    A mutual friend of ours got into an argument with him because he made some new friends at his local pub and was buying pints for them left, right and centre. He took serious offence to the suggestion that they were using him for his money (he got about £120k in inheritance after his mum died) and cut both of us off, even though I never said anything to him.

    I don’t want to elaborate on his backstory but he had a lot of mental health problems and past trauma. After a lot of bad things happened a few years ago, he decided that he was done with life and vowed not to outlive his cats. Have tried to talk him out of it but he’s set on ending his own life after his cats pass away.

    I presume he’s still alive, but I can’t get in touch with him as he nuked his phone number and blocked me on all socials.

    I used to have an online friend who never really texts me first unless I do. Since they’re a leftie, I wished them on Happy Left-handers Day and they replied that I don’t need to wish them, which I only did to spark some conversation. This put me off and I went “Alr I won’t bother texting you ever” and they went “Ok”.

    Haven’t texted them in 3 months, neither did they (as they don’t ever). Idk who is the idiot here, me, she or both.

    I don’t really like ending friendships from my side, so I might text them on her birthday and see how it goes.

    I bought tickets for a concert for us both provided she drive. She never showed up and didn’t answer her phone or anything but was somehow mad at me a few days later.

    Lost all my friends every couple years growing up thanks to the US military moving us around. Do not recommend.

    Got a great dad out of the situation though so I’m not bitter. Much.

    I canceled on the biweekly DnD session because it was scheduled for Halloween and I had plans. Told him a little last minute (day before when I realized).

    Dude torpedoed our 10 year friendship over that.

    My best friend and I suggested online that maybe this friend of ours stop using “gay” as an insult (this was around 2009 or so) and he and his girlfriend became adamantly defensive and mean. When they implied that my best friend was molesting his beloved dog just to be assholes, I just cut the cord and walked away. They were idiots anyway.

    Fun fact: the girlfriend was, and is, a huge “do good” volunteer advocacy leader. So, you know, help each other out, but don’t get in the way of my homophonic slurs.

      I mean, if my friends knew I was a huge fan of the band, were going and weren’t like, tickets are £50, do you want one? It would sting.

          I did realise that it’s a specific situation but as the original post didn’t have more context, I didn’t see why I shouldn’t be allowed to suggest some.

          If OP wants to expand on the situation, they’re welcome to.
