My friend always asks me out, then cancels on me last minute. It’s like I’m always an afterthought to him, only around when it’s convenient.
I’ve been feeling this way for some time now, but I just never had the courage to confront him about it.
Can’t help but feel that I am only an option to him
I can’t help but feel like I’m nothing more than an option to him, a backup plan. He keeps asking me out, but then cancels at the last minute.
I guess he just figures I’ll just be around if no one else is available. I know it’s not intentional, but it still hurts.
It’s been going on for months now and I’m starting to feel like I don’t really matter to him. I’m always left disappointed and frustrated when he cancels on me last minute.
I’ve grown tired of feeling like nothing more than an option, an afterthought.
I finally decided I had had enough and decided to confront him about it. I asked him why he kept canceling on me at the last minute and he just shrugged it off and said he had a lot going on.
He didn’t offer any real explanation or apologize.
Decided to confront him and end our friendship
I was so angry at him and his dismissive attitude. I asked him if he even wanted to be my friend, or if I was just an option to him.
He said he was sorry, but he didn’t really seem to care. I was so hurt and angry that I just got up and left.
I haven’t talked to him since then and I don’t think I ever will. I guess I was just an option to him, and I’m okay with that. I’m better off without him in my life.
It’s a hard lesson to learn, but I think it’s one I needed to learn.
No one should ever feel like they’re just an option to someone else. Friends should care about each other and make sure to always put each other first.
I don’t know if my friend ever learned this lesson, but I’m glad I did.
