The pain you feel from me saying no to being just friends does not compare to the pain you made me feel when you ended our relationship.
The fact that your two bffs are:
1. A guy who tried to kiss me twice while we were dating and smacked my butt several times
2. Someone who tried to get with your cousin, and because he didn’t, spread malicious rumours of her and your own brother. But yet you tolerate it and still hold him in high regards because you think he has power within the group.
You had the audacity to offer to wait until after my birthday to break up – just so you won’t come off as the bad guy. Even after the break up, you still wanted to give me a present – just to ease your guilty conscience.
Please do not include me in your lunch plans, stop offering me drives to work, and stop liking my pictures on social media. It is all very patronizing. Forget you ever knew me.
