I don't understand why people keep friends like these, then bitch and complain about them, then defend them. I know more than a couple of people who do this and it just blows my mind. I don't associate with starfishs like this forgeter, and if I come to find someone I know acts this way, I tell them to forget off. You've grown affectionate toward a cancerous tumor, is it so hard to cut it off? I know it's no problem for me, at least.
