Hi, I 22 F had some kind of altercation with my friend due to a steam family, I will tell you my story.

He has been my bff since 2023 we meet playing overwatch and he quickly became a good friend, he was this type of fuckboy dude (even if he is not handsome at all he is chubby and not attractive) but he was VERY lucky with females and as long as he was happy with it I was cool with that.

The problem started once he started to date seriously this girl (he is 21 and she is 27), saying that I was happy for him is an understatement, so happy to see that he was dating somebody SERIOUSLY, the thing is that he started to call me late at night crying because Marianne (fake name) did something to him, taking advantage of him, using him from his money etc.. My recommendation as a friend is broke up with her because they were like 1 month being a couple.

He decide to continue that toxic relationship but slowly it started to be a problem for me, every time that I spoke with him, he was SOBBING telling me how he wish that girl loves him. The final straw came when she admitted to cheating on him with his ex boyfriend, at this point I was pretty tired of the situation because he was in a really bad place and me as a friend felt BAD for him.

Days before of that situation I spoke with my boyfriend and he was honest; that friendship was taken a lot of my mental health (I am a very emotional and empathetic person), he was right so I decided that if he decide to move forward with ' relationship after being cheated I wasn't being part of his life anymore. I told him that and he was like "yeah no coming back baby" just to 2 days after that, he forgive her for like the 11 time

I told him that and he was like "yeah no coming back baby" just to 2 days after that coming back with her, I told him that I prefer to keep my distance because I was really tired of dealing with him (something really important here is that I spoke with his GF and I was dealing the entire time with them so it's not only dealing with him, also with her).

He didn't take that very well and here is where the title makes sense, he add me to his steam family KNOWING that I do not own a lot of games, I didn't ask for it but I was really grateful, one day he told me like "hey I wanna bought some games, do you want to help me?" Since I didnt have a lot of games I decided to bought 3 AAA games and gave him 40 bucks (he ask for that amount of money)

Coming back to this day I decided that I wanted to play alien isolation (one of the games that he bought with that money) and surprise surprise, wasn't part of that steam family anymore, I was pretty upset and decided to write him in our group chat calling him a deer (English is not my first language as you can notice so in my native country we call them"venado o chachón” when you have been cheat on) he was like "you are not my friend anymore and you alre play 3 games so take it or leave it" and I was the without my games and without that money.

So AITA?

Edit: I was never interested romantically in him, actually I help him a lot with that girl when he recently meet her
