| Ceremomiously hosed by my BFF
Are you sitting comfortably? Do you have a drink/nibbles at hand? If not, please prepare yourself as I am on the verge of rambling....
Ready? Good, let's begin:
Right, apologies if this is "all over the place", try to bear with me. I am the "wrong" side of 40, at this stage, whatever friends I acquire, I acquire for the long haul, i.e for LIFE
My 2nd BFF (my first being someone I went to school with and have been in contact off and on since high school) I acquired five years ago. Not meaning to get all "Pollyanna" but I have been there for him unreservedly. We met online, chatted endlessly and I was there for him when he moved down from Scotland. I navigated him through turbulent relationship after relationship. When he was living in a rat infested B&B when he moved to London, I insisted he crashed at mine. I loaned him money when he was between jobs. Over the past four years he effectively landed on his feet and (saying this without malice) he is in a much better position career wise than I am. This isn't a case of envy, as much as it may seem. I dealt with his relationships going askew, I dropped EVERYHTING when his liasons went tits up. I don't expect praise or commendation, but I have a partner and even so, I dropped things right there and then to deal with my friends' attendant crises.
Long story short? I won't go into it fully as it will no doubt bore everyone shitless. Suffice it to say, I had a major issue tonight that reared itself BIG time. My BFF KNOWS how big this is an issue for me, I didn't expect my friend to drop eveything fully, but the LAST thing in the world I expected was his partner to send me a very "polite" text to say I should efffectively not let the situatiion get on top of me. That in itself sounds innocuous, but (and am I being hypersensitive here?) he went on to say that they don't get much time together and my texts were interrupting them in the middle of a particulaly interesting DVD.
I'm sorry, but am I being WAY too sensitive at the fact that his partner butted in via text? As I said earlier, I dropped shit, cancelled plans, rearranged hours at work to accomodate my alleged BFF in his hours of need and NEVER endeavoured to have *my* partner send texts saying I was interrupting them during a most "crucial" DVD " moment.
I am SO close to an "F.O.A.D" text riposte but, judging from what I outlined, am I perhaps being a tad too hasty?

This leaves a VERY bad taste in my mouth. I'm usually good with subtle inference. I'm quite drunk at the moment so I daren't "retaliate",
