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...

    well as you know I've had my fair share of bad friendship with "family" so all I can say is....that sucks...but I believe blowing him off now would be better than going out with him all the time then blowing him off....but really I'm not sure what a really good solution would be...he sounds desperate and lonely for a friend and I guess you happened to show up at the right time!  So again, that sucks!!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 10, 2007....
    When you marry someone, it's understood that you take on their family as well.  This is one of the downsides of marriage.  You don't have to like them, but you do have to endure those less than comfortable interactions.
     
    I think you perhaps need to tolerate this guy once in awhile and at family gatherings just to keep the peace.  If I were in your shoes I'd make sure the few times a year you do something with him that it's away from alcohol and with clearly defined start and finish times.  Being in public wouldn't hurt either.  This way you know exactly how long you have to tolerate him and if it's in public it should cut down on the inappropriate outbursts.
     
    Basically it's like that co-worker that everyone has that latches on desperately to you for friendship that you carefully manage to avoid problems.
     
    In my case it was a fire and brimstone brother, a druggie and alcoholic sister, a psychotic mother and a narcisistic father.  I just smiled, nodded and made my escape at the first opportunity.
  • botoni said on Sep 10, 2007....
    We ve all had them Kyle. Some have more tenacity than others and it looks to me like you ve got a doozy. Like you, I dont like to make waves but I think you re going to have to set some really clear boundaries with this guy. You might try setting up something very public and away from booze as Unique suggests. Maybe make it a month down the road and be sure that you are clear it is the only possible available time you have because of your hectic schedule. Keep doing it that way. Hopefully he ll accept that you are 'to busy' for a close buddy friend and let it go at that. A couple of hours once a month is way better than a daily annoyance. As for the calls and tms tell him in no uncertain terms that you just are to overwhelmed with your other responsabilties to have time for them as much as you enjoy them.
  • wombat said on Sep 10, 2007....
    I can't stand a ringing phone, period.  When it is someone who just wants to run off at the mouth to me, when I will probably see them later, I let hints slip in that I have to go.  With family it is harder (well with my hubby's family--mine are all back in the south)  but I don't like to chit chat on the phone--I have SC people to talk to!  Ha! 
  • nursecutie said on Sep 10, 2007....
    *sigh*
     
    I warned you that Brad was strange! But the text messages are ridiculous!! And that thing he said about testing you was the creepiest thing I've ever heard!
     
    He always flirts w/me but I never took it serious. Now I don't know if I should have taken it serious? LOL Gross! Not that he is a bad looking person, but he is my sisters husband!!
     
    Wendy knows he's a bit obnoxious sometimes but she thinks he's funny most of the time b/c she doesn't take him serious. And maybe she knows him best? or maybe she does not know him at all? :(
     
    I do know that Wendy said he really liked you and was happy to have a buddy. He does not have very many friends b/c he says he works too much. But I think it's b/c he freaks people out! LOL
     
    I will do as much as I can to keep him at bay for you........LOL Hopefully he will stop messaging you though b/c that's annoying!
     
    Are you sure you want to marry into this family? LOL

  • lfbno7 said on Sep 10, 2007....

    The impression I get from the guy is that he is bisexual and he wants to get in bed with you and your cutie.

    You don't have to be friendly with this guy.  If he creeps you out, you have the right to tell him so.  If you want distance from him, you also have the right to tell him that.

    If you hit him between the eyes with the fact that you aren't comfortable with him at all and you don't want to hear from him, that might help.

    I can guarantee you that he wants to be in bed with your cutie, and that he considers it a possibility.

    I think he is driving for the goal of a threesome or foursome, either one, with his wife in or out.  I think he wants you, but I think he wants your cutie more.

    I'm glad I don't have any relatives like this creep.  I feel like somebody needs to warn you that he is more dangerous than you think and that you don't need to walk on eggshells around him or spare his feelings because he is a prick who doesn't care about anyone but himself.

    Of course I may be all wrong, who knows.  Never met the guy.  Just reacting to your description.  He sounds like one of those guys where, years later, you are thinking, why didn't I punch him in the face?  He's no friend of yours.  He's screwing with you.  He's a wolf in stalking mode.

    Easiest way to get rid of him, be blunt and strong and tell him you think he is a piece of shit.  I do.  What do you care how the idiot reacts to that?

