I was his only friend. Other friends had ghosted him and now I know why. No boundaries and depended on me for all of his social outlet. It was too much.
Not only did I want to end the friendship, I did end it.

He revels in being a source of chaos, wallows in crude and socially-unacceptable behavior, and thinks that other people react badly to it all because they're jealous that he "does what he wants." There was a string of incidents, and finally it was just too exhausting to stay connected to him. Sad part of it was that when we first met, he was funny and puckish but not a jacka*s. His divorce messed him up and added an edge of destructiveness to it all.

He was my childhood best friend. I went to the military, and he became a m**h addict. When I got out of the military, I realized he was involved in stuff I wanted no part in. I let his family know about his drug problems since I was close with them. The only time I spoke with him after that was the day he got out of prison.

He slept with to many of my ex's, one being while I still had feelings for her, while he continously cheated on gf/wife (now). If he can't respect the girl he claims to love he sure as hell hasn't and won't respect me.

So with me... I came to find out he didn't really support anything positive I was doing or accomplishing. I realized this was a bitter person who didn't actually want me to be happy because he wasn't.

He got hyper political and just became a drag to be around because he tried to steer every conversation back to it.

Letting his depression and insecurities run wild. Making everything a competition that would weigh on his self esteem most of the time. Just a lot of stuff like that.
