Me [20f] with my ex-bestfriend [19f] told me she wants me to pay her back for everything that she has bought me. Im not doing it.
Edit: Thanks everyone who has given me advice so far! I plan on giving an update tomorrow!
We were best friends for probably 4 years. We hung out all the time had fun.
One of the major problems I have had with her is her lying about everything. She made up things daily to complain about that never really happened. She told us that her mom kicked her out of the house and shes been snapping me wrapped up in blankets in her room at her house. Not only that i was at her house a few days ago while she was supposedly kicked out.
Basically yesterday we got into an arguement because she claimed that I am using and taking advantage of her. She said that she was tired of spending money on me. To clarify, I am unemployed. I have been searching for jobs for months with no luck. I live in a small town with a poor family and the jobs here are few and far between.
She would take me to the mall and walmart and INSIST on buying me things. Everytime she bought me something I explained that she did not have to and that i could do without but she insisted in buying it for me.
Now she wants me to pay her back for everything that she bought me and I refuse. She knew i didnt have money and told her not to everytime yet she says I forced her to buy me things. I have several witnesses who were with us when she would insist on buying me things. She would say "its okay! You're my friend, it doesn't bother me." She would buy me things even when I wasn't around and give them to me. Everytime I showed my gratitude. Everytime I explained how it made me sad that I couldn't currently return the favor. We got into a huge arguement yesterday where, like i said, she accused me of using her and taking advantage of her.
Honestly I feel like I am making the right decision. And I don't legally have to pay her back anyways. What is your opinion?
Tl;dr: my friend through everything she bought me up in my face and wants me to pay her back for it. I refuse.
