Was there a better way to escape the inane chatter?
Every time I invite her to dinner or to an event, she expects me to pay for everything. She has gone as far as asking me for a loan, for groceries, etc.
She has a really good job and makes really good money. I am a single mother with only my income, which is not a lot. There was one time that I asked her for gas money, and she went ballistic. She said she doesn’t help anybody financially, then stopped talking to me. I have stopped helping her altogether and will not give in anymore. I don’t want to lose 27 years of friendship, but I don’t want to be her friend if all she’s going to do is ask for money. Please help!If friendship were defined by longevity , we would all have more friends — without being any better off.
