When is a friend not a friend anymore?
Here is the history.
I have a buddy that I was pretty close too. We did a lot together over the years. Spent most of the summers hanging out at each others houses or at his parents lake house. I was the best man in his wedding. He was married two years ago.
I try to invite him to everything; cookouts, rangers games, birthdays, etc. I try to involve him. Rarely if ever do I hear from him. I know that part of that is getting married and I'm really ok with that. I have a girlfriend I spend a lot of time with and have other friends. Not many that go back 15 years though.
I can count four times that he said he was going to be somewhere and just did not show up within the last year. I waited for him at a eating establishment for 1 1/2 for him to show up without even a call. I set up a skeet shoot at my house for him. The reason being I bought him a shot gun for a wedding present. I had a few guys down. He said he would be there by 8am. He texted me at 730pm at night and said, hey sorry about this morning. My birthday was two weeks ago it was just family I invited him. He said sure let me check with my wife. I called him at 7pm the time of the reservation and he said sorry they weren't coming. I can think of a few other times too.
I sent him a text today after not responding for a few days saying sorry I hadn't responded to you but this is how I feel. I find it really hard for you not to even call or text me when you make plans. He responded with it's fine we only get to see each other once a year. I never said I was coming to your dinner It was wrong for you to make that call. The icing on the cake was WHEN YOU GET MARRIED AND SEE HOW LIFE IS YOU WILL GET IT
What say the green screen?
