They Were Best Friends for Over a Decade—Then One Shocking Moment Changed Everything
When I was ~18 I started seeing a girl we got on really well but in the end she decided we were better off as friends and began dating my best friend.
(She was right and we are still friends to this day and both happily married to other people.)
After a few months the two of them seem pretty serious and though I’m a bit cut up I do my best to be happy for them. It hurts to hear it but she’s super keen on him they’ve told each other they love each other blah blah blah.
I’m hanging out with my buddy one day and I say “you guys are getting pretty serious, she told me you love each other”. He responds, “ah no man, I just tell her that s**t so she sleeps with me”.
It was really hard for me to look at him the same way after that and though we’re friends again now it soured our friendship for a few years afterwards.
I helped a friend get hired into my old job. She was fired in a week for gross insubordination. I was so embarrassed that I stopped talking to her.
Friend had physically harmed another friend who was drunk because he thought nobody would notice.
Next day I confronted him, and after looking in my eyes and denying what I had seen for 30 minutes, it was like his mask came off. I have never understood the descriptions of the *coldness* of eyes until that moment. He just looked at me, smiled, and said “Honestly? I just don’t care.”
