Hi all,
I have know my best friend for 10 years. We are in our late 20s. I would say we are more like sisters than friends and have been through a lot together. Often we have been each other's only support system.
We work in the same field and she got a £2000 referral when I joined the same agency as her. Obviously, she would not have got that referral if I hadn't joined.
We live together and initially she had said we should use the money to pay for household expenses, the weekly food shop, nice dinners together etc. Of note she was the one who told me excitedly about the referral bonus, otherwise I would have never known, as the company emailed her directly.
When we next did our food shop (we always did this together) I asked if we should use the money to pay for it (it was on a pre-loaded credit card. In the past one of us would pay for the whole shop and we would split it after). She then became a bit awkward and said she would actually like to just keep the money to herself as money has been a bit tight recently.
AIBU to feel like because she only got this referral bonus because I joined the agency, it should be shared?
