I had a guy friend who didn’t treat me with respect or put any effort into the friendship. I stopped talking to him, but I feel sick when he DMs or texts me. idk if I should tell him the friendship is over and explain why, or just block him

Just block him. If he somehow had a revelation and knows he has to be a better person, he can just be good to the people he has now. Why risk drama when you can move on?

Tell him and explain

I haven’t spoken to him in about a year, but he recently tried to reach out. I tried to call him at one point to explain I wasn’t comfortable being close anymore, but it went right to voicemail like it always did when I called him in the past. He did a lot of lame things when we were friends including forgetting my birthday, forgetting my grandparents’s funeral, and ignoring me for days at a time

I mention it cause it was A LOT of things he did that were messed up. He had this ex-gf who he broke up with before we were friends, but continued to talk shit about her after they broke up because she made him feel bad about himself… except she was just calling him out for things he legitimately did to her that were messed up. I don’t think he would learn anything from me explaining and I think he would just talk about me the same way as his exgf

Part of the reason I’m not comfortable being friends anymore was cause I didn’t like how he treated me and other women, but I told him multiple times how I felt and he would just make fun of me. I don’t like the idea of leaving anyone without an explanation, but I told him these things bothered me before and I don’t think me calling to explain it again would lead to anything productive or peaceful for him

Maybe a quick short text and block
