Best friend owes me money

This is how you get your money back

She earns £25 a month because its a morning paper round, we're only 16 to be fair with you.

I've been friends with her for 13 years, I thought that maybe if I laid down my pride and said "yeah I was a total dick but is this really worth ruining our friendship for?" Then maybe she might see reason.

She meant the absolute world to me, second behind my younger brother. I would've literally done anything for her, but now I see that she actually wouldn't have done the same for me unfortunately.

The thing is that I'm a really loyal friend, I try and be the best friend I can be because I've been treated so poorly in the past. But it never pays off like I hope it will. I've only got one friend who actually treats me like I treat them, and although I'm not "bezzies" with him, I can definitely see myself become close friends with him because he's on the same page as me. He treats me like his equal. In a non-romantic sense.

She's becoming absolutely pathetic over this and I can't stand her anymore. She's made me emotional and cynical, I don't deserve that after everything I did for her. The one time I stood up for myself and it lost me my best friend.

But I can leave now. I'm going to start college, learn from my mistakes and move on. The ball's in her court, and if she wants to talk, ill listen. But I most definitely won't be forgiving. Because I'm an absolute bitch, as she pointed out, and she's gonna learn the definition of it.

Thank you for your reply, it actually really helped.

OK, I was wrong to jump to conclusion, knowing nothing about you or your friend, so I can only apologize. As you say, the only option is to move on and forget that it ever happened, and if she ever wants to rekindle the friendship you had with her, she is free to make contact( i think this very very kind of you! ). If it ever comes to that point hopefully she pays you back whatever she owns you.

I'm gonna turn into a cynical distrusting bastard *cackle*

It's not so much that she was using me for my money, because half of the time it's me going "oh I'll pay for it and you can pay me back later!". It's just the pay me back later that she doesn't understand. She wants to get all the money she owes together before she pays off her debts, which ill be lucky to see before I die *eye roll*.

Yep I get what you mean I say you make distance and if she changes and realises her mistake its up to you to decide what to do but learn from this


Posted from TSR Mobile

Yeah that's the big plan! I've learnt from my mistakes. This has been a really useful lesson to me!

Thank you for your replies.

Hey op you think you have it bad. I'm 16 have have about a grand in Inheritance from my gran in a savings account. Well I'do untill my mum borrowed it with out asking.


Posted from TSR Mobile

Isn't that illegal? Tell her to give it back or you'll let the authorities sort it out?


Posted from TSR Mobile

You don't need to apologise! Sorry I made you feel as if you said something wrong.

This friendship obviously wasn't as strong as I believed, and it failed under testing like I failed my geography exam D:

Thank you so much for your replies, they honestly did help a lot!


Posted from TSR Mobile

Kinda not illegal. She has joint control of the account cos I'm still underage


Posted from TSR Mobile

I was completely wrong. I'm not shying away from that.

What i have seen so far, you sound like a very kind person, not the sort of person who would hurt their friends and I'm happy you're learning from your mistakes

Bloody hell that sucks, man. Sorry to hear that. Have you spoke to her about it and told her that it's YOUR inheritance and that she shouldn't have stolen it, and if she has plans on repaying it?


Posted from TSR Mobile

We are kinda poor so there is no way she can pay it back. If she had have asked I would have said yes cos she genuinely did need it. Just pissed about the not asking thing.


Posted from TSR Mobile

Ah that makes more sense. Try talking to her about her not asking and why it's pissed you off. You shouldn't have to suffer because of it. Hope everything turns out okay, man, best of luck!


Posted from TSR Mobile

Yeh. Hope it works put with your friend too.
