My best friend stole $120 from me today.
Cash.
She was the only one in the house; husband came home with it last night; we've looked everywhere.
And she called me yesterday to ask me to lie to a friend of hers so that she could borrow $175 for a car payment on her boyfriend's car.
I am absolutely heartbroken, not to mention we kinda really needed the money.

I know we're all having a hard time right now..but she could have just asked. She's been my best friend for ten years; and the only one I have left who knew my now-dead ex-fiance. Guess all that is gone.

Not sure what we're going to do. Hoping for the best.

Drinking and crying,
lildreamer316

2. Damn, what a sad post. I'm so sorry.
That's tough. Maybe a bigger picture will emerge to take the edge off.

Could all be a huge mistake.

Good luck and please let us know the outcome.

That's a real blow.

5. I really hope so, but...
this morning,when she was over (we are both sleeping on the couches in the living room that is open to the kitchen because we don't have heat in the bedroom right now, only in son's room) she was volunteering to feed and change my son..in other words, I remember my brain saying to me, "why is she being so nice?".

I knew, even being half-asleep when she was talking to me,that something wasn't right.

Believe me, I really wish it was all a big mistake.

..thanks.

3. I'm so sorry. That was really shitty of her.
I hope you can somehow repair the friendship, though, if you think that's what's best.

Lots of love,

6. I have repaired this friendship
Edited on Wed Jan-13-10 07:26 PM by lildreamer316
two or three times.

I think this might be the end of it.

I'm not even that angry, just dissapointed..because this means she is really headed down a bad road.

Thanks.. :hug:


AND HEY.

Love you. You are a wonderful soul, no matter what your parents do. Never forget that.

4. You may have been her best friend but it sure wasn't the other way around.
I'm truly sorry you have to go through this.

8. yeah friends and family steal from you
i hate to be so cynical but so many friends/family members steal because they know you're not gonna be able to do anything abt it

a stranger might be afraid of being arrested or at least accused, the friend/family member knows they won't face any consequences and they've already decided that the $$$ they "borrowed" is worth more to them than your friendship

this person is a friend no more

been there, done that, and i can't tell you anything else except send you a hug

the friend already decided the friendship was over when she decided it was worth less to her than the $120
