One of them used us for a few place to live. He'd mess up for so long (not pay his way, not clean up, do bare minimum work at everything) and when confronted would manipulate and give excuses. If that didn't work he'd berate me and say such cruel things till I cried and felt I was the problem.

He's no longer in my life at all.

This married couple we've been friends with since high school just never matured with us. We had a child, they acted like our child was awful. Ignored him. Never seemed to understand our lives as parents were going to be different now. All the guy wanted to do was play video games all the time. He'd be cocky and rude and everything had to be about him and he always had to win or he'd be shitty. Being talked over and ignored while playing a game in my free time was not how I wanted to continue. I mean parenting already takes self sacrifice and energy, why did I need to be unimportant last in my social life? The lady talked about everyone -even her friends- behind their backs. She never wanted anything past her talking about her problems and if I tried to open up she'd basically say she doesn't wanna talk about that. The final straw with them was this summer they came to visit after talking about missing us and wanting to hang out so badly, kept us waiting on them and stringing is along for three hours when we had plans with them. I spoke up and said I was angry. She said they are going to have fun with or without us. I told them forget any more plans. They now don't speak to us.
