tl:dr I ended my relationship with my friend and he misunderstood it. He now thinks that I never liked him and that i exploited him.
So I finally collected enough courage to end the relationship with my best friend. I wrote him a big letter saying that I our relationship was toxic and that we couldn't continue on with it. I explained that he could be very controlling and that when we have arguments, he uses the silent treatment until I bring the argument up or I apologize.
His reaction to this was very bad. He responded saying that he was very disappointed in me and proceeded to explain how good of a friend he is. He said that he had bought me gifts, introduced me to the gym and been there for me when I was sad. This is true, but he is using these previous actions of kindness as extortion material to accuse me of being ungrateful and exploiting him. He said that "now that you've gotten new friends, it's a good time to leave me, how long have you been planning this?"
Yesterday I woke up only to find out I've lost 10 followers on Instagram. I scrolled through and noticed that it was all of our common friends that had unfollowed. So my former best friend had already told everyone we knew together how much of a monster I am. He even told people that we barely spoke to. This type of smearing is dirty. Those friends, who have only heard his side of the story will now believe it and everyone is going to think that I exploit people, that I am ungrateful and overall a bad human being.
This annoys me a lot. I'm fine with not being friends with him, but now that he is misunderstanding me it can potentially be dangerous. Right now he's angry and that anger can quickly turn to hate and the hate can lead to ugly consequences.
