I just cut contact with a male friend who I had known for years. We were fine for a while but recently his behaviour has become really gross.

The last few conversations we had he just kept steering the conversation into him trying to get me to sleep with him. No matter if I said no, changed the conversation or made up excuses that should obviously give him the hint that I wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t give up.

Alongside showing that he’s completely incapable of doing anything for himself without the help of a woman these past few months, he also liked to play down any emotions or feelings that I had. If I pointed out anything he did that was wrong/made me uncomfortable, he would just go ‘what is wrong with you?’ and turn it into a big joke.

The final straw was when I mentioned that i’m not into casual hookups anymore and i’ve really been working on making my mental health better and I realised that stuff wasn’t helping me, he just went ‘it’s because you haven’t been with me’. I was honestly so disgusted that he just doesn’t see me as a person or friend with feelings, just an object for his sexual gratification.

So I cut him out completely. I didn’t tell him why because he’s not worth the energy and he would just belittle my feelings or turn them into a joke. I feel so much better, I couldn’t even stand to look at him anymore.

I just wanted to vent here as I know that i’m not the only person who has experienced this.
