About a month ago, I was into the Whiskey and looking for reasons (excuses) to dive deeper into the abyss. I texted a friend while drunk and asked him why he had put me down in front of some people we were golfing with. He's super competitive and does this to mess with me because he knows I don't like it. It didn't really set well with me however I didn't say anything at the time. Mistake one. Mistake two was texting while drunk asking him why he felt it was necessary to put me down in front of a group of strangers. He asked if I was drinking Whiskey and I said yes. He basically texted back the he was sorry I feel bad. I sent him a text the next day saying that I was sorry for acting like a victim and was embarrassed by the whole thing. The last response I got was "I'm done with this conversation.".
This is someone that I've known for 40 years and helped me after my father died. We've been through a lot and I haven't heard anything from him. I'm to the point where I feel like dropping by his house to make sure he's okay. I haven't gotten any responses to texts about anything; wishing him a happy Thanksgiving, etc.

If u were my friend I would have responded back asking for the fade. If I saw you in person I'd take my shirt off and square up to knock the the fuck out [Reply]
And as for arguing with guy friends, no one apologizes. Give it 11 days and then text something about football. They'll respond and you're back to normal. [Reply]

JFC, I love my boring life of working from home and watching sports at home. :-)
nah, nah nah. My bro in law and the homie he knocked out didnt talk to each other for two months and the homie stopped coming around.
But now everything is good again. My point being to Crazy that, you can even knock a friend out in a drunken fight and with a little time, shit will work itself out. [Reply]

Ain't that the truth. I believe he really meant to upset me because I was kicking his ass. I played in a friendly match with his son and son-in-law; his son got lessons early and has one of those sweet swings where the ball just goes boom off the club. Of course, it was old vs young and when his son would blast one, I would tell him nice one. My friend just glared at me.
I'm very competitive however I don't resort to trash talk or insults in an attempt to win. If someone is better than me, then I accept it and try to get better. [Reply]

Well, my house flooded and I sent him a text saying I needed his help. Nothing but silence. I guess we are done. I think I need to change my expectations around my friends, or those people who I think are my friends. Politics has ruined a lot of relationships in the past two years and this guy is a liberal loving Democrat that wouldn't go around anyone who wasn't vaccinated. He's a good NPC that expect the government to take care of him [Reply]
