On Friday, friend randomly asked to meet for dinner. She met me after work and I drove.
Background is that she has a toxic relationship where he cheats and she lets him come back, I’ve been there through the tears, tried to give her advice, she’s stayed over countless times. It’s been years and it’s draining.
Of course she starts having an argument with her boyfriend on the phone whilst we’re sat at the table after ordering. She then asks us to move tables so she can charge her phone. If she’s not texting him, she’s calling him.
I eat food in silence, I’m embarrassed for myself and that everyone around us is clearly hearing this too. I called the waiter over, asked to pay for my food and cancel the dessert. Then I got up and walked out, friend does come running straight out and apologised.
But I feel done. This happens so often. It’s so selfish, because she willingly takes him back and it just repeats. Am o horrible?
