm so sorry this buttwipe hurt your feelings. :hug: he's not worthy to be in your presence and certainly doesn't deserve your friendship. in your shoes (and yes, i've been in this position more than once), i would forget i ever met him.
 
Next time he calls you to do something, you should tell him that you wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that you are friends with someone who is shallow and clueless.
 

This guy is not your "friend." You said he's ashamed of you--I think you're right. He's using you and you're letting him. I think the question you really have to ask is...why? What are you getting out of this odd relationship? Cuz you wouldn't be in it if you weren't benefitting in some way.

Personally, I think you need to kick him to the curb and get on with growing up. There are plenty of people out there who will recognize you for the wonderful person you are and who will feel privileged to be called your friend. You don't need to waste your time on this person. He's not good for you.
 
And this is someone you consider a "friend"? With "friends" like that, you don't need enemies.. I would drop him like a hot potato..

How insulting!!!!! :headache:
 
What a jerky thing for your friend to say.

If it were me, I would tell him right up-front that I didn't appreciate what he said. It was mean and hurtful. Guys like that are so irritating.
 
This guy is your 'friend?' I think I would re-evaluate that. He's a twerp.
 
Thanks everyone. You are all right. I texted him last night before bed and said "You really hurt my feelings. I thought we were friends". He replied "sorry". Not I'm sorry or I didn't mean to but simply sorry. I guess everyone is right. The friendship is over. I know it's for the best, but I still hurt. I'll miss him and our stupid conversations over the dinners I cooked. Thank you all for the support. And I hope his girlfriend has no idea what seared Ahi Tuna is and how to cook it and he tells her "yeah you're hot but you can't cook like Lynn".....LOL. Just kidding. I wish him happiness.

:hug: It's not gonna be easy, but it will be so much healthier for you. I hope he steps in a big ol' pile of dog poo.:mad:

I'm sorry--I can imagine how disappointed you are. Good for you for standing up for yourself though. Self respect feels amazing and better things are ahead for you!
 
Stepping away from a toxic friendship is hard but it's not healthy to surround yourself with a person who makes you feel badly about yourself and is so blatantly careless of your feelings. :hug:

If he showed up with flowers and begged your forgiveness for his hurtful words, I may cut him a little slack;) But frankly, anything short of that effort would be useless.
 
One-sided friendships stink. I used to be in one except she was my best friend from freshman year of highschool. We remained friends for 20 years but it was always one-sided (which I didn't mind), until she betrayed me one day. I told her to lose my number and we never spoke again. And I feel great about it!!! ;) It was like losing a lead weight around my neck.

So not only is he an inconsiderate *******, he's also a mooch and a user.

I love the PPs statement...he's telling you who he is. Pay attention.....
 
Wow, what a big fat jerkasaurus. Sheesh.
