To be a bit pissed off?

Yesterday I asked my good friend if he wanted to go for drinks at a specific place over the weekend. He said no, that he had a physical ailment. Fair enough I thought. Tonight I found out he was out in the place I asked him to with two other friends. I am slightly pissed off. Feels like they were the better offer somehow.

Yeah that's a bit annoying. But you know now at least.

Oh, and he's still suffering with the ailment.

Perhaps he already had plans with them. He should have been honest either way.

The friends are also mutual friends, although they're closer to him, so he could've invited me! He's done this a few times now.

I wouldn’t invite someone to an already planned meet up.

Are you going to confront him?

PurpleDaisies · 07/08/2021 21:58

Is it always with the same friends he’s done this?

The lying is really rubbish.

PinkiOcelot · 07/08/2021 21:59

That’s shit. Did you pull him up when he’s done this previously?
I don’t think he’s much of a friend.

He didn't.

Is it an ailment that would potentially be embarrassing and he doesn't mind them seeing it but if you saw it he might be embarrassed? No idea what that would be so I'm clutching at straws.

@PurpleDaisies Nope I won't confront him. I just won't invite him out ever again.

Yeah I'd just move on if there is no good reason for it. Get yourself new friends.

He doesn't ever unless it benefits him it seems. He did the same a few weeks back. I give up on asking him now.

Drop him like he's hot.

Wanker.

Potatoy · 07/08/2021 22:19

Yes keep your dignity and just ignore him.

Purplecatshopaholic · 07/08/2021 22:21

Drop him. He’s not a real friend.

AngryWhompingWillow · 07/08/2021 22:22

He sounds like a shit friend. Deceitful, and dishonest, and lying to you.

I'd bin him off tbh @RainbowBriteUk

PurpleDaisies · 07/08/2021 22:24

He doesn't ever unless it benefits him it seems

Is he that sort of friend?

I believe he hadn't already got plans with tonight's friends. It was probably an arrangement he made earlier this evening but still, saying he can't to me and then going anyway with them has made me feel like shit!!!

Take the dignified route - cut his off

Did you mean him? Or are you properly terrifying? Grin
