PSA: I quit a 7 year friendship over a $2,400 loan and I think the real moment was when I checked his Venmo
My buddy Derek owed me $2,400 from a truck repair in 2021, and I kept telling myself it was fine because we go back to grade school. What tipped me off was scrolling his Venmo last Tuesday and seeing a $650 payment to a golf course in Scottsdale that same afternoon. I had been the one doing something wrong the whole time by treating the silence as no big deal instead of just asking him directly. So I quit texting him, sent one last message with the number, and told him I was done being the bank. Do you think I should have given him one more chance to explain before cutting it off?
