Why don't you call an Uber? You are responsible for you in all circumstances! I do feel, based on your facts, that they are a bunch of fatheads & you should get some better friends, but no friends are your parents, ever.

I wouldn’t do that to a person I didn’t like, let alone someone I considered a friend!

Expensive lesson. Thank goodness you survived that "friend."

The more I experience human interaction, the more I like my cat.

One of the basic rules of life as we know it: You can't pick your relatives, but you CAN pick your friends. So pick good ones.

Wow, at least you know better now, I've given people rides to their house that I don't even like due to it being night or bad weather. Stay strong, choose wisely. And best wishes.

I can sympathize. I have similar stories of toxic friends that I tried to hang on to, but finally walked away.

Don’t look back.

Sorry, I’m not going to be very encouraging. People, regardless of relationship, have obligations to be human beings. I have a concept of “fellow traveler” and I believe we are all responsible for looking after our fellow man. I understand sometimes there are safety issues but failing that, inconvenience is never a sufficient excuse IMO. <end soapbox>

Lesson learned. They're not your friends. You realized it. That's a plus. You should feel bad if you didn't come to the realization that they're not your friends.

I would imagine that during the 3 years, you enjoyed some good experiences and good times together and it was not wasted. Now just move on and develop some new friends and new experiences.

Yes, been screwed over by friends and family.

Pretty crappy of them. I have gone out of my way to help out strangers and strangers have gone out of their way to help me. Can't believe someone I know would bail out on me like these people bailed out on you.

I'm very selective of who I allow into my weird, twisted world. The thing about being in theater as I am is that your fellow actors and director are really like a safety net. The director is there to make sure you give your best and your fellow actors are there to catch you if you fuck up on stage, so you have to have a lot of trust. If someone breaks that trust, in theater or otherwise, I'm not going to bother to try and rebuild it. Lessons from the world of acting, eh? Nobody deserves to be treated like that.

This summer I drove 2 "friends' up to Lake George in my car. One brought her son's dog. After a day at the beach I was tired. We barbecued in the woods sitting on hard picnic benches, My back really started to hurt. I implored them to drive up the mountain where my back would have support sitting in my front seat. . They ignored me playing cards for 2 hours. I do not play cards. I took a THC gummy for the pain and sat in my car for 2 friggin hours. Then we leave-only to have one of them try to get me to park illegally downtown where I would have been towed. She jumps out of my car and I have to drive around in circles and coax her to get in the car. The THC gummy kicks in and I have to ask her to drive. She speeds on the highway after drinking all day and the two of them turn the radio up full blast. They are also smoking cigarettes non-stop in my car-I am a cancer survivor and can't be around smoke. Somehow we made it homeafter an hour of hellish driving. I said good riddance and they got Dan to take them out dancing and hearing a band. I stayed home. And that was the beginning of the end of a one year relationship and the "friendship" I supposedly had with these 2 women who were really Dan's friends-not mine. I now pick and choose my own friends.

I have a sister like that. Kind of hard to completely end a relationship with a family member, but I've done it as well as I can.

In a couple of months I will be moving away from this town which will most likely sever it the rest of the way.
