I am a M25 and met a mutual friend from my friend who seemed to be grumpy whenever me and my brother play TCGs with that specific mutual friend. It became somewhat draining when my grumpy friend started sending long messages telling me and my brother to stop playing with our mutual friend which is something we cannot tell since it’s up to that mutual friend of ours whether he should play with us or not. Me and my brother tried to lessen the interactions and play with the guy like very rarely but still, that friend of ours always say that our friend’s plans was ruined because of us like wth.
Info: has grumpy friend told you exactly *why* he thinks you should stop playing with that friend?
Honestly, i’m leaning towards the jealousy reason. Never said directly but it shows. Last time we all played together, that friend of ours goes quiet as we played then boom long message on my DMs saying that me and my brother are getting our mutual friend’s attention away from this friend which is fucking weird since we just played and all.
Current move we do is we distance ourselves to the drama like man it’s pretty draining.
