Free Garden Catalogs

Did we over react?

My husband and I have a friend who we feel needs to grow up a little. He constantly thinks of himself before others, and we're a little tired of it. For example, he and his girlfriend broke up about a month before Christmas. Granted, breakups are hard, but come on. Move on. We found out that his mom was in the hospital for major surgery, and he was more worried about getting his ex back than his mom. This upset us, and we called him on his BS. He quit talking to my husband, but has been in contact with me. Since our friend does not have a job at the moment, he has a lot of free time on his hands. He is constantly texting me while I'm at work. I have asked him not to, nicely... Yesterday, I was in the middle of a meeting, with my phone on vibrate, and he messaged me "I'm starting a garden. I have seeds and soil, but I need a hoe. U busy?" I didn't find it funny and my husband blew up when I showed him. We're at our wit's end. What do we do now?

1. hmm sounds like the friend is tryint to get with you,or make u and yr hubby miserable.i would just ignore him.do not give him the satisfaction of knowing he is bothering you.he is not a real friend.good luck
2. forget about him, is he doing anything positive for you? And is it enough to make the bad seem like nothing? it`s up to you , but if he had any respect for you or himself , he would definaltley not refer to you as a "hoe" , even if it was just a joke .
3. you should just leave him alone and give him time to think.
4. I don't blame your husband. Learn to turn your phone off at work.
5. Ignore the phone calls,the texting and whatever else he may try. He'll soon stop talking to you too once he gets the message that you're ignoring him. If that doesn't work,then you and hubby together should confront him.
