I am angry with my friend! I actually have no time for him any more! Any advice?

    Well to begin with we're both male! We around18/19!
    Over the past year I have started to drift apart from a guy that I was friends with from my childhood. We used always have little fights but I have really lost my patients with him lately.
    He really thinks he is funny by messing! For example
    If I asked him the homework he would give me the wrong stuff and when we were doing our pres he was told to collect the papers and he took pages out of my paper just so I would lose marks!
    He also found my brother was gay he tried to kill himself and he spread the rumor around because it was meant to be funny! After this I really cut ties with him I moved away from him in classes and rarely spoke to him!
    This guy only ever rings me if he wants something and I often used ring him but I have given up! This is what is really after pushing me over the edge with this guy! A local girl died in a crash recently and we were all recently shocked and he rang me and said whats the gossip did you hear about ***** I said ya! He then proceded to say was she speeding, drink driving was she wearing a seat belt! It was really sick the way he was talking! It was like he was getting a buzz out of it! I was really worried about my other best friend because I thought he might have being in car! He wasn't tough this guy was like who else was in the car! I said then I had no intetion of telling him and he should respect people more! He thought this was mean! Any advice? Should I just forget about him?

    Do you have any particularly nasty secrets on him?
    Time to make them exponentially more awful and tell everyone.

    Then cut all ties.

    Cut all ties with him.

    Don't bother with revenge, it's to likely to come back and bite you in the ass.

    Just block him out.

    What an ass he is. He's at an age where he should know better than to do and say the things you've described. Some people become nicer as they make their way through their teens and grow up. Others - well, just look at your friend.

    I think the best thing to do is just to cut contact with him. No grand gestures or stooping down to his level. Just ignore his calls and texts, don't ring him or hang around with him. Let the penny drop with him that he has lost a friend.

    Dont spread rumours, OP, or secrets, you'll just stoop to his level and if he's as bad with gossip as you say he is, he'll go out of his way to keep it going if you start a gossip war with him, and as you said, you want clear of it.

    Just cut ties completely, and if he asks why, just be honest as you have been here.

    Definitely cut ties, if he's not completely self absorbed he'll ask why you are doing this. Just try to give an honest answer without getting too agressive

    1) He is not your 'friend'

    2) He is a little arsehole.

    3) tell him to fúck off.

    No question here-cut all ties.

    Ignore him and cut him out of your life, there is no need to have people like that around you, bringing you down and causing you grief. You are most likely not the only one who feels this way about the guy-take it into your own hands and get rid. Maybe one day he will come around and realise what an ass he was, maybe not.

    No rumours, no gossip. Just ignore.

    hey there, wow who needs enemys with friends like him!!!!!

    just a thought but life is way to short to be wasting time on people like this guy. He will learn soon enough, time will show him lesons in life that his game playin or watever he is at wont get him far.

    Sounds like he is a bit jelous anyway. Nothing good comes from jelousy

    Just do what i do....
    take a step back, dont answer phone to him, txt him back the next day or wait hours later. when he says oh i called you last nite, just say it was on silet bla bla bla

    This way, your not the bad guy, and eventualy he will drift out of your life. Dont ask him for anything, or get him to do anything for you. You have learned, if he says oh il do that for you, all you have to say is oh like last time and laugh it off.

    First thing to do is stop thinkin about him... he obviously not thinking about you if he so cold hearted.

    Make room for the keepers, the ones who you keep in your life, that you would do anything for them without a thought. If he wants to be in your life then let him earn that back again.

    Chin up

    Stay away from him. You are not a doormat. Everything that IrishEyes19 in particualar has said is good advice. Choose to forgive him (you'll need to ask for help with this - no-one can forgive on their own - as the saying goes, "To err is human; to forgive, divine").

    Best wishes!
