Hello all,
I had another post some time back names the same: friendship gone wrong
Long short story: i had a best friend over the 3 years and i was a people pleaser by heart
He had/has a loooot of problems, mostly in romantic relationship. I was there everytime, offering support, listening to hours of stories.
He admitted that i helped him a lot to ho through these tough times and i am happy to hear this…
But
It was exhausting
He was getting upset very often of simple things , feeling that he is not taken into consideration even though i was always including as much as i could…
And i began to be tired of listening to complaints everyday…. coffee is bad, day is bad, relationship is bad, this is not good, that is not wow…
I started having boundaries and now from talking everyday we barely talk ( but coming from him, i still asked “how are u” everyday and when i stopped, he stopped as well)
Now i still have struggles to think if i should check on him, if he is ok, etc…
But at the same time i feel like it’s from my side only
He was (is?) A food friend, listening when i need etx
But i am just tired. I was feeling too responsible for him to be good.
Am i a bad person for being happy we don’t discuss anymore? And not checking on him…
I feel somehow guilty.
Thanks!!!
