Weird end to a friendship

[NHawk19]

Eh I went through a board shutdown last week. Used to post there when I wasn't here. That was weird. People I knew and talked to all day but didn't really know. . . . Then all of a sudden *poof* gone and no way to talk with most of them.

I've been fortunate enough to grow up in a town where we all became friends growing up. I have some childhood friends who I've drifted apart from, but we still talk. Other than that, all longtime friends have remained very close and I love each and every one of them.

I had an ex though, who decided we were suddenly non-exclusive friends with benefits without discussing it, so I ended that relationship as soon as she told me she was with someone else.

We remained friendly, hung out a few times since then but I haven't reached out to her in a while. If she ever wanted to catchup though, or if I ran into her, I'd be glad to see her.

She was a big part of my life for over a year, don't see the point in burning bridges. We meet people, develop relationships and friendships and in a way, they are extensions of ourselves.

I'm with Rock here. If I'm driving, and the movie's over, and I say we're going, guess what? We're going. You can go with me or sell your ass on the streets for a ride home, your choice.

I'm late but I'm an odd man out too...I've had a similar situation happen to me. I went out with a friend and had to pick her up (she lives a good hour away from me) and because she was in my side of town, she also wanted to meet one of her friends down on my side of town. So I let her go hang out for a while...something that was supposed to be like 10 minutes turned into an hour. I then called her and told her it was time to go (as I was tired of sitting around in my car doing nothing when I have to drive her an hours worth back to her place and then an hours worth back to mine

I wouldn't have left my friend, but I'd have been pissed if they'd insisted on staying when I, the driver, said multiple times that it was time to go. If someone else drives you somewhere, you're on their time. If you don't like it, drive yourself or catch a cab.

But yeah...I wouldn't have actually left my friend.

I didn't leave her, but you bet I cussed her out the entire way home... saying things like "next time you want to visit your little friend, do it on your time not mine" and all that jazz...

I too am late to commenting but as others have said, If I am the driver and I am ready to go, either you find another ride or you leave when I do.

Is it really so awful to sit through seven minutes of credits?

At 1am when you're ready to go home and go to bed, yes it is.

You shouldn't go to such late movies then.

If you are in a rush and have to be somewhere okay the driver should have the right to leave but if youre not doing anything important just chill and let your friend watch the credits. You are just power hungry otherwise

Yeah, so why are you at the movies at that time anyways then?

Hey, **** happens.

to the OPs credit at least you agreed to actually go the movie with your friend even-though it wasn't a movie you were interested in

when I was trying to get some friend together to go see a movie my friend just out right said "I have no interest in that movie" and refused to go, even when I got some of our other friends to go (some of which were more friends that I only really know through him, that only agreed to go thinking he'd be there)

for me its more of a issues that I have some weird friendships that I should end, but just don't/can't for some reason lol

If you dont mind going to the movies that late you shouldnt mind sticking around for seven to ten minutes so a friend can get what they paid for. Or dont invite people to be your guest if you are going to get in a tizzy because someone wants to watch the entire movie.