    I don't think he's trying to be your friend.  I think he is engaged in an all out attack to get in bed with your girl, and perhaps with you as well.  Cutie says that the guy always flirts with her.  Take it seriously, he's after your girl.  He's not your friend and he doesn't give a damn about you except possibly as a sex object.
  • lfbno7 said on Sep 10, 2007....
    Then again, I don't know what I'm talking about.  Never met the guy.  I may be so off.
  • amyispretty said on Sep 11, 2007....
    I've met tons of people like that, and it's a hard thing for me to understand.  If I were to call or text someone and they didn't answer or call me back, that would be that, I'd never contact them again.  I guess you have to be extremely lonely to have such little pride, so I usually feel bad for people who act like that.  Of course, once you get to know them, it usually becomes apparent why they're so lonely......
     
  • lfbno7 said on Sep 11, 2007....
    Come to think of it, knowing he's flirting with my girl, knowing he made remarks on the subject, I do believe he's lying about that "only testing" bullshit and I'd let him know how angry I was that he's flirting with my girl, that I don't think it's fucking funny, and that if he does it again I'm going to beat his ass.  Let him digest that for a while.  He's in your family a long time, unless there's a divorce, and you don't want him prowling and sniffing around your baby the rest of your life.  You have something to deal with there.  Overkill isn't bad in a situation like this.  Let him know it's not okay.  You really think that a male is going to look at your baby and not want her?  He wants her.

    If he's needy and desperate for your friendship, good, let him know that it's not okay to mess with your baby.
  • minniemouse said on Sep 11, 2007....

    Wow.....just wow....I almost sort of kind of feel sorry for the dude....almost.....lol.  I know how you feel Kyle, you don't want to out right hurt his feelings (even though I don't think you could) but he's driving you nutso.  I think you are worried too much about it.  Just ignore the text messages and don't answer when he calls.  Don't worry about it.  Make sure if you do get together Nat and her sister are always there.  Just be friendly but distant and he will get the message.....eventually....LOL  :-P  Minnie

  • skald said on Sep 11, 2007....
    There is never a dull moment in you life, I must say. You must shun that guy and excuse your self as nicely as you can. Let him still know that you will never swap Natalie. 
  • evil_twin said on Sep 11, 2007....
    tizzy--I think he was desperate and lonely and looking for a friend too. Lucky me!

    uniquely--Tolerating him at family functions, or once in awhile at a dinner, is perfectly cool with me. I can do that. I just don't want to hang out with him all the time like he seems to want to do! That's what makes it tricky. Hopefully he'll catch the hint soon.

    botoni--That's a good idea to set something up way down the road. That way it looks like I want to hang out, but that I don't have the time for an actual friendship with him. And hopefully the calls and messages will stop if I keep ignoring them!

    wombat--You're too funny! You have SC people to talk to! But really, I'm the same way. I'm not a phone person either. Most of my friends call when they have something specific to tell me and that's cool. I can't stand when someone calls just to sit there and tell me about the sandwich they're eating or something.

    cutie--First off, of course I want to marry into the family! :-) Brad is just a puzzle to me. His comments were weird and out of line, and the calls are crazy excessive. But I was just glad you saved me from having to go to the bar with him. Like we talked about last night, you need to talk to Wendy so she can reel him in.

    silver--Oh yeah, we've discussed it. And we're on the same page. It's just a matter of getting him to back off a little without making a huge deal of it. Wish us luck!

    lfbno--Wow! You have very strong opinions about this, huh? I was thinking the same thing you were thinking about his comments. And I'm not convinced he was kidding, but I really don't know for sure. I know he likes Natalie more than he should, but at the same time, he's been married to her sister for ten years. This attraction isn't new and nothing has ever happened. He's never stepped out of line with her, so I'm not worried about him doing anything. But the fact that he brought up swapping and threesomes really freaked me out. Either he really wanted to have sex with us, or he's really fucked in the head if he thought that was funny to joke about. I mean, it's not funny. It's just weird. But believe me, if he says something like this again, I won't be nice about it. And I'll also know it wasn't a joke. At this point, I just want him to leave me alone!

    amy--I'm the same way. If I call or text someone, and they don't answer back, I stop. I figure they are either too busy to talk or just don't want to talk to me. But some people have poor social skills and don't pick up on these cues damn it!

    minnie--I do feel slightly sorry for him. Simply because if he thinks our few weird conversations where I got pissed off at him and called him a freak, makes us best friends, then how can you not be sad for him? If that's what he thinks friendship is, then he must not actually have any friends.

    batty--I don't envy me either! :-P

    skald--I made it quite clear I'd never share Natalie. I just hope he doesn't call me again today. I've got my fingers crossed!

