Leo moon

We went to LA for the weekend. He wanted to rent a car. We split the cost of the hotel, rental, excursions. He had been acting a bit childish the majority of the weekend. He even left me sleeping in the hotel room, no note, No nada.

When we drove to Long Beach, I fell asleep and slept from 6 to midnight. I woke up and he was nowhere to be found and nor was the car. Again. No text or note from him. I texted him and no response. I called and he said he was at the club and then a bar. No worries because that's not my scene. I was just irritated that he didn't even leave a note or send a fyi text. I told him that and he tried to give me a song n dance.

Whatever. I got dressed and went out to get a tattoo via uber.

Then he texts me that he won't be coming back and to not wait up. He's drunk and doesn't want to drive.

Cool. I don't have to rush back to the house.

Despite him I had a really cool evening and got lucky!



The next day Gemini is his usual apologetic helpful self after he feels guilty for his actions.

We go on a tour and on the way back to the car he sees some damage to the drivers side bumper. He's very hysterical about it. I go over and it's minimal damage. He rented the car and he is all nuts about the cost and the insurance. I tell him that he purchased the insurance and he should be good.

But then he starts going on and on about what are WE going to do about OUR car. I keep telling him to relax because he got the insurance and just in case he lied to me about that they have his personal insurance.

So he spent the whole day asking me what I wanted to do about this car. And I was starting to sound like a broken record. Then he tracked done a guy to fix it, meanwhile trying to make buddy buddy with me. Forgetting how he ditched me.twice already.

I was pretty distant with him because im.not going to beg anyone to spend time with me. This was meant to be a solo trip anyway and I am perfectly capable of going solo.

We went to dinner with some friends of his and they were kinda bashing gemini's past and behavior towards his exes and roommates. I felt their anguish and could relate. They even joked that I probably won't be speaking to him after the trip.

He told them the car damage story and it sounded as fake to me then as it did the first time he showed me the damage.

He wants me to pay $ 40 half the cost of repairs. But I don't think I should be responsible. I don't believe his story, He could have damaged it while drunk, he can't prove that I am personally responsible.



What do u guys think?

First, hello stranger. I was gonna break my "I don't make thread policy" to find out where they hell you went.

Second, it sounds like he's feeding you bullsh*t to reduce his responsibility, but here's the thing. You have an understanding you would split the cost of the trip/rental/etc. That includes any and all issues that arise, so technically you are also responsible. With that stated, I personally wouldn't have even ask to split it if I caused that damage---even if we had that agreement, because I just don't think its cool to ask for payment because I couldn't handle my alcohol, but many people don't operates from that point of view.

He should own the fact that he messed up the car and just handle it on his own and the fact that he isn't, tells me how I would deal with this person moving forward. I don't ask people to do what's right, I wait to see if they will. If not, cool. You go in the "I have no plans to ever f*ck with you again" category without hesitation.

Personally, I wouldn't debate the issue with him. I'd simply pay it and delete block his number and we don't know each other anymore from that point forward. I don't deal with bullsh*t behaviour, but no one will ever accuse me of not honouring my agreements.

I'm curious though, had he not acted like a d*ck for the trip would you still debate splitting the cost of the car damage?

No I wouldn't even give it a second thought.

His body of work the entire weekend was whack.

My plan is to pay the lil ol $ 40 and then sever this friendship. But I want him to know to his face that he is a fraud and I knew this trip was going to show me exactly who he is.

My ex is a Gem Sun/Leo Moon and he would rather chew off his left arm than ask for money for an accident he caused. Way too proud for that. He also wouldn't never bail on someone he's taking a trip with. Even if they aren't involved romantically. Why bother take the trip together?

I don't think that combo is the issue here.
My thoughts exactly.
