Avoiding my ToR buddy

I have a confession to make and it does not feel good. This is also not a troll and I accept that many others enjoy the game. Unfortunately i think I'm no longer on of them.
I haven't logged in for weeks for more than 20 minutes or so. I don't even remember what all the stuff in the action bar does anymore. The problem is that I bought this game to play with a friend and he is having a blast playing his bounty hunter. He says Imp is really different and a lot more populated but I just can't bring myself to play the other side. Saying that, I can't bring myself to play my own side. Recent events seemed to have crystalized exactly what I'm unhappy with.
At this point I'm sure I'm just wasting money but I don't know how to tell him the game is just killing me. I had to move away from where we both lived and MMOs were sort of the way we keep in tough. We're chalk and chees game-wise as he rushes to endgame and I take my time.
He sent me a text that he's gonna be on tonight and I honestly cant do it so I just ignored his message. What do you do if your mate's playstyle and tastes are totally different from your own? Should I just grind to 50 just to see what it's like?

Dude! You always tell your friends the truth! Otherwise they are not your friends!
So you need to be at the same level as each other to chat and such?
My advice would be to not bother anyway. SWTOR is dying fast. Their development team thinks it knows better than the gamers playing it, and so won't give gamers what they want. It's a fail.
RPers have consistently twisted what RPG means. In doing that, and consistently being the most vocal minority on pretty much every gaming related site, they are slowly killing the genre.

Enter a whole new realm of challenge and adventure.
This a serious question?
Sorry but the only fail is you....They listen quite a bit, however not catering to every 14 yr old fat kid wants does not mean they dont care.
Good advice. And to the other poster, yes, it's a serious question. I'm more canvasing opinion rather than looking for an answer. My real issue is that I'm too damn slow when it comes to progressing and I'm wondering if I'm cheating myself by quitting now and not getting to endgame.

Love your Avater Leethe. It looks like the old WW2 Australian Indian bikes messengers used.
The sooner you fall behind the more time you have to catch up.

I guess there are a couple possibilities if you just grind it out: The game becomes totally awesome to you and unicorns fart rainbows all over your monitor (that might be the next patch) or you wasted both you and your buddy's time tediously leveling. Which is more realistic (excluding unicorns of course)?
If the storyline, which was supposed to be a big feature, is not engaging you then you could see if another class is better for sure. If the mechanics are not engaging to you, then that likely won't change a whole lot.
At any rate, I can see where you're coming from. Personally, I enjoy playing more with my friends then going at it alone (else why play an mmo/co-op right?). Best you can do is let your buddy know that you're just not feeling it. If he is having fun without you playing, then he isn't the one creating the sense of obligation. He probably just wants to share that fun and, if it's not fun for you, let him get to it without feeling like he's leaving you behind.

maybe your friend has also been pretending to like the game for the same reasons as you. That would be a funny situation. But you should have been telling him whats up the very first time you logged and were weary of the game.
TOR Buddy sounds like a doll you are supposed to play with at an older age than you are supposed to be playing with dolls.
I was too afraid I would misspell "friend" and be able to correct it.
