To feel very upset

[MadameBee]

Ok so please be kind I am struggling with this a lot.

We have very close friends, a couple I was originally friends with and then my DH became friends with and ended up being our best man.

BM is clearly struggling withi Lockdown and and has become increasingly aggressive with me on anything I post on FB. He loves Boris and I do not and am very happy with KS.

Anything I have shared recently he has been absolutely brutal and rude towards me calling me stupid and it has really upset me and made me feel bullied, he has challenged females on my FB but not males.

He has now deleted me and I feel so upset. His wife is one of my best friends.

He shouldn’t be rude to you, but you shouldn’t be posting anything political on FaceBook if you don’t want people to comment on it and/or debate with you.

Your Facebook Timeline. You can post political diatribes on it as much as you want. If people don't like it they have the option to unfollow, which he has (just as I've unfollowed people who disappointed me by posting ugly racism. I don't want to see that, and will unfollow no matter who they are).

All this is fair enough. Posting in reply to you and disagreeing with your point: OK. Being rude and abusive to you is not okay. And it takes a special type of arsehole to start picking fights with other people's friends - sometimes people they barely know if at all - on their timeline.

I witnessed my SiL do this to a good friend of DH's and me on DH's timeline once. It's exactly the kind of thing she would do.

Special type of arsehole. I'd be glad the trash took itself out, OP. And given he's a sexist pig to add to his other delights I wouldn't be giving him another thought.
