I booked a holiday with two friends in august. I paid 950 for it and took out a loan in order to go. In november I lost my job-everything changed. I had to get rid of my car, move house and we are just getting by right now.
Since then I have been telling them if i dont find work i cant go. I mentioned about finding someone else to take my place etc and each time i was guilt tripped and given a load of old fluff about how it will be fine.. and theyl help and get a loan off your dad etc
Today i was really stressing about it so i told one of them i really cant go. I cant get into debt over a holiday and its not my main priority right now. Shes really pissed, was manipulative, tried to guilt trip me, said they wont go etc..
Im not sure how to feel about this. A part of me thinks she is being an inconsiderate, selfish, manipulative a**hole and that I have just lost a friend over this. I think she should be more understanding and compassionate.
But on the other hand I do feel bad and wondering should I go? My dad will lend me the money..
She suffers from polycystic ovaries and was recently in hospital with a cyst. She mentioned she might not be able to go and I didn't blow up on her. If she were in my shoes, i know for a fact i wouldn't react the way she did.
Whether I go or not there not losing anything. Its all paid for and they can go without me without any financial loss to them.
I feel selfish if I go coz were struggling and i dont think its fair to put more financial strain on my bf
Please share some thoughts with me. The friend that is being b**tchy right now-were not that close so if she chooses to end our friendship over this-she can go to hell. But the other friend is my BEST friend and has been for years. I dont want to fall out with her and im sure the other one has been in her ear by now..
