Before the pandemic I only saw him in groups and we didn’t interact much because I never let him talk over me or down to me-he actually became really quiet around me! But after the pandemic I plan to stress to our mutual friend that I will not go to any function he is at because she knows how much he annoys me. She’s another woman who has just started peaking but she’s still a doormat in many ways to her old group of (imho) shitty, failed-to-launch friends. She even acknowledged how uncomfortable he made her but she puts up with it because she came from a bad homelife and thinks everyone deserves a chance. Like no thanks he’s a big red flag and you’re going to learn the hard way when he crosses some serious boundaries.
