I (37, M), don't want to have any type of contact with my former best friend (32,M). He met his girlfriend (30) about 2 years ago, and since our relation became difficult. I'm gay, and she was afraid I would "steal him from her". For her convinience, we almost stop to see each other for a year and a half. We shared a few calls here and there, and sometimes, he went by but never stayed long. She never evolved on this subject. Recently, he was proud to announce that "it's okay now". But as soon as he pass my doorstep, his phone keeps ringing : his girlfriend. I guessed it was always like that, I knew she was "fusional". But my friend started to share, almost like it was normal for him : she tracks his comings ang goings, she installed cameras and mics everywhere in their appartment ("to manage the cat"). So if she was calling, it's because she knew he was at my place. He also shared that she wasn't ok for him to see his female friends, or his other gay friends. The only people he can see without having her going crazy are his colleagues and family. I decided to react and cut the ties with him, explaining him the conditions to be friend were not met on his side, and that I wasn't willing to witness him being more and more controlled by an abusive person. He thinks it's none ofbmy business and, in a few words, that I'm just a bad friend for cutting the ties "out of the blue". AITAH?
