He begrudges you a beer? Sounds like a real cheapskate.

Back with the pushing and shoving. Where does he get off . . . ?? So did you drive out to his house? and, maybe he wasn't thrilled to see you?

If it's a case of anything is better than being alone, then I'ld sooner go pick some random homeless guy up off the street, or out of a bar. I literally have done both of those "l and been treated nicer than what you're describing.

Glad you're okay.
