The difference is that I've never quit a game in our group or quit our group in a game. I realize that I can't have it all my way all the time. I make accommodations for things that I find less fun in order to get to things that are more fun for me. I play games that are not my first choice, and I run games that aren't either but give the most fun to the most people. I view the group as a group.
My friend is another case. As long as we're playing the game that my friend wants to play, he will play. He also wants it at his house. Both to serve his needs. As soon as we're on to something else, we're on to somewhere else without him. He views the group strictly as a bunch of individuals.
I'm just not used to this attitude with respect to gaming specifically or friends generally. It has taken me a couple of years to adjust to it. I'd like to say that I accept it, but I really don't; I just deal with it. I think it's a pretty poor way to conduct oneself, especially among friends. It's just selfish.
So, to bring it back to the OP, be somewhere between me and my friend. Don't expect the game to go all your way all the itme. But don't quit at the drop of a hat, either.
