Fall out with a friend - thoughts?

Tork

Maybe he thought bringing his backpack around the exhibition, while wearing a mask would be ok. That was, until he got there and found it to be too much. If he had been looking forward to attending this, he will have been pissed off and disappointed at how things panned out. I'm not excusing him for his behaviour, just trying to make sense of it. It was a long trip for nothing and that may have still been irritating him when you got to the toll booths.

It's possible that at this stage, he's not eager to rekindle this friendship and that having that spat suited him.

@witchgirl26 I was just surprised about the tolls - and then when I didn't agree he had a fit.. I had humoured him all day - no more.. that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me! and I have had to humour him loads in the past..

I guess, had I humoured him about the tolls it would be like giving him the message that he can behave how he wants, like the way he did at the exhibit... that would not make for a healthy friendship - he should respect my feelings and opinions too - its two way..

And he knows all the trauma etc I have had in my life over the last 18 mths.. one would expect better from a friend - not to be called annoying when no need for it.

I posted here to get others thoughts - most are full of assumptions etc.. but the thread has allowed me to process it all - job done..

As for the rest - read my initial post - seems you didn't

You're playing catch-up here. I've since read that post and replied!

If he was driving and went to the wrong booth then why was he asking why ye could not try and avoid tolls when driving?

Sporina you have posted in Relationship Issues looking for advice PI/RI being an advice forum. Posters have taken time out of their day to offer advice to you. It may or may not be relevant, only you can decide that but often when you post on a public forum you get a broad spectrum of responses and you have to take that into account.

As you are happy that you have resolved your issue I will close the thread there.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice.
