Tomorrow, I am going to unfriend someone in the real world.
Paul.
He's the bipolar diabetic guy I've known for about 10 years, and, over the last few years, I've been providing transportation to him for groceries, etc. because he fell on hard times.
I don't feel great doing this. I am not looking forward to the conversation I'm going to have to have with him tomorrow afternoon.
But it's going to happen.
I need it to happen.
I used to like hanging out with Paul and even helping him with his situation. But over time, that friendliness has whithered. Now, when I think of Paul, I just feel like he's this enormous obligation that the universe has dumped on me, hanging around my neck like an albatross.
I do not want to be around him. I do not want to do anything for him.
And I am tired of feeling like I should have to.
He's got family that should be looking after him, that should be aware of his worsening financial situation, that should be saying, "Hey! You have to leave that tomb of a trailer and come live with me!"
I am starting to actively resent him.
So, it's time to part ways.
It's time to say 'Have a nice life' and leave.
I'm not sure, exactly, what I'm going to say, but it will be final.
Any advice would be welcome. :(
