I hopped on my phone after a nice night out to see a friend of 15 years have a drunken sperg out and leave a group chat with people who’ve known him at least as long. He got dumped in 2024 and has not been able to go 24 hours without crying that his ex is an evil two faced thot. Someone else says they went on an awkward date? He writes an essay about how he suspects his ex was lying about the reasons she ended it. Someone else got a raise? Women only go out with him for dinner, not because they’re considering dating him (he makes a very average salary for a white collar guy in the city he moved to, and a straight up bad one accounting for his degree and experience).
He didn’t even seem to like her when they were together. He was constantly whining about her chudly opinions and saying he only stayed with her for sex. When someone 2% more neurotypical told him he was TMI’ing all over the place he would get pissy—sex is an important part of life therefore he gets to overshare. Say he’s speaking very disrespectfully about his SO? Well you’re being shitty man, I’m allowed to discuss my feelings! Imagine a Redditor doing the weaponized therapy speak thing.
Seems that he got told that he’s being weird and needs to move on one too many times, so he flipped out, went on a rant about how he’s quitting therapy and medication cold turkey because they just numb him to the fact that everyone, especially her, betrays and abuses him, and left. I’m kind of worried about the ex girlfriend, because it’s not normal for a 33 year old to be this fixated on an ex, and he’s talking like a crazy person.
These are people I know irl, too. Before the pandemic I hung out with this guy 3 times a week. Dude knew my parents, met girlfriends of mine, and vice versa. I’m bummed he turned into a massive faggot.
