I know right off the bat you fags will say "You should never loan money to friends..." but let's put it into context...about two years ago one of my best friends was having custody issues with his ex over his son....she is a meth junkie, he is a hard working guy that doesn't make tons of money but gets by...I dont make tons of cash either but have always kept a good nest egg for "just in case" situations, I told him I'd give him an open ended loan of $1500 to start the custody battle process, that he could payback over time in any way possible without putting him or his family in a financial bind. (He won in the courts and has full custodyof his son since)...over the two years he managed to pay $300 on it which was fine...those were the terms. This year around tax season and Biden bucks I estimated he raked in around $10,000....he talked about clearing all his debts, to which I said...."Clear up all your bills, and whatever your family needs before closing the debt with me...family first..." Well yesterday I got on Faceberg as I do when I'm hungover and being lazy to see my friend has bought him a nice new motorcycle.....Initially I became pissed, and remain pissed (More offended, or hurt...but pissed!) Thoughts? Am I being a bitch about it?

I would be a bit upset as well. I think you did the right thing in the beginning. Usually money lent to a friend is rather, a gift. This is kind of a slap in the face, and I assume by your dilemma, was not expected. If this is a friendship worth preserving, the question is, do you let the money go and therefore let the resentment go?

I tend to drop people like a bad habit. Because I’m a smart ass, I’d be inclined to blow him up on faceberg if it would be seen by everyone else.

Good luck mang.
