If your best friend treated you like this.........?

He constantly makes plans with me only to either be extremely late or to not show up at all. Most recently I invited him over for dinner and he said he'd be over at 8. I went to the store, bought groceries, came home and thoughtfully prepared his favorite meal. 8 came and went, 9 came and went, 10 came and went. Eventually I drank the wine all by myself and went to bed angry. The next day he left me an email. (He didn't even bother trying to call because he KNEW I was going to be upset). The messaage was simple. "Sorry I missed dinner. I came home and laid down for a quick nap and slept through. Why didn't you call and wake me up?" AS IF IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY!!!! I've had it with his constant tardiness. I wrote him and said "Please don't write or call me anymore. I'm done with your disrespect of my time. I am always rearanging my plans to suit your availability only to be stood up with weak excuses like your phone battery is dead or you were asleep. I don't care if you move back to Kansas at this point!"

FYI so you people don't think I'm a total push over.......... I'm NOT. I value friendship as much as family or marriage. It's something I do not take lightly. When he and I do get together it's amazing. We have the best time. We are polar opposites but it works for us. But I've had enough of his flippant attitude about my personal time off.

One sided friendships should end. It's not fair. Unfortunately he doesn't care as much as you do. Find people who value you like you deserve and he can take his sorry behind back to Kansas!

you did the right thing because first of all he is not a good or respect friend. he don't value or respect your time.and second and last he could not call you or talk to you face to face. he needs to learn how to respect you and when something goes wrong talk to you face to face so you did the right thing because i whould have cut him off a long time ago and also it just proves the your a good person.so if i was you i whould let him go and keep going on with my life, because he is not the only friend you can make. if you want to can make new friends. i know you can . i did it and you can do it to.

Well done, sad to lose a friendship but if he's smart he will try and make it up to you, I think a year of sucking up will fix it......lol. Kudos for being upfront too...:D

yay! you definitely did the right thing--obviously he didn't value your friendship--the excuses are lame and his actions were disrespectful. good for you!
