The problem described here is all within the mind of your friend. The Sigalovada Sutta explains, in our lives, we will encounter 'true friends' & 'false friends'. The Sigalovada Sutta describes in detail the characteristics of 'true friends' & 'false friends'.
The method of escape is two-fold:
Discern clearly with wisdom the other person is a 'false-friend'.
Ensure this clear discernment is free from hatred & established in equanimity & concern (compassion).

I had a situation like that. I tried to turn it into a practice to strengthen my patience and compassion(for both of us).
