A classy photograph frame with a snapshot of yourself. . . for his "gallery of friends" and a sincere request from him to do the same for you and your gallery of friends someday after the holidays.

As much as you want. She is your friend? Dont think friendship should have a price.

Its not about money, its what you have inside...It is not a cliche.  Your friend needs to brag because there is something missing in her life and thats the only way she feels important.  Maybe you are better looking than she is and she needs to be as "good" as you are and thats why she brags about the money thing.  Feel for her, dont get angry with her,  the only thing she sees herself as money and what it can buy.  Just keep on being friends with her and in time she will learn that money does not define who we are.  Just be yourself, maybe make a joke of it when she brags and say something like....."you are beautiful, you dont need to buy all that stuff"  Build her insides up...make her feel good about herself and show her that money isnt everything.  You are a good friend and it seems you are quite "together" because although it makes you angry, you dont hate her because of it.  Sounds to me like she needs a friend like you.  Just keep on being her friend and she will eventually learn from you.  She will learn that she doesnt need to brag about money for you to like her, and she will eventually not feel the need to brag.

Well, waiting for him to offer money first would be your best bet.  If you ask before he offers, he might think you are a gold digger.  Hint to him you are broke and you need a jump start until you can get on your feet.  Or maybe borrowing the money would make you look more responsible.

ask your friends for money like i said before and then make sure to pay them back in the future or put MORE money in your savings account

Well as you probably have already guessed, he doesn't respect you. Once someon loses their respect for someone then they are capable of doing silly things.\n\nFrom my experience, I've been there before, it is unfortunately going to have to be one of those situations that you may have to totally forget about your stuff. He is acting really immature and using your stuff to still hold on, for whatever reason. It is a control thing. He likes  the control.\nSo, don't give it to him, Just walk away completely, don't have your friends get in touch with him to get the stuff or anything like that. I'm so sorry to have to tell you that cause I know what it is like to not get your stuff back, when it is your stuff. What goes around, comes around.\nHe will eventually end up losing stuff as well that will equal what you lost. I know that sounds weird but I have had many experiences like this that have happened. Weird but true.\nI lost $2000 I let him borrow to my boyfriend of 3-1/2 years. I tried a couple of times to get it back but to no avail. So I came to the conclusion that I would rather walk away from the money then go through the agony of getting it back AND seeing his face again. Since I had broken up with him I just really never wanted to see him again. What goes around comes around. He got his eventually, he ended up going into major debt and owing the creditors tones of money and screwed up his credit for years and years.\n\nAbout the chatter that is going on, well, that again you can diffuse if you don't respond to it AT ALL. No matter what is being said. Him and maybe even your friends are just doing it to get a "rise" out of you. Don't play that game. Your better than that.\nYou'll look stronger and feel better about the whole situation if you don't respond and just stay friend with your friends, the ones that are worth it, and remind yourself that this will pass. When they see you move on and that none of this is bothering you they will be impressed and move on as well. It may take a bit but hold on, it will come. Time heals all!!\n\nRemembre, it is all about control and insercurity on his part. Don't let him get the best of you since you are soo much stronger than him.\n\nI wish you all of the best and good luck. I hope that helped!

Well you seem to be going through alot! I am sorry! I will be praying for you and your friend! I wish I had all the answers -but I don't! Off course you want to help her- she is your friend- but it sounds like she needs help you can't give her! You need to decide do you want live with her! Can you deal with all the drama? Really search yourself- because she is going to need support and a lot of help! I wish you the best! You sound like a really good friend- when she will let you be her friend! A word -- never cheat! No matter what a person says to you! Just not a good plan! You take care- if you like to talk- http://360.yahoo.com/cloeenloe

i will be honest with you. the best person to go out with is that devil that you know about than this beautiful angel. Now you say you are good friends and i shouls assume this is based from true friendship and understanding. I would bet my money on him unless of course there is something so deficient about this guy which should cause you to back off.\nhowever, at the moment you are not ready and there is nothing as bad as a forced relationship it takes ages to get into gear and thats after some unneccessary qaubbles and these are not needed especially when you have something to loose like a good friendship.\nit would have to take tact and patience on both your parts to make things work here. You presenting your case for him to buy and him understanding you. The greater duty here is with you. Just make him understand afterll you are good friends, that you can't go out now. And don't put it in such a way as to hint to him that in future there may be hope. you are not ready and ready thats the bottom line. However, if you really believe that its an issue of readiness and not that you don't fancy the guy then at least leave the door an inch open and trust me without pointing it to him he will see it. At the time that you know you are ready then you can lead him like a dog on a leash.

