Search Results: selfish friend

I got laid off this month and my friend is encouraging me to run an online Christian ministry and live off the donations

Like mostly all pastors in this world are doing their sermons online now

My friend's boyfriend has a beach house in Ocean City that they're going to quarantine in for two weeks. They asked my boyfriend and I to visit ( we're all friends). I said no because I live with my mother who owns an assisted living. My boyfriend keeps trying to convince me to go. I told him he was being selfish since he lives with his grandfather. Am I overreacting?

Hi!

I reckon that my girlfriend is a good person. We have many common friends, have already been on a holiday together and she is a very loving person. However, I find myself in situations where I think that she’s acting pretty selfish.

Financial issues are a big red flag: we usually take turns paying when we're going out, but still, I often end up paying at least a part of the bill. Once, we were planing to go out with my friends and I was waiting for her because she was already late. She arrives by running towards me, jumps on my lap and starts kissing me as if we hadn't seen each other for weeks. But as soon as we get in the subway, she goes "Well, I have 20 bucks for both of us, but if that's not enough, you can pay the rest of the bill". 20 bucks is definitely not enough for this restaurant and she went on a shopping trip earlier that day. When I tried to discuss it, she changed the subject "And I forgot to bring my jacket" (which usually implies: give me yours). After our money talk, she completly changes her attitude: I have to keep the conversaton going whilst she replies with short phrases or is rather focused on her business. When we leave the subway, she's suddenly not so eager about holding hands or kisses.

Don't get me wrong: I'm don't think that she is only my girlfriend because my parents are rich. But her behaviour is so weird. It's not like she's poor - she's spending a lot of money on travelling, clothes or 13 bucks per cocktail. I have the impression that she is walking all over me.

In my previous relationships I've been taken advantage of every time, I don't want that to happen again.

Stay safe!