  • kruuyai said on Sep 11, 2007....
    e_t:  I would tend to side with lfbno7 on this one.  Walking on eggshells around this guy and trying not to hurt his feelings is just going to result in you spending more time with him.  You have the right to live your life the way that you want to live it.  Just because someone has married into the same family that you married into, doesn't mean that you have to spend time with him. Hell, even if he were a blood relative, you still wouldn't be obligated to spend time with him.  I don't spend time with my family.  You may have to be civil to him at family gatherings,  if you want to be included in those, but you sure don't have to make any plans with him outside of that.  I agree that being blunt seems to be called for, because he hasn't taken a hint so far.  You don't have to be abusive... just direct.  It's a lot easier to bear the discomfort of his negative reaction in the short run than to go through years of hell and then eventually end up doing the same anyway, when his behavior just becomes too intolerable.
  • GrapeKoolaid said on Sep 11, 2007....
    There's gotta be a reason why Wendy married this man(though the reason escapes me for the moment).  I'm pretty certain it's not because he's a bohemian pervo with an eye for nursie(when she was a teenager?  Creepy.  Where's NBC's Dateline "To Catch a Predator" when you need it?).

    Not accusing your future BIL of being a kiddie toucher(well...  I guess I am, kinda). 

    BTW, Telling your wife's little sister's beloved that he married the wrong one? 

    Definitely a dealbreaker.

    How do you handle a porcupine?   Veeeery carefully!  That is the way you should treat this because he's family whether you like it or not.  Be careful to do your duty to the family with the extra-curriculum activities (if you can manage it) .

  • evil_twin said on Sep 11, 2007....
    HH--I think you're correct that he has no real friends. I mean, if he acts like this with other guys, it's not a surprise to me! I think he assumes I'm a built in friend because I'm marrying his sister in law. And that might be the case if he wasn't such a weirdo. I like your excuse I should give him!

    silver--I don't think she's ever really been alone with him. Wendy is usually there. But believe me, I won't be letting her hang out with him if I'm not there. I don't think she'd want to anyway.

    kruu--So far today, he's sent me one message. That's a huge improvement over yesterday! I just ignored it. I'm hoping that he's not quite as dense as he seemed and he's getting the hint that I don't want to talk to him. But if he doesn't, I will be blunt. I just worry about causing problems if I'm too rude to him. But if he leaves me no choice, I will do it.

    Grape--From what I understand, Brad didn't used to be such a creep. But he was always a flirt. When he drinks (which apparently is a lot lately) he turns into a freak. Although I don't think he was drunk yesterday while he was texting me every five minutes. But who knows? And when he met Natalie's sister, she was 17 and he was 22. So at least it's not like she was 13 and he was 30. But it was still a creepy thing for him to say!

    bloc--There is nothing worse, is there?

    RollingC--I'm just going to try and tolerate him when I have to, and hope he understands that we are not friends who hang out and do stuff together.
  • evil_twin said on Sep 11, 2007....
    bloc--(again)That's a scary thought! I wonder what he'd say? I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that!

  • bloc said on Sep 11, 2007....
    haha, it's like the seinfeld episode where Jerry wants to date the roomate of the girl he is currently dating. His plan is to ask the girl he's dating for a 3way, she'll be offended, but will tell her roommate who may be weirded out but will still find it flattering that he's attracted to her. He can then ask her out.

    It backfires when they agree to the 3way ;)

    fearing--I'll make sure he's not alone with her. Don't worry!

    silver--I guess the only reason why I'm not more worried about him in regards to Natalie is that she's known him for almost ten years. I would think that if something freaky was going to happen, it would have happened by now. And the night he told me all this stuff, he barely said anything to Natalie at all. He was attached at my side the whole night. I think he's a lot of talk and no action. Thankfully. But I still won't let him be alone with her. Especially not if he's been drinking.

  • VICARIOUS said on Sep 11, 2007....
    If I don't mesh with someon I won't pretend I do. At first I simply stop talking to them, till later we mutually ignore one another. I prefer this actually. I'd much rather ignore someone I don't bond with than pretend I care at all.
     
