In March I loaned a friend of mine £100. I have lent him the odd £20 here and there which he has always paid me back promptly so I was happy to do it this time. He said he would pay me back the following week when he got paid.
It's been 2 months now and I'm still waiting. When I broached the subject he said "a few things had cropped up" but kept promising to pay me back. The last time I spoke to him (Sunday) he got annoyed with me, accused me of caring more about the money!
I'm very annoyed. I'm a lone parent, I wouldn't say I'm struggling for money and £100 might not seem like a lot but to me it's the principle. I lent it him in good faith that he'd pay it back, I understand that people have bills and things happen but the reason I lent it him in the first place is because he "overspent at a stag do" which isn't really my problem. I'm happy to help out a friend but I feel like he's taking the p*ss a bit now and it's a shame because it's put me off ever lending to friends again. AIBU?
