A man tells that his old best friend, who he had known since childhood, is dying of terminal cancer, but he doesn’t feel sorry for him. Four years ago, he found out that this friend had been cheating on him with his fiancée for two years. The two even talked about getting married after they divorced him and took his money and house. The friend blamed the fiancée and said he was sorry when he was confronted, but the betrayal ended their friendship for life. Later, they got married, and he cut off all ties with both of them.
The friend’s mother, who had always cared for him, came by recently to say that her son was dying and to say sorry one last time. He knew he didn’t care about her, even though she begged him to think about it. He is now happily married and says that the death of his friend will not mean any more to him than the death of a stranger. He thinks that not feeling anything makes him an asshole.
AITAH for not caring that my ex best friend is dying?