    I once had to tell a friend that I didn't want to be a friend anymore. It was hard--but he was driving me nuts. Every night I got home from work he, his wife, and child would at my dorrstep. I shit you not. Waitng for me to get home. Me then wife, would be home pretending not to hear them at the door. They'd wait.
     
    One day I came home and they all waved and greeted me like some strange Twilight Zone episode, I decided it had to end.
     
    It was a routine: They'd come over, cht about who knows what, let their child destroy our things,we'd eat--and they wouldn't leave till we had to throw them out.
     
    Background:
     
    He and I were great friends yers earlier, biker buddies in Phoenix. We were single, free and partied hard. WE both went our own ways; both in the USAF, and years later met up agin, in Japan. He hand cahnged, I had changed. There was no tight friendship without motorcycles and beer and craziness.
     
    There they were on my steps. This is what I said as soon as I got out of my car:
     
    "Dave, we need to talk. Several years ago we were tight. We ran hard and played hard. Those days are always going to mean something to me. We are not those people. I am not a nice person and I can't pretend to be. It is great seeing you after all this time but I can't hang out like we used to. WHen I come home I just want to draw or write and relax. Don't take it personal, guys, but let's take things back to normal a while. You do your thing we do ours. O nbase we see you we'll say hello you say hello. dave we eat lunch together every day. We can still do that. But if we don't end this togetherness I'm going to hurt someone."
     
    They laughed because it was really direct and they weren't certain what to do. But we worked it out then and there and they left. Never came over again in my 4 years tour in Japan, and Dave and I still played pool at lunch time till he deployed again a few years later.
     
    No one was upset--and I had my life back.
     
    Telling people you don't want to hang out with them can be done, but it takes some balls I think. Lol.
     
    Over the yers I've shortened my speech with people that seemed to get the impression I wanted to hang out.
     
    "Hey, let's not hang out anymore. You are cool but it has to be deeper for me."
     
    Truthfully I don't give a shit how people take it anymore. Life is too short as it is but to put up with people you don't even like ... well that is silly.

If this guy persists, I am just gonna have to tell him we have nothing in common except he happens to be married to my fiancee's sister. Hopefully he'll just take the hint when I don't ever answer his calls. I know most people would!

    lfno7 you really hate Brad don't you?! LOL I am not defending his behavior but I think he's just a dumb guy who thinks other guys will find him interesting and macho if he talks about women in a degrading way.......

    He can be very sweet b/c I've seen it happen. But he can also be weird and cross lines and you have to tell him to shut up! Esp. if he's been drinking.......

    ed, I think it's sweet you are so worried about me, but Brad has never done more than say innappropriate things to me. Not that this makes him a good guy but he's never touched me. My sister would kill him!!

    She wears the pants around the house and he knows it. I think this is why he was trying to act very macho around Kyle b/c he didn't want to let on that he was anything but macho! LOL I think it was an act to impress Kyle.........a dumb one!

    He is a pig for sure. And an annoyance to poor Kyle! But I don't think he is any sort of threat.........just stupid!

    i'm with sw.  nurse cutie, i'll take your word for it, cause you know him.  it's just that i was picturing some guy trying to get in between you and that evil one you are so fond of, and it kind of pissed me off.

    Okay, Kyle, you can stop thinking of a tactful way to tell whatshisname to F.O.  Natalie gives me the impression that he's harmless, so maybe my suggession was rather harsh.  Sorry!  I've been mixing school with SC, the brain is retaliating, and the result is this 'bitch on wheels' that I thought I'd killed a long time ago!
     
    Hugs to you both, Blast.

    Ed and lbno7, you both are very sweet :) No one will get between me and Kyle! I can assure you that! Esp. not Brad. But I am touched that you were so upset on our behalf.

    {hugs}

    Just tell him the truth.  "Dude, you get on my last nerve and your breath reeks of macho bullshit...back off" !! That....AFTER you try to get rid of him with tact, the first time.  :-)   ( I swear, I'm not a sailor in drag, just a wench with PMS at the moment. Don't mind me.)

    Just a quick update. So far, he seems to have gotten the hint that I don't like to be disturbed at work. I got a few more messages, which I didn't answer, and yesterday I got nothing. Mission accomplished! Hopefully. We'll see what happens over the weekend....
