Ok I told her Need your opinions on how it sounded.

Well ill fill you in on the story first. I have been having problems with my bestfriend. I recently moved to another state with my b/f and she came later by herself. We became really close since then. Well she has this crappy bf that she is with then isn’t and it changes every week or day sometimes. He is a jerk and treats her like crap she even admits that he is mentally abusive to her. I am always trying to go out of my way to give her really good advice and boost her self esteem so she can be happy. Yet everytime he comes out here or she goes home she suddenly stops talking to me and ignores me. And im sick of it. It makes me feel as if she is only my friend because she is lonely or doesnt have anyone else. I just dont feel like she is being sincere i guess. Well since she came back I havent talked to her because Ive been pretty upset about how shes been. Then she suddenly writes me and email saying I want 18 dollars you owe me and this and that and etc. I thought it was crappy she couldnt even ask why I hadnt been talking to her. Well theres more to it but I dont feel like getting into it. So here is what I wrote back. I would love to hear your honest opinions if I was to mean or not. I like to know so I can learn how to handle things more appropriately.

“Yea well to be honest I’m sick of how u are every time you go home or Preston(her boyfriend) is here you suddenly stop calling or talking to me. And I’m sick of it. I’m a really good friend to you and you acting like that as soon as you get around him is ********. Date who you want but dont be a bad friend in doing so. To be honest it makes me think that your only friends with me when you have no one else but as soon as you got him or have anyone else our friendship doesnt mean anything to you. And thats ********! I know when Im with Jeff (my boyfriend) or any of my other friends I still try to have you around! I dont just have you as a temporary friend untill I have something better. And as far as the money I dont even know what I owe you for. But it sounds kinda bitchy when you lay it out like that. That all you care about is getting what is yours. And if you wanna be like that then ill do it too. You still owe me money for that camera and seriously i cant even think of how many times Ive bought beer or made dinner for you or how about gas money for Jeff taking you to the airport or even when we would go play video games and i would let you use all my tokens. Sounds kinda childish when i lay it out like that now dont it? But I NEVER say hey you need pay me back because Ive learned that friendships should always come before money and if you make it to where its always about it then someone is gonna get tired of the other person being cheap. And when are you at school cuz maybe you can give me my stuff and ill give yours back.”

i think its a good thing you told her how you feel… i think you said everything right considering she probably needs to stick that to her mind a little before she accutally realizes what shes doing…

Sounds good to me also. It’s always best to lay your cards on the table, and to pull no punches. I feel as you mentioned, that you were merely a convenience for her when things were going down hill for her. She truly doesn’t know the frist thing about what it is to be a friend. Settle the money issue etc. and be on your way and don’t look back. Some people will just have to learn the hard way. Her loss sadly :(

Here is she wrote back…… and she has def not talked to me when she is with him….and when i didnt talk to her it was because I needed a break from her constantly talking about how so and so owes her money and etc….

well honestly that is not even the case. i always did talk to u when i was back with preston. i am not trying to sound bitchy but i dont need neone. the person i need in my life is my mom and she will always be there for me. u can keep the money and the only reason i said u or jeff can come get ur stuff is becuase our schedules at school are totally different i even told u that through a text recently. and i have no gas and no money iam struggling right now. i have never once put money first in a friendship. it is just becuase brittany iam struggling with money and that is really true. i did talk to u when i was with preston. he is not going to make me lose friends, he would never do that in the first place. he might comment or somehting about me hanging around my friends back at home but he has never said nething bad about u or jeff. i thought it was kinda ****** when i was going to get ur camera cord from ur mom and u got mad and flipped out when i was in kentucky w preston. i promised that i was going to get it and u told me 2 forget about it. the money situation is kinda ****** also because yah i know u and jeff has helped me out with dinner and laundry at ur house but i have helped u guys out 2. i know there has been times u brought beer and so on. but we always equaled that out with others things. its ****** that our friendship is going down this road. u were such a great friend to me. i have never ever had a friend to be there for me like u were. i was there for u too when u and jeff were not going good. there has been times when u and jeff got back together and u didnt talk to me for like a week actually i think that happen 2 times. that hurt i didnt know what was going on with u at all. when i am friend to someone iam there for them. through the bad and the good. so everything happens for a reason so its ok i understand where u coming from and u should see where iam coming from. hopefully we work this out.
when i said jeff or u could come get ur things is because jeff passes my house on the way home from work so it wouldnt be out of his way. ttyl
