I also don't understand why he i relentlessly charging me double as well Jennifer. I am feeling embarrassed and worthless. My gut says finish the friendship by ignoring him and pretend he doesn't exist but there goes the childhood days. I don't think he cares anymore about our childhood because every time I raise the good old days he pulls his face like he is disgusted. Which is embarrassing. His career achievements are big and I congratulate him but I don't like who he has become as a person towards me. He is patronizing and arrogant and almost behaves in away where he will cut the friendship off anytime just to manipulate me and this make me feel worthless. I feel like a fool to stand up for myself. Casual yes we are in that way
