So Iāve been friends with, letās call her Bailey. Iāve been friends with Bailey for over 3 years. We met at work and we got close quick. Our friendship has been good sheās always been a ārealā one. Iāve invited her to one or two of my daughterās parties and she hasnāt came which thatās fine, I donāt expect anyone to show up. Everyone has their own lives and I understand that. I went to her baby shower when she was pregnant and I was legit her only friend that came. Everyone else was her dudes friends/fam. She seemed appreciative that I showed up and for the stuff I got the baby. I invited her to my daughterās bday party which is next week.Well Bailey asked me a few weeks if she could borrow a little money, she has asked a few times before but Iām a single mom I usually donāt have anything left over to help her. I let her borrow the the money, she said she would have it Thursday when her dude gets paid I asked if she was for sure she said yeah. Thursday comes and I donāt hear from her, Friday she messaged me and says sheās waiting for him to get off work so she can send it. Didnāt get it Friday. Saturday rolls around and same thing she texts me and says when he gets out the shower Iāll have him send it to you. Itās been about 3 weeks and she hasnāt even been opening my messages on Snapchat (primary source of communication) she has still been posting to her story on snap and posting stuff on facebook so I feel like she has to be avoiding my to not even open our chat. Well I uninvited her from the event page for my daughter party(although she either hasnāt noticed or isnāt gonna say anything bc she owes me). I feel bad that I uninvited them bc I know her son would have a blast but she hasnāt even acknowledged that sheās owed me in weeks, is completely avoiding me. Iām not even upset about the money I personally consider borrowed money, spent money but I figured I could trust her as sheās never given me a reason not to until now. I want to message her on Facebook and say something like āIt really seems like your avoiding me and I just want to tell you idc about the money if you donāt have it you donāt have it, Iām more upset that you arenāt responding to me than anything. . Also feel itās important to note that the amount she borrowed is the same amount that her sons slot for party costs so Iād be losing out on twice as much if I still let them come but I feel like such an AH from taking this away from her son, although there isnāt any guarantee that they would have actually come. Iām new to setting boundaries and it just feels mean to uninvite them over this.
NTA! Iām glad youāre setting boundaries but Iām also sad youāre going through this especially with someone you considered a friend. Iād say send the message you typed on here so thereās no bad blood but personally, Iād keep her at a distance going forward.
