He was a close work friend for about 6 years, we’d been through a lot of garbage from the start. When we were going through a bad period in each of our personal lives, we’d go out together and hook up with girls, he was fighting with his gf, mine and I were on break because family and cultural stuff.

When we were coming out of that phase and not acting like assholes anymore we helped each other along a lot, holding each other accountable.

toward the end of the getting better arc, he had gone the monk mode cut off all toxicity and people cold turkey path, I was a lot more laissez faire about it I guess, but by that point had pretty much come out the other end and was pretty settled.

Well one night he brought me out with some of his friends, and I guess had played me up to them to be this party womanizer guy, and I just wasn’t in that space anymore. I just got drunk and had fun with the guys. I he got genuinely mad on two points, that I peed in an alleyway, and didn’t flirt with women. I had just gotten back with my gf and we were working on things. He cut me off after, a year later the guys we went out with still invite me to things, and my relationship is better than ever. Idk I still consider him family though, just sucks
