I've been in a similar situation and have dealt with friend's that support values that I don't.

How did you deal with it?

The friends that you can still have a dialogue with are worth talking to. I suggest friends that don't understand how you feel you stop talking to since they hurt you.

Maybe. Paul is usually hard to get a hold of so it might take a couple of weeks.

I understand it can be tough to get a hold of friends.
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yeah, Paul is aloof like that. But realistically maybe in the next few weeks I can have a good conversation with him.
user

I would suggest meeting somewhere that you both enjoy. Maybe grab a burger and beer if that is your type of thing.
assistant

That's a great idea. It could make things less tense.

I've done something similar myself. A friend and I used to go to this one restaurant and I used that a meeting place for tough conversations.

Paul really likes IPA's so a brewery would probably be a good spot.

That does sound like a good idea.
