RELATED STORIES
Ditched friend twice, called her ‘too sensitive’ – YTA, buddy
“YTA. She’s not overly sensitive, if anything, she was super patient with you, she just realized you don’t care about her and is done having a one-sided relationship. I’m super absent-minded and I either forget people’s birthdays or forget to call them when I do remember the date. But guess what, they’re still my friends because other than forgetting a birthday here and there, I am there for them. If there is something that I said I’d do, I do it. And I’ve never ditched them for dates, much less at a time when they feel shitty and need the company. You read like a 13yo.”
“YTA. You treated Amanda poorly multiple times and she’s finally had enough.”

“YTA. You made plans with her and then dropped her twice to go do something you’d rather be doing. You showed her by your actions that you don’t value her as a friend. I would stop talking to you also.”
YTA. Excuse factory, dismissing friends’ feelings. Apologies not genuine.
“YTA. Bailing on her twice? That’s rude. Calling her sensitive? “
“YTA. You made the offer to pick her up but you forgot and had someone else pick her up; still wasn’t you. When you were having drinks with her you ditched her and had someone else stand in. I don’t think she’s holding grudges, she’s just realizing she’s not an important enough friend to you and will stop wasting her time.”
“YTA. You ditched her twice! Time to grow up.”
Friend feels forgotten on her birthday, YTA sparks feud.

Friendship feud ignited by prioritizing gf over long-term friend. YTA
Ditched her twice? YTA!
“Apologized but still not understanding? Time to reassess your priorities.”
YTA sparks controversy, but wants to clarify their actions.
“YTA. Absent minded doesn’t excuse the fact that once you realized your mistake, you dig the hole deeper. Instead of telling your girlfriend that you already had plans that you totally forgot about and eating the cost of your mistake, you found another solution. If that had been it, you’d have probably been ok. But then you ditched her AGAIN for your girlfriend… Then to add icing on top, you had the audacity to tell her husband that she was being overly sensitive, it’s no wonder they cut you out of their lives, you’re an AH. Btw, it’s not hard to add an annual calendar reminder for important stuff…”
“YTA. Not picking her up at the airport when you said you would was shitty enough, but your GF texts you and you ditch her while your apologizing for ditching her! Then you have the nerve to try saying she’s too sensitive? Saying ‘that’s just how I am’ is rationalization and not an excuse for bad behavior. Your a horrible friend and I don’t blame them for not wanting to talk to you.”
