>>20416725>the respect I extended back is spit onI've been there. I helped a friend and his wife move twice and he'd randomly shit talk me to my face. I wouldn't treat him like that. One day I realized his wife was basically keeping him around as a financial accessory to fund her lifestyle (she's the breadwinner) and he saw I was successful and independent living in my own place that I earned by myself. I cut ties soon after realizing that.
They do it because they know you're superior and need to drag you down to their level. What do these clowns do/say? Are they in your social circle or at work?
