Oh i swear, one of my friends. I can't, I just can't, it's just too much for me... I'm not patient enough for that crap.
His girlfriend broke up with him, and it was like it was the end of the world, worse than the terrorist attack on the world trade center. He cried, he begged, he hoped, he cried, he hoped, he begged, he fell on the ground screaming, in public, in private.. with every single friend, using all the hyperboles you couldn't even imagine.
" Oh she killed me, oh I'm a dead man, oh she puts a knife in my heart ! She makes me suffer like hell, I will make her suffer too, until she knows what it does. "
It was hillarious, ridiculous, I was fascinated, I was confused, rolling my eyes, lifting my eyebrows, remaining silent my mouth big open before such drama. You just lost a girlfriend dude, it's not your wife, it's not the end of the world. You'll have plenty of others. She moved on, move on like she does. One lost, then found.
It was so over the top that I decided to be nice, even if I had little respect for such kind of behavior and spectacle, and decided to bring him with me in a bar to meet other girls. I was kinda hoping that we would meet someone that could please him and make him forget his ex- girlfriend. That has to be one of the most uninspiring and awful ideas I have ever had. I had underestimated how much he was angry and irrationally emotional. For a few days, he just literally hated on all females as if they were all bad and responsible of what happened.
There were girls at a table, I came to speak to them, throwing a few jokes, my friend behind me, silent and still in a sinister mood. After a few minutes talking, they finally welcomed us at their table. Everything started well, but it quickly changed once we sat with them. A disaster.
My friend behaved like an idiot. He was rude to all of them, gross, agressive and arrogant, sometimes insulting them. I never was so embarassed and ashamed. They were nice to welcome us at their table while they didn't even know us and that's what was their reward. Disgusting. I was so embarassed that I didn't know what to say except " please stop, cut it out, " And finally, one of the girls as it was obviously expected lost patience and talked to him the same way he did to them. Which is precisely what he needed, an excuse to unload his anger against someone. Everything at this moment degenerated, I reached him before he reachs her, and prevented him to touch her by holding him and pushing him back.
I deeply apologized to the ladies, and i really appreciated the fact that they aknowledged that I had nothing to do with his behavior even if it was my fault if I brought this idiot with me at their table, and they accepted my excuses. I forced my friend to go outside with me. But the worst is just following.
He was himself disgusted by my behavior, absolutely shocked. Once we were outside, he raged, screamed against me, pushed me back several times. Arguing how much I was a traitor. How friends are supposed to be loyal to death, how friends are supposed to support each other in ANY situation. I was as angry as him, but I calmy responded that me being his friend didn't allow him to behave in an unethical way toward innocent people. I also added that as his friend I saved his honor by preventing him to hit one of the girls. It wasn't a provocation, I was serious. But he took it the wrong way, he took it so badly that he violently punched me. I punched him back. And we fighted like two losers on the streets.

Thanks god, there was nobody to watch us. It was already embarassing.
Once he fell on the ground, a bit confused, I stopped, and immediately took my bike. I left, letting him behind. I couldn't remain with him, he was too emotionally out of control, it could only lead to more embarassing things. I felt bad all the night. Having to fight against my friends is something that I absolutely hate, it makes me feel depressive. But then everyone suported me in our circle of friends, and condemned him, so it helped to make vanish that feeling of culpability I had. I felt better.
He called me the day after tomorrow, deeply apologying for everything he has done wrong, for is terrible behavior. He is a bad guy. It's just that this night he couldn't handle his feelings. Though I made it clear that I don't want to ever live such shameful and awful thing again, and that if he ever had such behavior, he should never count on my support. I'm loyal, but not to that point. He understood, and promised it would never happen again. We made peace.
I tought it would be over, that he would move on. But no.

Four months later, meaning today, his ex-girlfriend that is also my friend has a new boyfriend, I've just seen him a few hours ago. And it's - again - the end of the world when my friend learnt the news. New drama, new spectacle from him. The same that happened four months ago. And like all my friends, i'm just like OH FOR **** SAKE !
DUDE, IT'S BEEN FOUR MONTHS SHE HAS BROKEN UP WITH YOU ! MOVE ON ! I just can't believe it. He is 20 years old for the love of god. He has time to find someone else. No he kept hoping she would come back to him.
And he keeps telling me " No but you don't understand, we spent good moments together ! You can't understand that. "
Eeer, yeah ? Your girlfriend broke with you because she was bored to death with you, because you were unable to emotionally shake her in any way, because she felt nothing for you and since the beginning. She wanted to move on. So you might reconsider the idea that everything was wonderful....
She has so little respect for him, that she asked me on the phone to tell him to move on. She didn't want to talk to him herself. It is clear that it is over.
It's pathetic to be that weak and over-emotional, I've been harsh with him today. I think that's what he needs. The more we try to be compassionate, the more he cries and thinks he is legetimately a victim of the world. And this time I won't bring him anywhere so long he is unstable. No thanks, i had it once.
