Quote From: dreamer313I need some advice... my friend had asked me to join her on a short vacation with some of her family. I agreed many months ago and paid her my portion of the trip expenses. About a month or so before we were suppost to leave on our trip, she received a better offer to go somewhere else. Knowing she could only pick one of the two trips, she picked the better offer. Now, I'm out of a few hundred dollars. She mentioned I could go ahead with her family -without her there and not knowing them too well at all. Maybe I'm totally out of my head, but I don't feel thats any position for me to be in. I'm not very happy with this friend or the situation right now. Lately, she's been making me feel as if it were my fault and getting very hateful with me. I honestly wouldn't be this upset if there weren't money involved, but there is, and to me, it's quite alot. What should i do??
You are right. Your "friend" is being very selfish. She has shown no regard for your feelings or the situation she has put you in. If it were me I would openly tell her that this is not acceptable behavior and if she values your friendship she will change her new plans and honor the agreement she made with you in the first place. If she refuses to consider the awkward position that she has placed you in, and begin to behave honorably, I would seriously drop her and seek friendships with people who will treat you with the respect that you deserve.
Will you have your own room (that locks) on this vacation? If so I would go on the vacation anyway and have a good time. When I returned, I would seek to meet some better friends.
