I am always amazed at the way people will cling to friendships that are so obviously toxic (I guess I can relate - I clung to a marriage that was toxic). Perhaps that's a way to look at it - remember all the times when you looked at people's relationships and thought, "why does he/she stay with that psycho hosebag?"

My hubby just got fired by his "best friend". The guy called him up last Thursday and reamed him out over the phone for over an hour, accusing him of always complaining, of not being willing to work alone, of not appreciating the friend and what he does. All of which is untrue. Hubby was destroyed - I had to live with this moody mess for about 5 days until "friend" called back.

I could overhear the conversation and knew from what I heard that hubby was indeed out of work. Yet he was talking and laughing like it was all okay. After he hung up, he "explained" that his friend had been stressed out because his business was failing and that he'd laid off several other guys as well. :wtf:

I asked if he'd apologized - no, he hadn't. "He's under a lot of stress."

Is that an excuse to treat a friend like shit? What the hell kind of friend is that? This is not the first time this moran has behaved like this yet hubby got pissed at ME for being angry!

This is a wake up call for you. This guy is NO friend.
