Feel rubbish. Best friend (of 20+ years) is really crap with money. Tonight her DP calls me to ask to borrow £200 to get them out of latest money pickle. (I'm quite pally with her DP as well) - I could afford it at the moment but said no . Background is a couple of years ago they borrowed £500 to go on holiday, I could afford it at the time but due to various things it took over a year to get paid back by which time I was really struggling myself. She avoided me for a while as she was too embarrassed about not being able to pay it back (I know her well, it really was embarrassment rather than not wanting to pay) and I ended up having to write to her (I mean who writes these days ) and assure her I didn't hate her etc and then we got back in touch and money was paid eventually.
So AIBU to say no this time - don't want to risk any more bad feeling but am hoping she'll understand why I said no. Would you?
