Took me a few reads to figure out this post was not what I was expecting to read when I first clicked for an update. A shame when friendships break down. Free advice...so take it for what it’s worth... go talk to him face to face, maybe patch things up.

Its far beyond that point. What I shared is nothing.

I have 2 years of bullshit from him if you actually want to see the real side of him. He is a troubled individual and im too busy in life trying to do real things than to play orange county drama... (his favorite show is The OC....)

posted this on the pad thread also but here goes .


i fell for you buddy . i got a friend who took advantage of me on a few jobs and he is even a member here but i have kept dead quiet . i have not heard 1 peep from him since the problems went down and he paid me . i dont care anymore if he reads this but HE trashed a 15 year friendship over his ideas of money / payment . and he violated the deal of the big project in the terms he set forth .

so anymore i dont give a flying FFFFck who it is my shop time = full price for anyone from now on .

i TRULY miss my 15 year friendship with him but if he has not woken up to all the things he did to me and realized how bad he treated me so be it . i got him xmas gifts / his 2 boys gifts / so much stuff in 1 form or another and i get treated the way i did . . . . he better make one hell of a apology and wake up or i just dont care . . . . i even put him and his kids in my will if i die but rethinking this now .
 
I never sent him a box full of nothing! Lol!

Hahah!!!

I think i just finally had to say something, and this is a pretty private crowd compared to most any other place.

This stuff broke me down and honestly had me convinced I was a terrible person for 6 months. I slipped into drinking a shit load and was really sad until I realized that I had literally never done anything wrong other than finally break out of my shell and go for the things I wanted in life. You can text shannon right now and ask her about me balling my eyes out on her shoulder after reading those messages from Nate above. I barely said anything negative back to him for a year in hopes he would snap out of things. After that above I changed my mind and could care less about him.

Oh, that's much more sad than the lost stuff. Turning a positive, long-term relationship into an abusive mind game...that's just wrong. Good riddance.
 
@Deuling - Been there, done that, moved on. I had to walk away from both the stuff and the friendship, so I can kinda empathize with your situation. But life's too short to get dragged into someone else's drama. Better things ahead!

:burnout: :burnout:
Agreed.

This year was the best year of my life. I broke out of my shell and I honestly think alot of that is due to not being stuck being the same person for the same people etc. Its hard to be friends with someone that ups and changes life, buys projects, invests time with you on projects, and then gets rid of projects every other day..... I spent 11 years with that as my routine to live around and I think it broke me alot.
 
They say to never meet your heros, but it sounds like your hero is a helluva dude which is awesome!

Keep kicking life's ass, and posting it!

Yeah I was honestly nervous he would end up being something other than what I hoped and be all bummed out.

But he was so much cooler than I expected lol
 
Life is too short for all that b.s.
I don’t mean this in a negative way.
You have a wonderful wife , Kevin and a hobby/career that brings you joy and that you get better at ever day.
Focus on what is good in your life and the people that are there and want be there , *uck the rest . I know it’s easier ssid then done I’ve been there but medicating with the bottle about things you can’t change only brings other problems. Your better than that look forward not backwards , and merry Christmas!

Definitely! I actually stopped drinking after my wedding except for special events and some weekends. Been feeling a ton better than when I used to have a daily night cap etc.
