One of my guy friends keeps telling me to give this other guy a chance. I don't want to, because it's a waste of time. I got fed up this time and told him that the only way I'd give this guy a chance is if he goes back to his ex. He got really quiet and the mood changed. He became withdrawn and excused himself from later plans that day. I don't really know the extent of how that relatIonship ended. I spoke to one his friends and he shrugged iT off. Did I go too far?
I communicated multiples times on many ocassions how much I hate the guy, but he just keeps teasing me and encouraging me to give him a chance. 🤮 I told my girlfriends too and they're like yeah it's nothing lol
FDS I want to hear your opinion about this.
Did I cross a boundary?
This so called friend wants to see the light in your eyes extinguished by some LVM, since it can't be him. They really seem to get off on that. I can tell this one does because you've said you hate him (in many ways on multiple occasions) and his response is to tease and goad you some more, meaning he loves that for you.
When you presented the hipocrisy of his behavior in a way he couldnt argue, he shut down like an ornery child.
This man is not your friend and does not care about your well being, period. Also know that cOmMuniCatiOn never works with them, only cutting them off. Do not waste your time.
You didn't cross a boundary, you dished out the same disrespect he gave you. NEver ever feel bad for putting men in place, the fact that he got quiet or might feel offended is nobodies fault but his.
He should have known better than dishing out what he can't take. A true friend would never ask you to give a dude a chance, they respect your decision not to.
Don't feel sorry, don't ever feel it's your fault, he was the one who crossed the line first.
People will downvote me but I will forever say that Men and Women cannot be friends. And they shouldn’t be hanging out together as buddies. Maybe I’m too traditional? Of course Being polite and respectful towards someone is different and should be the norm…
OP, you did not go too far. And please do not blame yourself for his reaction if you are…plus, you have no idea wtf happened between him and his ex so you were not purposely being annoying (like he was).
Basically OP, you’re good. Don’t fret about this at all.
Do you really want to be friends with this guy friend? Friends are supposed to have your best interests at heart. This guy is pressuring you to give a guy you're not interested in a chance, presumably because he cares more about another man than he does about you and your welbeing. I repeat, what are you actually getting out of this friendship? I don't bother with male friends anymore and I have to say, that decision has removed so much stress from my life.
He crossed a boundary multiple times by telling you to go back to your ex. All you did was give him a taste of his own medicine. Why are you friends with someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart?
Why are men obsessed with women giving OTHER men chances
Your "friend" has known you enough that you've told him you aren't interested in the dude. And yet he still kept pushing you - HE crossed the line by not actually listening to you and pushing your boundary.
