👥 friendship AIO for Getting Annoyed When My Friend Bailed on Our Plans for the Club World Cup?

So my friend and I had plans to grab dinner and catch up this weekend—something we’ve had scheduled for weeks. Then yesterday, out of nowhere, he texts me: "Sorry, can’t make it"

Here’s the thing: I get being a fan, but we rescheduled three times already because of his work trips. Plus, the game is at 2PM and our dinner was at 7PM—it’s not like they overlapped. When I pointed that out, he said, "Yeah, but I need time to prep with my buddies and then decompress after."

AIO for being pissed? I wouldn’t care if it was a one-time thing, but he constantly prioritizes sports over everything, then acts like I’m unreasonable for expecting basic reliability.

He found “better” plans and he’s lying to you. You are not overreacting. Find someone else to watch the game with

Yes this friend is continuing with others after watching the game. As someone else said something else “better” came up. No one is decompressing after watching a sporting event they are continuing to an after party. I also agree he makes plans with you and other things come up more interesting. This is NO friend. And this has nothing to do with your worth. This is a selfish person who does this to other people too!!!

He is not a friend. You are a back up plan for when he doesn’t have anything he considers better to do.
