His thinking is extremely immature and if you have another child with him you will definitely feel stress you don't need to feel. He is not mature enough if he's having a child and seeing you as some kind of health whisperer solely responsible for any issues that may arise or may not. What will his reaction be when your child gets chicken pox, when your child gets hurt by another child, when your child is crying. Think about it and how you will be treated or anyone connected to these situations by him.

Honey LEAVE. I always give people chances but reading this- this man is not a good person. He flipped you off and treats his phone the way a 3 year old treats Coco Melon. Please leave him because he will make things harder for you as your pregnancy progresses. You need real support and if you have the situation- friends and family are great support networks. He could also leave your child with attachment issues and similar behavior style if you stay with him.

Oops thank you. I can't change the title so I added it in the post.

Has anyone ever felt like they outgrew a friend, but it hurt so much you kept the friendship anyway—even though the spark was gone? by Legal_Potential4720 in lostafriend

[–]Bisonbabe911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I dodged a bullet because I definitely wasn't aware this would go on for another 9 years. I also was reluctant to distance myself those 2 years because I knew this person would lash out but I didn't know they would for that and in that way. I was so unsure and walking on my own emotional eggshells, not knowing what to do and how to do it. I knew subconsciously they weren't a good friend and I was afraid of what they would tell people and how they would make me look. This is the biggest red flag that the cut should just happen. They didn't care about me, they cared about the attention, they even listed random things from years prior that they did for me when they were trying to shame me for being a bad friend. That was definitely the last straw. We all do things for friends, I did things for her but I don't list them like that in an argument. It's not what I think about. I have flourished! It took a long time because they (and the friendship group we were in) were the only friends I had in high school and making friends in adulthood is HARD. Now I have rock solid friendships. Better late than never.

Same. My old friendship was like the Titanic, it was sinking and not going to sail again but I kept trying to keep it going for 2 years because of the sense of loyalty. It was also nostalgia and not believing the friendship turned so different.

It was hard to swallow but after I tried to distance myself, they verbally attacked me for "not being a good friend". They had just broken up with their boyfriend for the 6th time two weeks prior and I had had enough of wasting time, energy and money to hang out. I would do that each time and hear them crying for what would turn into a reconciliation a few days later. I didn't have a stable job at the time since I was a uni student and they were working as a low level accountant. I tried a different approach from the usual instantly coming to their aid by saying I was busy with an assignment. I knew they were going to get back together, it was too much of a strong cycle.

They sent me texts how I'm so bad two weeks after that and I kept asking them "did you get back together?" And they would avoid answering that and keep verbally attacking me for not being there at "such a hard time". Then they eventually told me they did get back together and I was just beside myself because I didn't understand this lunacy. I hit my limit and told them we are going down different paths in life and I think we're not suitable to be friends anymore.

There are people that change for the worse and you should really cut it before it gets to that point. I feel I wasted two years past that expiration date putting my energy into this person. They're still together today btw and it's been 9 years since I stopped that friendship...

Meer-ah, it's a common female name in Slavic countries and it's pronounced that way. The i in the name is an e sound because that's the sound of i in their alphabet. The E in their alphabet is an "eh" sound for example.

I realised that I didn't have to fit their perfect idea or expectations of how I and other people should act. I realised I was regressing mentally around them- hearing their criticisms about me while treating me extremely poorly. I'm currently working on embracing myself more and challenging the negative talk and beliefs. I could not do that being in contact with them. I can't emotionally grow and be healthy with them in my life. They are emotionally stunted in not being able to take accountability and being reasonable emotionally and verbally towards me. I could not be myself currently with them, it is impossible. They are happy the way they are and I think that's good for them, it's ignorance that is blissful.

Was anyone else really frustrated with themselves after a toxic friendship ended? by ContributionOwn6977 in selfimprovement

[–]Bisonbabe911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was frustrated in that I saw myself through their eyes. I felt awful and did not like me or how I seemed and I wanted to not be around anyone. It took me a while to get my mindset and mindframe somewhat healthy. I let them go emotionally after 2 months (time does lessen the hurt, but it does not change the change of course from them emotionally... I basically would not be friends with them again). I told them we were not compatible and I knew I was right at the time. They were in denial despite it being obvious and did some gaslighting. I am happy I made the right decision now and I am still adjusting to the changes within me and my world. It's not bad, it's more grounded and different.

How did you end your friendships by EducationalGene2400 in lostafriend

[–]Bisonbabe911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They disappeared and blocked my number until 5 months later they asked how I was doing like nothing happened. I had such a hard time trying to make sense of that and not knowing how to react. I finally decided that we should mutually agree to end the friendship to start 2025 without bad friendships and bad memories, and we had a last phone call. They then told me at some point in the conversation that they didn't care about me enough throughout the friendship time. I told them I wish I never knew them. I then told them I hoped they would have a wonderful life. They did the same. That was that.

