Friendship gone bad

[Malice]

Hah...I like all your ideas...I would love to really screw with him about all this.
But I think I will take the stance of Caution...and not post them.

 

[Darthphere]

Burn them, videotape it, send him the tape.

 

[Malice]

heh...I have no idea where he is...so I couldnt even do that.
But I will keep some ashes of his personal belongings after I burn them

Papers mostly.

Well the fact that he's 17 years older than you and wanted to live with you while you were in college should have told you he was not gonna be the most reliable friend right off the bat.

I have had a friend for ten years and it seems the friendship went bad.
I will explain.

I met him, he is a good 17 years older than I.
Well, he ended up moving in with me in college (10 years ago).
Then when I moved to Houston, got married and the like.
He stayed in Houston.

Meanwhile over the years, I did MANY favors for him. I payed his rent once after he lost a job. I bought him some furniture, and may more examples like that.

In March, I brought him to Houston to live with me while he found a job here. Well he had one job for a month then quit for "unsafe reasons" at his place of employment (restaurant). I thought that was strange, but let it go. He started working elsewhere.

Then he was unemployed for a good month, without making any attempt to find a job. My wife, myself and my wife's dad sat down with him and told him, he needed to get off his can and find a job. We gave him a timeframe.

Well, he found another job, and started withing there. (another restaurant).

Then about 2 months ago, I get a call from him (I was at work and he at my house). He told me a close personal friend of his was SHOT twice. He needed to go up there since he was the executor of the will. Well he was starting to pack when I asked him about his job here. He had only been there for a few weeks and hourly jobs generally dont take to kindly for you to disappear for a week on a days notice.

He said he would get it okayed with his boss. Suppossedly he did.
Once again I took his word for it. He left after I brought him to the station.

Ironaically I got the feeling he was not coming back.

A week later, when he was suppossed to be on a bus coming back, he called me up and said, he was staying there. This kinda angered me.

My wife and I got a SNAIL MAIL that was sent to my friend from Nebraska the DAY my friend left to go up there for his shot friend. Well, the message we read. It basically said, the friend that was "SHOT" was not even in Nebraska, but was out of state on a long business trip. How strange, since this message would have been sent around the same time my friend here left for Nebraska.

That did not sit well with me.

Needless to say, this came to a head when I got a phonecall Sunday afternoon.

Someone in Nebraska who knew my friend, and the so-called Shot friend and I hashed out a bunch of info. No the person was NOT shot. No it doesnt even look like they were close friends.

Needless to say, this conversation shows me I have been played for many years by my so called friend. Using me for money ect...

My question to you is this.

While he was living with me, he started writing a series of Fantasy Books...

Should I post them online for the wholoe world to read?

for you my friend

Man, that sucks,I tend to be over accommodating to friends and boyfriends.
That **** has ended.

 

[blind_fury]

Since I have been used, abused and cast away ....I figured...I would fight back.

I will sell or donate EVERYTHING he has here in Houston...

And his computer, I will format and re-use...

Then his book, post it online for everyones enjoyment...

Thoughts?

Why are you so bitter? You should be grateful that screw-up is out of your life.

You dont lie to a friend.
Simple as that.

He treated my friendship and my compassion for his situation with deceit.

That is why.

 

[Themanofbat]

Tell Mirko to have sex with the guy's Mom...

Now THAT would be sweet, cold, heartless revenge.

Snail mail a copy of the novels with your name on them instead of his to yourself and never open it. If he ever tries to publish, you can sue his ass off to hell and back and claim that he stole them from you because you have prior art on them.

This is the answer

 

[Holly Goodhead]

I dont understand what he did wrong

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

He wrote "fantasy" literature.

 

[Holly Goodhead]

Burn them.

I suppose it's redundant to point out that once you've done this, delete any and all trace of this thread.

Good luck Malice, it's never nice to be screwed over by someone you considered as a 'friend'.

 

[November Rain]

Malice, truth be told, if you were going to post them, you probably would have by now...

I think you're feeling a lil peeved and are trying to vent, but instead of acting in a vengeful manner, perhaps you should look at the 'nice' times you had with your friends and keep those memories instead of trying to look for all the times you were played in the past.

you obviously liked him if you were willing to take him into your home in order to look after him and so forth. You can only help someone so much but that doesn't mean that you should feel bad about trying to do so over the years, that's what friends do and it shouldn't really be done for reciprocation if you like them.

I say you let sleeping dogs lie but e cautious about the future, you shouldn' screw over his personal items or work though.

I also don't see the falling out, at present it just seems like you're a bit pissed with him but he is none the wiser of your situation so how could you have properly fallen out without a confrontation of the fact you are aware his friend isn't dead.

If it really is good Id sell the book(s) to a wannabe author who is interested.
