Ugh there's a guy my partner used to work with a few years ago. Partner and I would hang out with him and the other coworkers often, going to the pub and having a good time. But this particular dude was (is?) a massive weed-head, which doesn't bother me at all except when we'd all be quite tipsy and drunk he'd constantly ask partner and I for weed. It got to the point where I would avoid going, because it was every single time. I even told him a few times how utterly annoying it was, and showed him how to get BM weed, showed him how to apply for medical if he needed it - and still!

He's been messaging me recently on messenger, to hang out, meet his new girl, whatever, and I just can't. Partner is fine with that, too, and partner can't respond because he has a dumb phone ๐Ÿ˜‚

I have the chat on mute, and see he messages when I go to check my other messages. I feel bad, but also feel a bit burned and don't feel like putting myself in his company in case it gets awkward and he begs for weed again. I think it just makes me feel used, that partner and I aren't actually friends with him, were just a means to an end. And I don't want to meet him, have him beg, and me lose my shit in front of his gf lol.

Idk I just needed to vent that out ๐Ÿ˜‚

What the hell. Since when was it hard to source weed?

Requires money. This may be the deciding factor in his behaviour.
