How do I completely ignore my bff?

My gay bff is 10 years older than me. I love him to death and I don't want to do anything to hurt him. The problem is there are a lot of things that I really question about our friendship. For starters, I don't necessarily feel like I can tell him anything and vent to him. Even though he can do those things to me.

He has a ruthless, sarcastic and mean humor like me but sometimes I feel like it is overly so. He becomes hard to talk too cause he is constantly dishing out insults and acting like they are jokes. I know they are jokes but he can be really mean. .i have depression and i'm not supposed to be exposing myself to anything negative. Everytime I am around him I feel like I should maybe try to avoid him. I love him and he has been a good friend. But there is a lot that bugs me. Oh, and ever since he has gotten a new boyfriend me and him have not had one single moment alone together. His boyfriend moved in and since then anytime I see my bestfriend his boyfriend is always around. I like his boyfriend but it's a weid sitaution. Never any one on one time with my bff yet my bff always wants me to come over. But hes become really boring lately. What the hell do I do? I wanna stay friends but at the same time he is the type of person who would just say i'm being over dramatic. I feel like that's what he would do. I should mention that i'm 20 and my bff is 30.....

    Well, it sounds like you are in a very complicated situation. I can't possibly expect to fully understand what you are going through since I am not you. However, it would appear that you have been receiving some form of the cold shoulder treatment as of late and that may or may not have something to do with his boyfriend. The best decision to do would be to offer him company and remain his friend. This would mean you would have to respect the time he wishes to spend with his boyfriend. Like any best friend though, he still values your input, but I would not reccommend doing anything drastic. Instead just be his friend to the best of your ability, or however much you feel is necessary to maintain your strong friendship.

    I think you should just straight up tell him how you feel. If he calls you names or doesn't accept that you're feeling some discomfort, then he's not the friend for you. Try coming across by saying that you would really like him to listen and to not say you're overly dramatic because you're feeling strange about the friendship. If he is your friend, I'm sure he will understand

    I wouldn't necessarily ignore him, but I would just talk to him about the problems that you seem to have with him. But if that doesn't work, I would just stop talking to him all together. And with his boyfriend, try to schedule a day with just you two to hang out.
