I have NC just in case. Really prepared to be told I am being unreasonable. Here's the thing. I made a friend almost 2 years ago, she moved to my hometown and I went out of my way to help her out with various issues. A friendship blossomed, we've been out for meals, kids have played together, the usual.

He DS plays guitar and so does mine. Her son's guitar teacher was doing a gig at a local venue and she told me that she had 4 tickets the morning of the actual event. She was hoping to find 2 people who would want to go with them but hadn't found any, so I said I'd think about it.

I had a wisdom tooth removed on Friday so I didn't feel up to the gig so I asked my friend if she minded my husband going with DS instead, she said absolutely not.

Anyway, what happened is that my friend, having got these 4 tickets free, actually sold 2 of them to my husband, and not even cheaper, but the same price that they cost everybody else. In addition my DH also bought a round of drinks for everyone but my friend didn't.

I'm bothered by this but I'm not sure I should be.

Let it go

You either like her and trust her, or you don't.

Okay I will, or at least try. Thank you.

I know people who play in bands and if the didn't charge their friends, they would get nothing - she probably paid for them

Could you ask her?

Maybe she hadn't paid for the tickets yet, but would owe the money when sold, or after the gig when she next saw the teacher. Believing the best will make you feel better and help to preserve the friendship, if that's what you want. However, I would watch whether she is mean in the next situation!
