I was friends with John for most of my life. I was a few years older but we got close in high school and college. We had been on trips together, partied together, friends with some of the same people - it made sense for us to move in together after we both finished grad school in the same year and moved to the same city. Brief breakdown of things that happened:
At his birthday party, one of his friends was going on a racist rant about how disgustingly ugly he finds Asian people. I told him off and my friend told me that I acted inappropriately for confronting him. He had no problem with what his friend said because “it’s not like I’m racist”. My thoughts: you are judged by the company you keep, don’t act like your friends aren’t a reflection of you
He had very negative views of sex and sexuality. Every time he would share any intimate detail of his life it would be to complain. Every time he was in a relationship he would say that he was “happy but…”. He seemed to always make sex and relationships a negative thing and seemed to judge when I would go on dates, etc. If I was happy about a relationship, he had negative things to say
We went on vacation with a couple of friends and their significant others. Throughout the vacation he made negative comments about my weight, skin, hair, and habits. I recovered from a pretty nasty eating disorder and so it was kind of a low blow to me
The nail in the coffin was when he told me that I was irresponsible for seeing a single friend during the pandemic. He had been in a relationship, hooking up with random people at the same time, and criticized me for seeing one person. He called me irresponsible and selfish. I couldn’t believe I wasn’t allowed a single friend…
After that interaction we never really spoke again besides random run-ins
