Not any more thank you. I've decided I need some new friends with healthier behaviour. And sadly, a new best friend especially. Totally piss-taking pushing her agenda on me just because her dh is leaning on her. It is not my job to step into someone else's life & pick up the slack because their poor life choices have had undesirable consequences. I'm being deliberately vague here obviously but this couple know I'm on minimum wage and they've just received a very large inheritance. Yet I'm being coerced into picking up the tab for some of their outgoings. When I say coerced, I mean really heavily pressured again & again. Then they brought in the flying monkeys. I was forced to keep repeating no, no, no. I hope I've heard the end of it now but it's a big shame. I've lost my best friend. Tell me I'm not alone in this.

Wtf? Why do they think you should pay for them?

She was never your best friend.

What is their reasoning why you should pay for their outgoings?

This is a little too cryptic to offer any advice other than to say it sounds like you've done the right thing but it also sounds like you should have said no and put some boundaries in earlier

It's sort of hard to know whether this is your own hyperbolic view of the situation or what factually actually happened. In any case, friendships end and people cut contact all the freaking time.
