My long time bestfriend abuses from my generosity and steals money from me
Hey everyone, so I’m gonna try to make this story as short as possible. I’m questionning myself whether I should stay friend with her or not. Our friendship started 6 years ago (we were 15) and we immediately became best friends. She would always come to my house and I noticed she was stealing things from me (makeup, clothes, etc). I never told her because I didn’t want any conflict so I just stopped inviting her. The years has passed and she was living in another country so we wouldn’t see each other often which was actually good, but she always kept her cleptomany tendencies, trying to steal from me or from the stores. But since a few years, and since I have a credit card, she stopped stealing but now always wants me to pay for her things. She always pretends that her card isn’t working or that she lost her card so I am trapped with the obligation to pay for her. The first year, she only did this 3-4 times but recently she does this EVERY DAY! Oh and I forgot to mention, she always promise me that she’s going to refund me but NEVER DOES. Even if I tell her not to forget to refund me she just doesn’t. It is becoming so toxic. It is making me feel extremely bad since I haven’t got a lot of money but SHE has a lot of money. I’m really considering cutting off all the ties with her because I don’t know if a friendship with dishonesty can be healthy. What do you think ?
