juliebijoux Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I got into a fight over how I was treating my boyfriend (now ex) with a mutual guy friend. Back story is that my ex has been unemployed for 3 years, with no job offers and very few interviews. Basically one night my ex was refusing to apply to a specific restaurant. I had been to it recently and found out that they were hiring. I was explaining that he cannot be picky, but he just said he did not want to work there. Then I get a text from this mutual friend to "get off of my ex's back and stop nagging and hammering him" I understand how I can seem to be nagging or hammering but at that time, this really got to me. I responded hastily and just went off on the friend saying that after 3 years that my ex could not be picky and that I am just helping him get any sort of job. I list of all the things I am doing to help and then I asked my friend what he is doing to help. That set him off. It was a bad fight all around. The next morning I felt bad about going off on this guy, who is a pretty good friend. I texted him back that I am sorry and I explained that I am just desperate to help my boyfriend and it comes across the wrong way. However I have not heard back from him. Plus I heard from another friend that this guy still thinks I am just a horrible nag. I hate having this hanging over me because I know I will probably see him out or at group get-togethers and I don't want it to be awkward. If I let it go too long I think it could get really awkward. Any suggestions about how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
thehead Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ball's in his court OP. You apologized. He should too and move on. I think he should have stayed out of it to begin with. If he's going to be an ass about it and hold grudges, I guess things will get awkward and you have to deal. Sucks I know but what else can you do? Link to post Share on other sites
