Genuinely wtf are we doing in the big 26.. so yesterday I was on FaceTime with my gf as we were talking aboht uh.. NSFW jokes and planning our 1 year anniversary. One of my friends were spamming my name and was like “invite me in the call!” (We FaceTime on google meet coz we have 2 different phones and it doesn’t work on messages app).

I was like “no, we’re talking about stuff rn”. Which then he spams my phone with memes.. making my phone overheat. So I tell him to stop and he doesn’t stop. I said to stop again. And he says “then invite me in the call”. I was so close to cussing him out.

Then I finally said “me and [insert gfs name] are planning our date”. He then said “oh! Let me bring [insert ex best friend name] itll be a double date!”

My heart sinks to my toes. Because wdym he’s dating someone who has caused me emotional pain?? I legit start begging like “no. Don’t. PLEASE.”

He won’t get the hint. Because he KNOWS how she is. He KNOWS this. I make the mistake of saying “So if you bring [insert ex friend name] I'm gonna fight her. I mean it. I don't give a damn. “

For context if I feel threatened by someone I know, I will threaten them. It’s a reaction due to stuff I’ve been through with other people. He then said

“If you lay a finger on my girlfriend, I will seriously hurt you. It is not a threat, it's a promise”

.. I was laughing in disbelief. Because his relationships haven’t lasted long btw.

So I’m texting my gf at the same time. Shes getting mad at him and this goes on for an hour.. and then he stopped suddenly? He’s like

“Hey I’m sorry, I'm sorry if it felt like I threatened you. It's just that I'm very protective over the ones I love and I will never let you or anyone hurt anyone I love ok?”

I just don’t believe it anymore. He then says

“I couldn't say the rest because I'm crying my eyes out rn because I hurt you and I'm sorry!”

.. buddy you sound manipulative asf.

So should I stop being friends with him? I’m just scared and tired and I’ve been crying today so yeh..
