Am I better off without this friend?

[Outcry]

I was good friend with this guy for 7 years before he decided to start hanging about with this douche alot more.

This other doucebag who hates my guts then decides that he is going to make my friend his best man at his wedding so everytime me and this guy got into a argument obviously my friend now knows he can't really side with me.

Soon as the announcment was made my friend started going cold and he witnessed me and this douche have one argument and after that he just stopped calling me like 2 or 3 months later.

I will admit that when we were going out I used to be drunk alot and my friend couldn't keep up with my drinking but this douche really made a big deal about my drinking which made my friend uncomfortable and it wasn't needed because we had good times and I only had a handful of nights where I was too drunk.

I havent seen him in a year and he has badmouthed me about my depression and called me "crazy" and stuff. I do still remember the good times and feel sad that we don't speak now. What can I do?

Just walk away. This isn't a good situation.

He's clearly not a good friend and not one that's worth keeping. If I made a new friend but the guy was talking crap about any of my other friends I would not only take up for my friends (and possibly kick his ass depending on how serious the situation was/if he's a big dude) but I wouldn't be cool with that person anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I've had friends that didn't get along with each other but they didn't sit there and talk crap about each other in front of me or even have anything to do with each other. Just find a new friend homie.

Yeah I guess I have to just learn to forget the good times.

The only reason I made this thread was me and the guy only had 2 argument in all of those years and then he just stopped bothering me....it's like WTF is that.

If you have to ask, the answer is probably yes.

[Bob Schlapowitz]

Yup. f*** this guy.

It's all part of evolution. Every year since I graduated in 2007, the number of 2007 grad friends I regularly talk to dwindles every year until as of right now I only talk to one girl every now and then on facebook.

This guy is nobody's friend. If he was an ice cream flavor, he'd be pralines and dick.
