Yesterday I was reminded that someone who claimed to be my best friend was indeed, not. I was chatting with her on the phone when she said out of the blue 'Gabriel, you're a good friend, but you cannot compare to my boyfriend Meir, and you dont stand a chance. She then proceeded to tell me that when she marries this 'Meir' she wants to cut all communication with me, and has forbid me from attending her wedding.
To make it worse, we had a three-line with a mutual friend when me and this 'best friend' got into an argument concerning Family Guy. I was knew I was right, and she kept persisting. At some point, the idea of being 'happy' was brought up and she said to our mutual friend 'Gabriel has a fucked up life, and isnt happy, I'm more happy than he is!'
I hung up and ranted to myself for well over two hours, when she called back and said 'you know I'm right, Gabriel, so there isnt any reason to be upset.' I hung up again.
I've known her for over 5 years, and never has she acted this way. I think its because she is embracing a cold and intolerant religion that preaches separation and callous feelings towards the opposite sex (with the exception of one's wife/husband.)
