Hello. I know the title may seem over the top, but let me explain. For context, I’ve had a friend for almost 5 years now. we met in mid 2020 through mutual friends. we dated throughout the end of 2020 all the way to early 2022. I broke up with him because he started to never speak to me. (i was starting all convos, did an experiment where i didnt start them, and we didnt talk for like 3 weeks). anyways, we stayed friends and during this school year ive been bringing him snacks/food at lunch. he is a poorer person so he cannot bring his own lunches, although he does get free lunches at school, he just decides not to eat them. it has gotten to the point where he will not speak to me unless im giving him food. (ignoring me when we see each other, ignoring all texts and phone calls, etc). He also has let his friends bad mouth me and be blatantly rude to me and my friends, and when i have brought it to his attention he brushes it off and ignores it. i sent him a confrontation text, where i told him i felt used and explained everything else ive mentioned here, followed by another text the next day saying if he doesnt give a response, i will assume he does not want to be friends, and i will treat him as such. i’ve received no response. i feel as though maybe im being too harsh, but also he never talks to me unless he is gaining something, and lets his friends be shitty to me. AITAH?
