Input: So, I was friends with a former co-worker up until today, because apparently I bug her with trivial things, and "don't care that she has real problems going on". 

So, I have a former co-worker (I'm a guy, she's a gal, yes, I'm  the type of guy who doesn't mind female friends, no I'm  not gay) who used to be quite mean to me, until all our other co-workers stopped liking her. She decided she was being unfairly mean to me, and tried to be my friend. Then, she left our work to work somewhere else. She still decided that we would be friends, and we would text/talk, but honestly, never hang out (we hanged out maybe once in 2 years). 

Over these texts/talks, she basically would only complain to me about things in her life, and how horrible things were. 

These items include:

- the death of her mother from suicide (&lt;12 years ago).

- how her grandmother is old and she takes care of her, but because she does, she can't go out and have fun, like travel.

- her dog, which died of old age about a year ago (honestly, that is the most recent thing).

- her relationship with her boyfriend of 7 years, and how he didn't treat her right, then after they broke up, her new boyfriend who also didn't treat her right, and then how they broke up.

- pissed about her brother for pretty much anything.

- how people at her new job were mean to her, and old stories from our work, about people being mean to her.

Most of the time, I tried to be empathetic/sympathetic, but a few months ago, I just gave up paying attention to her talking because it was always the same old stuff (she's depressed about [insert topic from above]). Today, over text she got pissed at me for apparently ignoring her problems (her grandma is sick). She also stated that I never take anything seriously. I just said fuck it, and stopped responding to her texts and she said she can't be my friend anymore. Honestly, I was relieved, because I was tired of her bullshit, and how she would only talk to me whenever she was having a problem that she can't move past.

So, Reddit, am I the asshole?
