AITAH for “ruining my friends date”?
Since school I’ve had a good friend. We’re both 30 now and we’ve been close since we were 10. For the last few years he’s been sporadic with his messages. He’s stopped messaging for various reasons a few months at time for the last 3 years.
Last year was been particularly hard for me since my dad passed away. My friend knew this and was there for me when he found out what happened. Shortly after that he stopped replying to messages.
He left my message on read when I messaged at Christmas and didn’t bother asking how my first Christmas without my dad was. There’s photos of him out drinking with other friends etc so it’s not like he’s not talking to anyone. I’d checked in to see if anything was wrong but he continued to ignore me.
Last weekend my girlfriend and I were out for drinks. He was on a date at the same bar and came over to me. He introduced me to his date and said I was a good friend. I mentioned that I was busy and would appreciate being left alone as we were on a date.
He didn’t listen a kept talking and telling his date how well we knew each other and how long we’d been friends for etc.
His date asked what he was like and I just said he disappears for months at a time and repeatedly ignores people and mentioned he hadn’t bother checking in on me on my first Christmas after my dad’s death and just ignored every message I’ve be sent him for the last 10 months.
His date left and he got annoyed and accused me of ruining his date but I just pointed out I hadn’t said anything about untrue and I did ask to be left alone and he didn’t listen to me.
