We've known and been best friends for 11 years. A lot of history and friendship I just don't want to turn my back on. But he can be real selfish lately and keeps putting me in messed up situations, especially at work. I have been working at this company for over a year there and have earned a rep there quick. People love me and I enjoy what I do and that I do my job well. I have so much pull there that I was able to get my g*y best friend, who is in the same profession, and I brought him into my company on another team. My company is very g*y friendly and have a few people working there in different jobs. When I brought him on board I made him promise not to fool around with our co-workers, which he promised, because he has fooled around with former co-workers at past jobs and it always blows up in his face. A couple months on a trip to our home office, he fooled around with one g*y co-worker and then with another g*y co-worker/friend who is crazy needy and bipolar. I know my best friend. He'll lose interest and move on. And my co-worker will act become manic depressive, he's already started acting like that when my friend ignores him, and has blamed me on more than one occassion. Now my best friend just sent me text messages telling me he fooled around with one of my supervisors, and that I owed him, because "everyone loves me now because of him". He kept saying that. And to top it all, we're going to be roommates for the next year. Now I'm an open minded guy. Shoot, I'm a straight male, have friends of many sexualities and ethnicities. But I think he's stupid and a jerk. 1) I bring him in the company, and now he claims credit for my success? I usually pull his fat from the fire. 2) He fooled around with 3 co-workers (that i know of) who are in commited relationships, which have caused me to lose respect for them because I know their significant others. He's even told me he plans to bring them by the apartment after we move in together. I don't need to see one of my supervisors or co-workers like that! 3) I've lost so much respect for him because of how he has been acting. I feel like in the last 3 months, I don't even know him. And when I get pissed at him, he keeps trying to dismiss it, but I think he's being a S****y friend. 4) His stupidity caused another friendship of mine, someone we both have known for 11 years as well, to break up because he told her something about me (mistakenly) that wasn't true.
I don't know how to react anymore. In the past 3 months, all he has done is caused me trouble. I've lost a longtime friend because of him. And he has put me in an alkward situation at work because these guys know that I know he fooled around with them. So they are alkward around me, which causes me to feel alkward around them. Now I don't even know if I want to be roommates or friends anymore because I feel like he doesn't give a d**n about anyone but him and his "little me".
