So my friend reaches out about wanting to buy tickets to a concert and tinanong niya kung pwedeng makigamit ng card ko. I do this for them for random, small things, never naman kami nagkaroon ng issue sa bayaran.

Kaso ayaw niya ipaalam sa jowa niya. For context, she’s been unemployed for a while, and kaka-start niya lang halos sa new work, technically proxy siya ng jowa niya dun sa gig na yun, so yung jowa kumbaga nagpapasahod sa kanya (i.e. managing her finances essentially.) Nagalit kasi nung nagpaalam siya, sabi tigilan daw muna at may paglalaanan na yung mga next sahod niya.

I felt uncomfortable, mainly because of the fact na kailangang itago when I’m friends with both of them, so I said no. Sinabi ko naman directly na I think that would just risk huge conflict between the three of us, and the trust between them and myself I think is important. Di naman na siya nangulit, but I feel a little bad kasi siyempre baka ma-miss nila yung concert, and it’s not like I don’t trust her to pay me back either. Just that I think the boyfriend has a point, and I think it’s important that I don’t contribute to something that can potentially create conflict between them. I just don’t want my friend to resent me for this either.

ABYG?
