MissTrudy Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I have been a little emotional lately b/c of a breakup but I am keeping it together pretty well for my friends. I went out to dinner with two sets of couples tonight (talk about awkward hahaha) and it was fun but my friend's boyfriend (who I also consider a friend) said something that was a little inappropriate to me. I did a favor for him a few months ago and I made a joke about how if I do it again he has to pay me, but I used an incorrect term to describe the payment. After I realized the blunder and corrected myself, he (in a completely serious tone) called me an idiot and went off about how I don't know anything about finances until my friend (his gf) told him to stop it and the rest of us sort of make a joke out of it and then someone changed the topic. But it was really inappropriate, like the joke I made had nothing to do with his character or anything, and I was caught off guard because he's always been very nice to me it just sort of came out of nowhere and it was a douche bag move. I am kind of pissed about it but am I overreacting? should I let it go? He's been going through a rough time recently (his father just died and he himself has a cold right now) and my other friends (the other couple) commented that he was being weird tonight, so maybe I should just brush it aside? I am not used to being disrespected like that though.
TaraMaiden Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 The fact that others called him out on it and came to your defence, really should be sufficient for you to put this into perspective. He shot his mouth off and got hauled up for it by others. Making jokes about it was a way to diffuse the embarrassment they felt at his crass stupidity. Try to let it go. It's possible he will apologise to you another time anyway, but even if he doesn't, he's been put in his place. Focus on that, not him. 2
