I had a crappy night out at a club and cut off a friendship with a male friend of mine from college.
The backstory is we ran into each other after 30+ years two years ago. We reunited as friends and started hanging out here and there.
This male friend is woman-obsessed, I've learned, and is not that healthy - he has been very sickly in his life and he is a pot addict. He is constantly trying to find a relationship, as though a relationship is a life raft, and he only talks about his interactions with skeezy women he comes across in a club. He hangs onto these women he meets as friends, always hoping something more will happen. And all the women he meets and befriends are completely nuts - not grounded, sane, or even nice or remotely decent women.
Well, last night this male friend was acting really strange from the moment he arrived at the club. He was hoping to meet up with a woman he is chasing, but she didn't show up, so he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Well, I got sexually accosted by a male later on in the night, who kept trying to grope me. So I walked over to my male friend for safety. I told him then asked him a question about the woman he was hoping to meet, and he acted completely annoyed with me for asking a simple question then basically told me to shut up and listen to the music. So I left in a huff and stormed away from him. At that point, I left the club.
After leaving, I sent this friend a few text messages telling him he had acted really crappy towards me when I had just been accosted by some jerk. Given that this friend has been nothing other than completely self absorbed for the last two years, I decided to cut off our friendship and blocked him.
And its' true - all he ever talks about are his dealings with various horrible women he meets at bars. He's obsessed and totally self absorbed.
Needless to say, I woke up enraged by the whole situation. My friend could have been far more sensitive to the fact that I had just been accosted. To tell me to shush and to act annoyed with me right after that was highly inappropriate, dismissive, and rude.
So I am done with him and I am done with that friendship. Just done. I don't need an unhealthy, unbalanced, self absorbed, woman obsessed friend in my life.
We're not even on an equal playing field. He doesn't work at all because he has a lot of money and has been living off of that for the last 6 years. Mostly what he does is go to the bars and drink to meet women. NO THANK YOU AND GOODBYE. I don't need him in my life.
