My heart is broken

Tonight was a really tough night.  Really tough.  I've written about my friendship with the boy bestie, Hermes, and I'm really sad to say that our friendship has come to an end. 

Long story VERY short, we were texting back and forth about wrestling (it IS Monday night) and I misunderstood one of his texts when he said "no one ever listens to him."  I thought he was referring to this wrestling guy being on TV tonight (and not a serious "issue") and joked around for him to "stop the pity party."

Clearly he was serious, and before I was offered an opportunity to apologize he responded with a statement that he has put up with my pity party since he's known me and told me to Fuck Off.  I didnt know what to do.  Do I even apologize for what I said?  After that?  I decided to clear up my stuff, explained how I could have misunderstood him, and apologized.   Then I would be done.  Even after I clarified that I clearly completely misunderstood, he replied with "at least I was paid to listen to HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED's shit."  (fyi, he used to work HWSNBN and listened to a lot of his shit.)  Being compared to HWSNBN is disgusting.

Ouch.  Double Ouch.  Probably even a triple ouch.  Of all of people in this world, Hermes, being at the office afterhours, etc. was one few people that saw and heard how HWSNBN spoke to me and treated me, I really felt like Hermes was the only one who came close to understanding even a shred of what I suffered through. 

I can only think of a few other statements that would be so cruel.

So, despite the fact that I'm sure he was drunk,  he's never intentionally been mean to me before, and obviously something very painful is going on in his life, its time to call it quits. I am a forgiving person, but this one just cut too deep and was too intentional.  I'm not perfect, but I if I am intentionally cruel to you, then I don't deserve your friendship either.

My heart is broken.