Only if you can afford not to have it paid back or don't value the friendship because it won't last down the road. Money has a way of separating even the best of friends. They'll forget about it, you'll never see them again, you'll get tired of asking for it & get mad seeing them spend money on things when they should be repaying you, they'll get mad if you keep asking for it back, etc, etc, etc. It's easier in the long run not to get involved. Even the 'best' of friends will surprise you when it comes to money.

I think he is. Did you try to explain to him how much it hurts you when he withdraws from you? He needs to tell you when you do something to upset him so you can work it out and get it out in the open. He is holding things in which only makes it worse. Make sure he understands that he has to be open and honest with you in order for your friendship to last. That is part of what being a good friend is. I wish you luck and hope you two work things out. Good friends are hard to come by so that makes it worth trying to work things out.

Your friend offers to steal something for you.  Is that all right?  He's not making a profit.  Is that what you are asking?  If you can't afford it, you don't need it.  Stick with the radio for now.

If you are indeed a good friend of his then yes..I think you should tell him what you are seeing. But do it with kindness. No accusations...no saying things like you are living your life all wrong. You need to go in gently or you will put him on the defense. Something like.."hey Joe..I've been worrying about you lately. Seems you've been spending more money than you seem to have coming in. I'd really hate to see you get into financial hot water and lose more than you have.  Maybe we could set ourselves up with a finance therapist who can help us figure out how to fix this before it's out of control."  At least that way he sees that you are concerned and willing to help him. Not judging him. Good luck!

I should say NO, do not end it. Distance yourself though, this is the reality of life and you have learnt it without loosing your life.\n\nStop pouring yourself to them anymore. Just be friends, remember if she ever turns around for help to you -if you can offer without an effort that is, make it a point that you do this as a favor. Make him/her obligated to what you have done for her. Mind you, do not loose yourself as you make her realise what he/she has done.\n\nRemember, we pay back our debts in this world -be patient, you will get your chance to collect, with interest.

Get a plane ticket and fly to him to show him how much you care for him. Worst case you lose some money but have a great story to tell your friends..

It sounds like your friend is depressed! I would suggest that you help her find a religious counselor or someone that she can trust who does professional counseling. Once she has addressed her depression, have her go to legal aid, and see what her rights as a single mother of 2 who has been deserted so her husband (and the father of her children) can pursue an adulterous relationship and how much she is entitled to get legally. \n\nShe may need to join a support group for single mothers, she can learn from others in her own situation. She will get the answers to many questions, there will be others there that will teach her that she MUST attend to basic needs BEFORE she considers tuition to a private school. The money must go for household expenses and bills and food. Then whatever extras that can be afforded (while still trying to hold on to some "emergency money"). There should be health insurance for both of the children and her too, and that can be negotiated in the divorce settlement. If the man is rich, then she should be in good shape once she begins to get her full support and alimony payments, and she learns how to budget her money. \n\nPlease do not be too critical of her failure to be able to pursue her education with enthusiasm right now. Your friend may be in some real trouble emotionally. She may need to talk to someone who deals with people who are depressed.\n\nGood luck, and remember if your friend needs inspiration sometimes the best place to find it is in faith! Learning to trust in herself and to believe that she can do what needs to be done, is something that you cannot buy for her. I believe if you are a good friend, you can help her find the right path, you cannot do it for her though. When you do things for her, she does not have to do them for herself.\n\nGood luck, and my prayers for you and your friend. She does have 2 excellent reasons to live and to heal her broken heart and bruised feelings! Plus she is really blessed to a good friend like you! I am sure that means a lot to both her and her kids too!\nruthie~
