Me and DP have a 5 month old DD, his bestfriend and his GF have a 4 month old DD. I'm fairly good friends with his GF, lets call her Sarah and DPs bestfriend Sam.

Sam was due to come and see DP straight after work for a brew about 5 but didnt turn up. Sarah text at 6 saying is it ok for them all to come at 7 for a takeaway and to watch a film. We said yes and they came.

We decided to order chinese and Sam ordered honey roast pork. The restaurant didnt do it, so made up a random concoction of pork and ginger noodles. Sam wasnt happy and made a massive fuss saying hes not just eating plain rice, that its ruined his night, he'll have to eat when he goes home blah blah blah... so Sarah rang the chinese and asked them to deliver a curry sauce. His moaning and complaining went on and on and they started arguing with each other about who was paying, who was going to give their DD a bottle, why hadnt Sarah been shopping that day, well Sam was a "selfish bastard" meanwhile me and DP sat looking over at each other trying not to laugh as it was just so awkward. Who comes to someones house and starts having a domestic over some pork?!

Anyway curry sauce arrives so they have that with some chicken and rice. They stayed for about half an hour after that, still being awkward making little comments then sam stood up and said theyd have to go because he was still hungry and his night and had been ruined...

Safe to say I dont think we will be agreeing to a chinese night again wtf!

@Marliyaloo it's a public forum! You can't stop people posting with an opinion, you asked AIBU? You will get responses not all that agree with you. Jesus!

Marliyaloo · 19/10/2018 11:22

Yes I got responses on both sides... I took advice, spoke to my friend and decided it was best this thread is deleted.

Fine, not sure why you posted the aggressive Jesus!!! ?

Sam sounds like a controlling narcissist and I would suggest you get your DP to really have talk to him and get through to him. I know I would not want to be around selfish people like that, that cause a blue over fuck all. Unless someone speaks to Sam, I'd be avoiding having anything to do with the couple. Especially as it seems they didn't even apologise to you for their behaviour at your house. Like, who does that? Most people at least have a modicum of self-awareness and sense of embarrassment. If this is normal (or more extreme end of normal) for them, I'd seriously axe the friendship and just stop meeting with them. It cannot be comfortable for you and DP. Why put yourself through that?

Really you read too much into things. The smiley face was lighthearted, the Jesus was an expression, not one of aggression. Leave it be lol

@Marliyaloo ok, if you say so! 😃

SalemBlackCat4 · 19/10/2018 11:29

@Marliyaloo it seems like there are posters on here who are similar to Sam, and just want to start an argument with you for no reason. They don't call AIBU the Viper's Nest for no reason. Flowers

I have bickered in front of close friends. It's mortifying and more upsetting than a private argument.

Friends have also snapped at each other in my company, I am sympathetic amd reassuring to them. If Sam is not usually unreasonable then he is having a bad day or struggling. Even a good sleeper is extra work and sounds like they are struggling with the adjustment. Hope they get back on track soon.
