Dismissive

I have a friend who we are always very happy go lucky and bonded. But when he gets in a bad mood he just treats me like I am a total stranger and becomes very condescending. We have had a conversation about this and he apologized and promised to work on it but still goes on to do it again, and again. It used to make me feel so bad before, especially as at that point it made me wonder if our friendship has been all trash. Now, I have moved from feeling bad, to understanding, to making him earn my friendship and creating healthy boundaries. When all is good, we hug a lot and really play, but that mean switch thing he does is toxic. So this time, I'm really letting him face his repercussion of ditching friends just because he's in a bad mood. And, I will also remove myself from any scenario that allows him talk condescendingly to me. I'm never putting myself in that situation again. Especially as I have never treated him like crap when he pisses me off, or even like when he gets condescending. It's sad that our friendship that used to be special is fast loosing meaning to me.
