My spouse's crappy friend ignored the "no pizza, there's a pandemic and frankly your invitation was pushy and rude" message for a month, until my spouse went ahead and called them to talk about it.
At which point the friend started arguing but whyyyyyyyyy is there something wrong with this? And my spouse felt obligated to explain, for half an hour, that NO MEANS NO.
Because apparently "it really upset me when you did this" is not a good enough reason. Honestly, "this person does not think my feelings are worth considering when interacting with me" is such a horrifying realization that my spouse is pretty much done, at this point.
This person is still part of the friend group, and likely will be for some time, so we'll likely have to see them (I mean, not literally at the moment, but you know) still, and fend off this person's black hole of a personality, so we'll see how it goes.
