Problematic friendships

Hello, I haven’t updated this blog page in such a long time now, I have some stuff I want to talk about that I feel need to be out there somewhere, someone else might find it interesting to know that they’re not the only ones coping with problematic friendships.

(For this blog my friends names will be changed for personal reasons.)
Friendship number one: Dom, he’s much older than me but much more of a child and doesn’t realize just how great his life is, he hangs around with me because I think he wants to feel young again, however he is perverted too, a bit of flanter doesn’t hurt anyone, but there is a line you just don’t cross, and also it seems to be all the fucking time, like every time we hang out I am made to feel like a slab of meat, and don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a flirty friendship, but as this guy is married with 3 kids I feel like their should be a line to stop at, and if he isn’t trying to chat me up. He’s complaining about his marriage that he’s only with her because financially he wouldn’t cope, and it wouldn’t be fair on his kids, then he goes on about how she’s never in the “mood” because all he wants is sex, like sure sex is great but if he’s just made her feel like a slab of meat or a piece of shit, then I don’t blame her at all, Dom is never happy. You can tell by the way he talks, he’s very melancholy (his nickname is Melancholy Dom) also, when my cat had bit me I tapped him on the nose, and then Dom legit slaps me in the forehead. Like WTF was that for?! Apparently because I “Slapped” my cat on the head, like nah mate tapping a cat on the nose is a way to teach them not to bite, I actually canny believe he basically whacked me in the head. Also my mum doesn’t like him in the house because he abuses it as it’s his own, doesn’t even act like a guest would. I am actually sick of him.

Friendship number two: Aliya, Aliya is self-centred and selfish as one could get, a mutual friend says that “I don’t think she does it on purpose, she doesn’t think” Like that fucking matters? If you need a friend when times are bad Aliya isn’t to be seen because it doesn’t benefit her, if she cannot get something out of it she doesn’t actually give a shit, she cries for attention because she cannot take a simple fucking joke, yet when the tables turn she’s nasty as muck, she will dish and dish as much as she wants; and you just have to put up with it because she’s only “joking” she’s always complaining about how hard work is, or how hard living at home with mumsy and how her brothers are so evil, it’s like chill babe, some kids don’t even have a fucking home to go to, and here you are doing crocodile tears over a fucking joke that you cannot handle. Grow up, not only that you cannot confide in her about absolutely anything, whether it’s about how you feel about her and your friendship, or whether it’s a secret or just opening up in confidence, like how I mentioned that her boyfriend sounded feminine, she goes and tells her boyfriend that I practically called him a girl, not only that her boyfriend is just as fucking immature as she is, he literally buys her everything the fucking mug, he flipped me off (gave me the middle finger) in his work uniform and actually serving me, I wouldn’t mind this too much if he actually knew me well enough to swear at me. (Yes I am going to make a complaint) It’s like when I made plans with Aliya about her coming over to mine to help me learn to roller-skate, she didn’t even contact me to say she wasn’t coming, because instead she’d made plans with her boyfriend, again wouldn't have been a problem if she hadn’t already made plans with me, or if she’d just be a fucking grown up and let me know why she is standing me up.

I have more problematic friendships, but these two are by far the fucking worst, actually kinda already hate number two.
