Losing a good friend - is it worth trying to reconcile?

A non COVID or BLM/racial thread - woohoo!

Lately I've kinda used this forum as a soundboard for things going on in my life. The healthy mix of sarcasm, realism, and jackassery is pretty refreshing.

I had to cut off a really good friend of mine on Saturday as I finally had enough of his BS. Ever since I ended my relationship with my girlfriend of 3 years back in January, he has acted sketchy at best and apathetic at worst. He has become a part of the group of friends that she is a part of, and sadly has treated me as an afterthought. He never asks me to do anything anymore, and any time I invite him out or over he makes an excuse or doesn't reply.

This is pretty sad as I was best friends with the guy for the better part of 5 years. I'm not sure if he just decided to align himself with her/her group of friends or if other factors have led to this falling out, but I told him that I was done being his friend if he was going to continue acting the way he has towards me. He never replied to that text.

Is this worth an attempt to reconcile maybe 2 weeks or so down the road, or should I just move on? Again, we were best friends for the better part of 5 years. It's hard to swallow losing someone like that.

Bro, sounds like he dumped you, and you are just realizing it.

You didn't dump him.

Move on. Sucks.

Well you can’t go back now. Delete him from your phone and ignore him if you ever see him again.

Scruffy bets that he is trying to get with the girl you dumped.

Because he’s trying to get with your ex.

He’ll either start fricking her, if he isn’t already, or in a couple weeks he’ll apologize.

Could it be because he wants your gf?

I should've clarified - he's not fricking her, she has a new boyfriend.

People change, people drift apart. It's probably more front and center in light of your recent breakup. If you were focused on a relationship or were further down the road from this with a new/solid group of friends, it probably wouldn't seem as severe.

Do an honest assessment of whether you're overreacting or being reasonable, and if it's the later, you're simply standing up for yourself and getting on with your life. You'll probably reconnect later, maybe not as best friends, but at that point you may be at a different stage of life and you can turn the page/get on with it in a way that doesn't sit so negatively with you.

Kind of sounds like he had already beaten you to the punch here

If he didn't respond to the text, he wasn't as good a friend as you thought. Move on

He's probably banging your ex.

Sounds like he wasn't much of a friend anyway.
Time to move on.

FIFY!


He's pounding your ex on a daily basis -- at least 3 times a day as she tells him how much better he is than you.

Doesn't necessarily mean he's still not fricking her
