They Were Best Friends for Over a Decade—Then One Shocking Moment Changed Everything
I posted on Facebook something along the lines of “Congratulations to my friends John and Mike for finally getting married!” and she posted a long homophobic/religious rant comment about how all lgbtq people are going to hell and so will anyone associated with them.
Thinking that there had to be some form of miscommunication going on, I emailed and asked her why she wrote that. Turns out in all our years of friendship, we had never discussed anything lgbtq related (which is really weird now that I look back on it) and that was how she really felt.
So, uh, bye. Never spoke to her again.
My best friend accused me of “making him gay.”
No joke.
He was in the closet when I met him, and throughout our years of friendship I tried my best to show love and support to him during his gradual coming-out process. He came from a conservative family and really resisted coming out. When he finally came to terms with his sexual orientation, I guess he convinced himself somehow that I was the one who planted that seed of homosexuality in his mind and corrupted him. When he yelled at me, in tears, “you made me gay!” I couldn’t believe that he was serious. I was willing to forgive, because I knew it wasn’t really about me, but from that day on he began pushing me away and treating me like s**t. After putting up with the a*****e and toxic behavior for months, I eventually told him that I was done, moved out, and never spoke to him again.
Years later, he emailed me an apology. I have nothing but love for him, and part of me still grieves because he was like a brother to me, but I haven’t tried to rekindle the friendship.
Yeah, I had a friend who I met clubbing and only really had a friendship with because we went to the same nightclubs. We went out for coffee once day and there was a noisy child screaming away at a nearby table. She made a derogatory comment about the child being mixed race and how she didn’t agree with mixed race relationships (up until this point I’d not seen anything like that from her at all) and I pointed out that my then boyfriend, now husband was mixed race and I wasn’t happy with her comment & she responded with “yeah but (husband) can pass for white so it’s fine!”.
I made my excuses and left and ignored her messages of “are you out tonight?” after that. She did pop up on social media a few years later when Facebook started and I had a nose on her profile out of morbid curiosity and wasn’t shocked to see she was an active member of the EDL.
Had a dude I was friends with in the military. Pretty cool guy, looked out for everyone, tried to take care of everyone. He was all around a great guy.
Right up until you get him talking about women. As soon as he starts talking about females, he turns into the most downright misogynist pig ive ever met. As a guy I can understand some talking and elaborating when it comes to the other gender, but the things he would say makes people downright uncomfortable and are conversation stoppers. He had been told multiple times about it, warned and warned, and it still didnt stop. The worst part? He was married and continues to be. Dont worry, he cheats on her with as many females as he can find.
Hard no in my book.
My dad died a few years ago, and while everyone I know were sending us condolences, one of my best friends I’ve had since elementary school tried to send my mom d**k pics. He didn’t want me to find out but naturally my mom told me immediately. Haven’t talked to him since. No room for that kind of betrayal in my life. My dad had done a lot for him, too, including straight-up giving him money when he needed it. Just pure wtf. Sucks.
Senior year of high school, I planned a small roadtrip to a nearby city for me and my friends. Everyone was super excited. I planned activities, restaurants, sightseeing, looked at Airbnbs, etc.. One by one, they all told me they didn’t have enough money and couldn’t go. I said it was fine, so I cancelled the trip. Found out via their Snapchat stories that they lied to me and went on the trip I planned without me, including all the activities and restaurants I had suggested. They posted a lot of the pics on Snapchat and instagram too. Never spoke to them again.
I got se***lly a**aulted by two guys in a summer camp and told it to my best friend. After calling me stupid for letting that happen, she apologised and I forgave her. Then I saw her parents who asked how summer camp went and all she did was turn to me and go “well, you made many friends, didn’t you ? Don’t you wanna tell my parents about it ?” with a big smile on her face. I don’t feel too bad about thinking that she can f**k off in hell.
My best mate’s now ex girlfriend told everyone I had s*x with her while they were dating, when I definitely had not.
She was the most irritating person I’d ever met and I don’t know if I’ve ever been attracted to someone less, than I was to her.
