Geekbabe speaks the truth. :thumbsup:

Yep, I once was friends with this guy (I call him little b1tch now). But after a while, all he wanted was rides to his other friends place and would call me if I had any food for him. He was a cheap ass and thought that he had the looks. So I decided to take his picture and put it on hotornot.com (low score) ... Then I told his dumbass to get lost.

There will be many people in life that do this. The trick is figuring out whether you want to continue going on with that particular relationship. Other than that, life moves on, and you have no choice but to put yourself out there, even if it hurts in the end. Once a spectacular, unselfish person comes along, you'll be amazed by his/her generosity and kindness.

Been there. It was very painful but receded with the passage of time. While we of course do not know the particulars of the situation, the best thing to do is to objectively look at the cost/benefit analysis of the relationship. Are you getting as much out of it as you're putting in? If not, say goodbye. Life is too short to be wasted on those who don't really care about you.

Oh...the most important thing. People don't change. Someone can swear up and down that it'll never happen again, but if you've been grossly disrespected once forgiveness will just give them a clear "I'll be forgiven, time for more of the same" signal. Good luck to the both of you.

Meh. A post without story and details. It had potential too. Sorry about the discovery though. Stuff like that does suck.

You already gave it away. You might want to edit your post "... not gonna go there".

One of my best friends pretty much just cares about himself. He is a real asshole alot of times, and always talks as if he can kick everybody's ass. He also lies alot, I usually dont believe 95% of the stuff he says. He needs a real ass kicking.

Yes, about 13 years ago.

It really sucks but you try to heal old wounds and move on.

 

[ohtwell]

I've had it happen once, and I think it negatively affects the way I interact with people now. Don't let it affect you that way. Keep being the sweet trusting person that you are. I'm sure the other friends you have are not the same way, and you can't assume that they are or that future friends will be.

[mrrman]

yes I did, built 2 friends a PC each and they said they would pay me monthly and now I am taking them to court...what a friends for...

 

[Bateluer]

Been there, done that. Don't keep in contact with them anymore. Not worth the headaches.

 

[Swag1138]

Ive been used, stabbed in the back, and left for dead (figuratively) by a friend before.

I am now a bitter, sarcastic, cynical ass.

Oh well.

 

[NFS4]

Ahh, you wouldn't give up teh bootay!!??

Screw him!

 

[psiu]

Yep. It sucks.....but happens.

Kind of the price you pay for being a nice person. Just be careful to not let the bitterness consume you.

Bitterness leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to the dark side.
The dark side leads to galactic domina.......oops, what was I saying?

Be happy

I once had a friend who used and backstabbed me. We use to hang around a couple girls that he met through me. I'd figure I would date one and he, the other. He manipulated the situation and now I don't see any of them again. It was obvious he wanted a shot at both of them.

 

[BlamoHammer]

Yep, it happened to me about a year and a half ago. My "friend" had just broken up with her boyfriend and had nowhere to go and so I said she could crash on my couch for as long as she needed. Everything was peachy keen until a few weeks after she found her own place. We hung out far more infrequently and eventually she stopped returning calls.

One day I happened to be near her work so I stopped by to see her. She predictably acted like nothing had ever changed and came up as if she was going to give me a hug. I stepped back and told her that I wasn't there to say hi, that instead I just wanted to make it clear that she no longer meant anything to me and would be best served to forget that I exist should she find herself in trouble again.

The look on her face was priceless.
