To want to end the friendship?

[RainbowBriteUk]

My very close friend and I have previously got on like a house on fire. We've been close and communicate regularly.

Just recently though he said I was needy. I posted a thread about it here. I was really offended because it's him who texts ME a lot. I merely reply to him!

Anyway, yesterday I told him I was going on a date at the weekend. A few messages were sent. This morning I woke up to the message of him asking me not to talk about relationships. WTF.

I don't know what's got into him but I really don't like the person he's become. He's nasty and spiteful. I did tell him we'd soon have nothing to talk about if he's asking me not to talk about certain topics and I've decided to have a break from the friendship. He makes me feel not good enough, which in a world where it's hard to be good enough anyway, I feel he's just beating me down. AIBU to be pissed off at him?

Why would you be unreasonable to end a friendship with someone you no longer like? Sometimes these things just end.

Sometimes I just ask myself am I being overly sensitive to the situation.

I remember your previous thread.
Sounds like the friendship has come to a natural end

It's a real shame but I won't be put down by him. I don't know quite who he thinks he is.

He doesn't want you to talk about relationships? Either he's behaving like a child and being mean to you because he fancies you (and so doesn't want to hear about your date) or he's jealous and has loe self esteem and doesn't want to hear about anything good in your life. Maybe it's time to back off.

@Tal45 I don't think he fancies me. He's saying horrible things.

He's very mean lately. It's almost like he wants to break me.
