person A: I found myself suddenly by myself and it seemed as if all the people I had become friends with were no longer wanting to still be friends.  I mostly met all of them through him when we got together_comma_ and when he left me he told them not to speak to me anymore and they listened.
person B: That's sad. But I'm sure they stil want to be firends with you too
person A: I dont think they do.  He was an abusive guy and he didnt want me to have them as friends and he would make up lies about me .  I dont think it was so much the lies he made up because they knew they were not true.  I think they were just loyal to him.
person B: Posibly. Sounds like you are better off without him though
