Have you ever met someone that likes you a whole lot more than you like them? And I'm not talking about romance here. I'm talking about friendships. What do you do when someone won't stop calling you and asking to get together, when you really don't even like them? And worse yet, I can't simply change my number and disappear because this person is part of my life, whether I like it or not.
I've put off posting about this for quite awhile because it was one of those things I was going to just keep private. But I've realized lately that I just don't care about that right now. This is bugging me and I need to write about it. I also kept it quiet because this person of which I speak, is married to Natalie's sister. But she said she didn't mind me writing about it, so here I go.
I finally met Natalie's sister and her husband a few weeks ago. The first meeting was pretty quick, and they both seemed nice enough. Then we had dinner with them. Wendy's husband, Brad, likes to drink a lot. And when he drinks, he gets really obnoxious. And also, weird.
He spent quite a lot of time telling me that Wendy was making his life miserable. She was very concerned about money and appearances and he was going broke just trying to give her everything she wanted. Not to mention that their sex life was really dull. I didn't need to know that, but he told me anyway. But that's okay. I'm used to people telling me stuff like that, for some reason. And I tried to sympathize with him as much as I could. I was just being nice.
And then he shocked the hell out of me by saying he married the wrong sister. Natalie was always much more down to earth and fun. And he said it was too bad she was just a teenager when he met Wendy, or else he would have picked her instead. And he kept going on and on about how cute and sexy he thought Natalie was. It was complimentary, but inappropriate the way he wouldn't shut up about it. Why was he telling me that? I know how sexy and cute she is. And he can't have her. As if she'd want him anyway.
But then he asked me if we'd ever thought about swapping with another couple. Excuse me? I had to ask him, "swapping what?" even though I was pretty sure I knew what he meant. And I was right! And when I said, "no way in hell," he wondered if Natalie was up for a threesome then? Oh my fucking God. A threesome with who? Her SISTER and Brad?? Yuck! But then he said no. A threesome with ME and Natalie and him. I'm not sure which idea was worse.
All I knew is that I wanted to go very far away from him. And forever. And I felt horrible for Natalie's sister because this is the asshole she's married to? She may be a little difficult to handle herself, but she deserves better than this. And I think it was pretty clear to Brad that I was completely grossed out and appalled at his suggestion, because he started laughing and said he was totally kidding. He was just trying to see what I'd say.
He claimed it was a test to make sure I was a good guy. If I jumped at the chance to share Natalie with him, that would mean I wasn't worthy. He wasn't serious. I had no idea what to think of that. It was a test? That's a fucked up test. But I passed! Only I wasn't quite sure if that was the truth or not. But I liked to think it was, so I accepted it. And I told him to stop scaring me like that. He was being a freak.
The last time I saw him was yesterday. He came over to my house and asked me if I wanted to go watch the football game at the bar with him. For starters, I'm not the biggest sports fan out there. I'll watch the games if other people are watching them. But I don't really care that much and I don't even have a favorite team. But the Raiders were playing, and since they used to be in LA, Brad was still a fan.
I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay at home with Natalie because we were having fun and it's our only full day together where she doesn't have to work. So I told him no. But he was all bent out of shape about it and said he went out of his way to stop by our house just to pick me up. He didn't want to watch alone. I contemplated just going anyway, but Natalie saved me. She told him we had plans with friends later and we couldn't cancel. That was a lie. But she knew how much I disliked Brad (and she does too, especially after she learned of his 'test' conversation). She wanted to help me out.
He was still upset and kept talking about the traffic and the price of gas he wasted. So I made the mistake of saying, "well, next time, you should call first." That was a stupid move! He didn't have my cell phone number before then, but he does now. I had to give it to him! I'm the idiot who said he should call, and what other choice did I have?
Well, now he's sent me about twenty text messages today and called me three times. I didn't answer any of the calls, but I did respond to a few texts and told him I was busy. I mean, twenty text messages? And they were all about nothing. And the last few, I just ignored entirely, until he sent one that said, "dude are you there?" So I responded to him, "this is Kyle's secretary. He's gone away on business to Antarctica to study penguins."
I figured he'd know that was bullshit, but I also figured he'd catch a clue too. He just texted back that I was hilarious and he was so glad we were friends now. He needed a laugh like that today. Talk about feeling like a jerk. I made his day, and he's totally screwing up mine. What do you do in that situation? He thinks we're friends. But I have no idea why he'd think that. We have zero in common. And the fact that I keep ignoring him, should tell him I'm not real interested in starting a friendship with him.
But he's sort of family, by association now. I'm stuck! Am I doomed to be friends with him out of obligation? I just don't know. The next time my phone sings and it's him, I'm tempted to just throw it in the toilet and be done with it...
