thoreauThank you to everyone that commented back on this post about anger management - I've decided to have the least amount possible to do with the friend in question. I just can't have that kind of emotional time bomb kind of person in my life.
I've been losing sleep over how to rectify the situation. It'd be different if he felt any need to be accountable for his behavior...but he has made it clear he feels he did nothing wrong. I have talked it over with David at length - agonizing over what to do. The only path I can control is my own - and in my mind and in my heart; if he doesn't feel a need to reach out to me and talk it out and apologize - then the friendship is over.
It is very unfortunate as David and I are both extremely fond of his partner - and we've been friends with them as a couple since the beginning of our relationship; and that is going to make things uncomfortable for a while.
He may get away with being an emotional bully with other people in his life - - but he's absolutely not going to get a second chance to treat me that way.
