What should I do about a friend who always lets me down?

Question

I really need to say goodbye to a friend that constantly lets me down...do i a) Not waste my breath explaining why (I have told him loads of times before) and just ignore him b) tell him exactly why I am saying bye c) Give him one more chance.

I'm also not sure if I should block him on MSN or would it be better to just let him message me and ignore him.

Answer 1

Try and immerse yourself with other friends. When a person lets me down, I focus on my other friends - if he is worth staying in touch with, you/he will automatically stay in touch.

You can only give people so many chances.

Answer 2

Sounds like you've already given him plenty of chances. If he's really a bad friend you should say bye and tell him what he's done. Then block him, since he'll probably just keep bothering you. You can't waste time on bad "friends".

Answer 3

Don't bother saying goodbye, giving one more chance blah blah blah.  Just do what friends do, accept the shortcomings and make allowances, i.e. expect to be let down if you're depending on him and / or don't depend upon him.  No sense getting all riled up and smashing up your toys over it.

It doesn't have to be everything or nothing you know.

Answer 4

Tell him face to face and block him on MSN.

He is a waster - using you when it suits him.

Drop him and move on