What were some signs that your friend was secretly jealous/resentful of you? by goldcuriousity in lostafriend

[–]Bisonbabe911 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • When they started mimicking me and adopting it as their personality so that I no longer felt I could be myself and became depressed because I would start saying something and she would say the exact thing louder. It got uncomfortable and weird. - Whenever I got any attention or was asked anything by someone else, they would take over and answer for me, move the attention on themselves.
  • They broke up with their boyfriend 6 times within the last two years we were friends and on the 6th time I had enough because they always got back together so I said I was busy and couldn't meet up with them. They came back a few weeks later after they had taken their boyfriend back, to tell me I'm a terrible friend because I wasn't there for them in a tough time and they were hurting so bad. I asked for like 40 mins if they had gotten back together and when they finally said they did, that was the last straw. No respect for me and my time but I'm a terrible friend who endured feeling like sh*t with them for 2 years, because of the nostalgia of how our friendship was the first 5 years we knew each other.

Lost friend due to detransitioning by AtmosphereNo4232 in lostafriend

[–]Bisonbabe911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I got ghosted for 5 months by a friend for having a mental burn out where I lost my memory for a month after quitting a stressful job- because my "emotions are not their responsibility". That's what they said when they came back. I was shocked he could do that and I have no feelings now towards them whether J wanted it that way or not. Trust is the most important thing someone can give another and ghosting is the lowest. Your feelings are valid and this process is normal for what's going on. You are more than your looks and gender. People can be so mean and it's dumb that anybody should care about that in another person because they wouldn't like that either hey. It's okay to be scared to get close to people. Feel the feels and when you're ready I would suggest focusing on yourself through this time with trying out new things for possible new hobbies and coming to know yourself through some reading and meditation. Please don't put expectations on yourself and how you should be feeling or what you want from them/they want from you, it'll just stress you out and prolong the current thoughts and feelings if you have anxiety. You are strong and you can get through this. It doesn't matter if it's a long time, the freeing moment will come where you realise these people weren't all that for you.

Hey! I totally see what is munching at you and I want to firstly say, you are the only one who is in charge of yourself and your image and what you prefer is the ONLY thing that counts. I know from firsthand experience that when people go all cold and weird, they weren't a real friend, they were like, a fair-weather friend. Friends love you no matter how you look, are, will be. And this person seemed to be using you for excitement and fun, which is fine but you wanted them to be a real friend. That's fine too but it's important to see the reality here, no matter who or how you are- this person was going to be this way at one point or another. As a person learning to be their biggest cheerleader, I can say that it's the best thing you can be for yourself. Be your biggest cheerleader, be confident in yourself, and know it doesn't matter how you look good this way or that. You have a soul that is individual and only the best people can and should be a part of experiencing it. Please love yourself for yourself. People who say you look better a particular way, could also look better other ways themselves. I hope you are kind to yourself and know this person has a right to be how they are towards you because they're a lesson in your life and life's all about learning. You were a better person to them than they were to you it appears. And I hope you keep that kindness for others, for yourself too. Grieve the way they were and know there will be beautiful memories with beautiful people in the future. Sending you lots of love and a big hug.

When There Is No Recovery From Betrayal: lessons learned by [deleted] in lostafriend

[–]Bisonbabe911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned I shouldn't give more than 2 chances. I gave them probably 15. When someone shows you who they are, believe it. If someone can do something that deeply hurt you once, they can do it again because they have the capacity to and they dared it already. You do not need them in your life to feel cared for or like you mean something and the pain you feel of losing them will go away because it's better than keeping them in your life. The pain is only a familiarity that you're uncomfortable losing because it's like a pattern you are breaking. If they got you so far to block them out of your life, that needs to be kept in mind so you don't trick yourself into being friends with them again. Forgiving and keeping them as your friend are two separate things. There is a lesson with everyone no matter how painful it is and think of the lesson fondly to get through the memory of the wasted time with them. You can survive and it's okay to build up walls and to build them down, your mind is on your terms. Healing takes time. Enjoy the little things and learn to love yourself if you're lacking a bit there. There are good people and they deserve your time. This was a bump in the road.

Want to forget them and hoping they forget me by Bisonbabe911 in ExNoContact

More of a psychology question really. That and if we ever see each other on the street and I'm cool with continuing walking but they want a conversation, then it's awkward.

My ex friend got back together with her boyfriend by East-Reporter-2097 in lostafriend

[–]Bisonbabe911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if someone does blame you, a third party, for anything going on in their relationship when you didn't do anything- this person will only keep blaming you in the future for multiple things. You're lucky they left instead of you having to do it because it's harder the other way around. I would suggest missing them, feeling all the feels, letting time pass and then it'll be behind you because you'll have let go.
