It was 2 years ago....I was in St. Croix with my then partner. We were sitting out by the pool and started chatting with another couple from Texas. We just hit it off and became friends....laughing, drinking having a great time. They wound up cancelling their flight home and stayed 3 extra days with us. We remained friends us traveling to Texas, them to Atlanta etc. Even after my relationship ended, we continued to talk a few times a week. I still went to Texas, them to Atlanta and we would meet in various locales for vacation (Palm Springs, Key West etc).
One half of their relationship is an eye doctor. Great guy, professional, down to earth. The other half runs a VERY profitable Internet company...however has become one of those people that everything is ALL ABOUT HIM!
When you talk to him it's about what he bought, where he shopped, where he traveled, his new Range Rover, his new office space, the massages he gets 2 times a week, his new Dolce and Gabbana swim suit....blah blah blah. He even cheated on his partner awhile back and came to Atlanta to escape. Last time I talked to him (he was drunk of course) it was all about how he thinks he loves the guy he cheated with...I told him then leave your partner (of 12 years mind you). He cried...then yelled at me....then was slurring...it was just uncomfortable.
I think I'm done with him....I just can't stand the "me, me me" thing anymore. I'm glad he's successful, I'm glad he's doing well. HOWEVER, his partner is totally devoted to him and he doesn't realize it, he actually went away 2 weeks ago with the guy he cheated with...and when I spoke to him last week to let him know I got a job finally..he said "oh that's great...oh I got a new Range Rover". What fucking-ever.
Honestly, I may not have much, but I have a nice house, some of my best friends live on my street and I'm happy.
Who needs "friends" like that....
I'm just sayin.
UPDATE: while at Publix earlier, I got a voice mail from him wishing me good luck next week when I go back to work. He's at the airport as he's flying to Paris for a few days......
deliver me.
