Thanks guys- yes I think part of it is the fact he doesn't have anyone else to go out to eat with. In fact his sister is now losing weight so she won't go with him either, his brother and wife just bought a house so money is tight they won't go out either. Then us as well as our other friend (his ex) won't go out with him either.
I mean I ALMOST feel sorry for him but not really lol. He has to take care of himself I'm not his mother- he lives at home with his parents who cook, he doesn't HAVE to eat out.
My husband and I talked he said he will just be more firm about saying no to his friend and promises to not egg me on anymore to eat out... I mean we do eat out now and then, but we try to go to healthier places. My husband is slightly in denial cuz of his MS he can't eat out like he used to, which is another problem. He said if his friend just doesn't take the hint he'll pull him aside and tell him that we just can't eat out like we used to and hope he understands and he's welcome to come over and pitch in with dinner now and then or eat dinner THEN come over.
Oh canadianwoman I have tried to hook this guy up with MANY girls, he's going to be a perpetual bachelor his whole life because he just doesn't want to work on a relationship and when he's got the attitude of "B*TCH takes half" I prefer to not subject any more of the female population to his attitude...
And yes, I agree, in the end it was my choice to go- but that's why I'm here asking for help on some ways to get some help and strength!
Thanks everyone!
