To think he doesn't deserve an explanation as he will just ignore me or insult me?

My friends been hassling me for my car (at a very low price I might add). Trouble is he goes no contact, abusive or blanks me depending on how he is feeling at that moment in time, and it's getting tiring.

I've just sold the car (at a much better price Grin) to someone who actually likes me and values my company.

AIBU to not give an explanation bearing in mind all I will get in return is earache?

I was thinking of a little text saying sorry it's gone

He is not your friend, and you are allowing him to treat you badly.
Why?

whenwillitend · 13/11/2011 09:25

I agree down Grin. I think I might have a shopping spree with the extra money Wink

He's not your friend.

A text would be fine.

squeakytoy · 13/11/2011 09:56

You have a strange concept of what is a friend. :)

This isnt a friend. Friends are not abusive, ignorant and selfish.. well, they are, but they are not worth having as a friend.

If he asks, just say "sorry, you had your chance. too late now".. and I am talking about both the car and the friendship.

Thanks nagoo and squeaky I have a feeling I won't need to call time as I probably won't hear from him anyway Wink

He's not a friend, he's someone who doesn't even speak to you unless he wants something! You are under no obligation to let him know you've sold the car - it's none of his business.

Why are you so smiley about having a "friend" like that?

EricNorthmansMistress · 13/11/2011 12:49

Your attitude is weird.

HeresTheThingBooyhoo · 13/11/2011 12:53

totally agree ENM

Confused

really weird post/attitude.

whenwillitend · 13/11/2011 16:36

Did I mention I made a packet on the car? Grin

eric and booy perhaps you would like my ffriend's number, I think you will get on fantastically Smile

I have far more to be grateful of, and worried about than this tbh. Nice to get a good price for the car though

Send him a text without the word sorry in it, informing him you have sold the car already to someone else. If he comes back, tell him it was for a lot more money, and leave it at that. You haven't done anything wrong so why say sorry?

whenwillitend · 13/11/2011 17:06

Thanks Lydia, he's not been in contact for a while so hopefully it's been forgotten.

Plan a is leave it and Plan b was outlined by you if he pushes it.

Andrewofgg · 13/11/2011 18:29

OP Ffs, what are your enemies like?

whenwillitend · 13/11/2011 19:24

He also has alot of good qualities which sometimes negate the bad. Anyway no contact unless he remembers I exist is the way to go. -I'm- -not- -a-chicken- -honest-

Do you fancy him or something?

EricNorthmansMistress · 13/11/2011 19:36

Who is this person to you? Because you sound like a teenager who fancies the local bad boy.

whenwillitend · 13/11/2011 19:38
