We are best mates ofc I’m unhappy about how rude he was to me. And if he wants to continue being in our friendship group then yes he does owe me an apology as to why he was rude. I haven’t hounded him in the slightest I brought it up once, after that first discussion I was no longer bothered about the rude things he said but instead about how he handled the situation. I have no issues with boundaries I made it explicitly clear I wasn’t bothered about the decision I was bothered about why he found it necessary to be so nasty to me and when he apologised I no longer had an issue with what he said. The classic gender swap statement, doesn’t make a single difference to the situation bc there is no hounding or inappropriate treatment. I think you should read the other replies and maybe gain some insight because you clearly lack the skill of critical analysis.
