This is a really stupid issue but I'm pretty stressed at the moment and it's bothering me more than it normally would. I have a friend who I've known for years and been back in touch with for a couple of years now. We meet for drinks and a catch up about once every three months. I was starting to feel like it was always me suggesting this so I stopped this a few months ago and he immediately arranged a get together. All fine and nice. He's suddenly started taking ages to return any texts and being rather off-hand and 'bloke-like' in his replies and is basically coming over as rude and a bit of an ass. I suggested a couple of weeks ago that we should catch up and he eventually responded that it was a good idea he then took a week to get back to me saying that if I wanted to get together that weekend then he'd sqeeze me in if I liked. I have responded, making it clear that I was now busy and was not just there to be fitted in as a favour.
I know it doesn't matter and in the wake of all the other stresses that are going on now it's a little thing but its just upset me. I'd actually have really liked to just sit down and had a good chat with this friend this weekend but I'll be damned if I'm going to be treated like someone to be fitted in as if he's doing me a favour. I spent too many years with my nasty xh trying to make me feel small without letting anyone get away with this now.
Don't know what I expect anyone to say. Just feel rubbish. Half of me wants to text again and say actually lets meet up but I just cant trample on my self-respect to that degree. Am I completely over-reacting here? Getting away from EA xh and now facing reduncancy and a whole host of other issues and my radar for unreasonableness is completely shot. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
