Hello! Long time lurker; first time thread creator.
So I used to volunteer at an organisation for 1.5 yrs. I absolutely loved it as it kept me busy during the weekends and any spare time I had. Around 10 months ago, someone else joined as well as a volunteer - took to each other immediately and became very close friends.
We never argued and worked happily together - ideal situation, really. He then left the organisation in November, but we stayed in touch. After this, a lot of other volunteer staff joined, who I didn’t really like. I often ranted about them to my friend just to vent a bit - as we all do.
However for some unexplained reason, he sends snapshots of our conversations to the volunteering lead at the organisation with the intent of me getting ousted, as I did.
He said that he did it out of care, and that the role was “changing me” and he wanted the ‘old’ me back. However, he’d been bragging about doing it for weeks (unknown to me) to his friends so he didn’t do it out of care.
Sure, I did things wrong and handled situations badly, saying things that weren’t wise and I deserved what I got. However, he wanted to play the angel for some reason and decides to be a snake.
Just really upset at how the friendship ended. AIBU to think that he shouldn’t have done it? And that just talking it out would’ve been better rather than toying with my feelings and betraying my trust?
Cheers.
