Double standards with friends

No-one is perfect, we ALL have our flaws. I take a long time to reach the point where I consider someone a friend through thick and thin, whatever they do, there for them when they need a friend, defend them when they behave badly, but here’s the double standard – the day they bite ME on the bum, suddenly that’s unforgivable!

How do you react when a friend lets you down in a way, major or minor, you’ve always defended when they did it to others? They haven't changed, after all. Still the flawed but likeable person they always were. You're just suddenly seeing it differently ...

His new girlfriend wanted to absolutely meet me (he said ehem, he probably dropped my name a couple of times in conversation) and unfortunately I only met her once so far. I would have hated to have anything happen to our friendship, but would have understood. She is nice, pretty and down to earth and I like her, shame that they don't go out a lot (not that I'm going out that often anymore). We always talked a lot on the phone anyway and keep that going. Himself likes him as well (and vice versa).

Glad it worked out with the new squeeze, it would have been a shame to loose a friend.

Enjoy your Sunday, going to fix blinds, powerwash and drill on my outside walls now. sigh
I never had a friend let me down but it was three of my older siblings so I decided to cut out all the drama and disowned them.
