Search Results: talking dirty

So in relationships, people have minor disagreements. I am not talking about cheaters and abuse here. I am talking about things like:

Why does he left the the toilet seat up all the time?

Why doesn't she Never like my IG posts?

Must she squeeze the tooth paste from the top?

Why does he just let his dirty laundry stack up in the corner?

How important are these things to you, and in the end do they really matter, and why do we get hung up over who's right and who is wrong all the time?

When is enough enough?

Feel free to offer a perspective and share why these types of things really matter?

So basically I work with this guy and we used to be closer, I used to go over to his house and hang out with him a lot. We used to be friends but I wouldn’t call him a friend anymore.

now there’s been 3 different occasions where he thinks I’m talking shit about him? And instead of coming to me and asking me about it like an adult, he goes and talks shit and tells everyone I’m fake and that I said this and that. He even said his brother was gonna beat me up at some point?

But the annoying part is, he NEVER says any of this to my face. When we’re at work together, he’ll either give me dirty looks and we’ll avoid each other. Or we talk and joke as if nothing ever happened.
The times I have brought these situations up, he gets very apologetic “Oh I’m sorry. I say things I don’t mean. I just heard this and that, blah blah.”

The whole situation is giving me middle school. At this point I don’t care to try and be his friend anymore. Cause every time I’m around him, it’s this awkward tense energy. Like yeah we’re cool today but are you gonna be mad at me tomorrow?

So I don't know if I should just avoid him at work or if I should try and talk to him once again and be straight up and tell him exactly how I feel.
