i used to have this friend. acquaintance might be a better word but we were somewhere in between the two. she got married and her husband was 100% the MtG rules lawyer type. they invited us over for a board game night (i can figure out rules and reliable strategies after one or two rounds. they played a game i knew and I won each round with more than double the next highest player’s point total. dude was so pissed off about losing a game to the disabled guy that he gave his wife an ultimatum that we could no longer be friends. I care about as much about ultimatums as i do people who give in to the manipulation, so no big loss.
On the ultimatum note… there was this guy who was friends with my friends, I didn’t know him well, but they spent a lot of time together and I did see him many times a year. My friends were a couple (m/f). I asked why I hadn’t seen him in awhile, and they told me that he got a new girlfriend and his new girlfriend didn’t want him hanging out with other women, so he pretty much stopped being friends with them. I haven’t seen him since, it’s been like a decade.
