Re: Inspired by #1
So, I made friends with a guy early on in my first semester of college. He was a neat guy. We had fun together. I even drank for the first time with him.
The following year, he got really, really heavily into pot. His personality started to change. He became argumentative and judgmental and so convinced of his own rightness that you couldn't even play a game with him without him dragging things down. When a few mutual friends approached him about it, he took it the wrong way -- he thought they were concerned about him embracing Communism (which is a whole other ball of wax. Picture a dude who gets into MLM and talks about how he's going to be manage his own team and be making bank soon while simultaneously praising Marx and Lenin).
I drifted away from him at this point, but still maintained contact, because we had been really good friends, and I didn't want to let go. He eventually cut back on the pot and started getting a little more "normal" again, so I started spending more time with him. It was kind of like before, but there were...moments. He'd talk about being on the level, figuring shit out. He'd had an "awakening," you'd see. He was tapped in, spiritually.
And then he started insinuating that I should leave my boyfriend (now my husband) for him.
It went back and forth on that front for years. Sometimes, he would drop hints about being into me. Other times, he would try and enlist my help to get with some other girl (the last one was much, much younger than him. He and I had graduated college years ago, and this girl was a freshman at our alma mater). And all the while, the crazy continued. He'd talk about Communism in the same breath that he'd announce he was going to the casino. He'd try to get me to quit my job to join him in his latest get-rich-quick scheme. He'd solicit money from people, and heap heavy doses of guilt on them to get them to give in. He started smoking again. Went to Occupy Wall Street and dressed up as cartoon characters. Talked about demons and numerology and bad energy.
I gradually increased the distance between us over the years until he finally did something that made me break it off for good: he said to me, while I was trying to get pregnant, that if things didn't work out with my husband and I, he'd be there, and that I should give him a chance.
Nope.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)Wooooooooooooooooow. That's...all sorts of creepy. And his political beliefs-sigh. He's the sort of idiot who gives us liberals a bad name :/.
You definitely made a good choice to back the hell away.
