A friend of mine is currently staying with me, I don’t hide anything from her at all, and she doesn’t too. She’s my closest friend, my mum knows her very well, and her family knows me too. Way back in uni, she allowed me to stay in her house then because of financial issues and I do appreciate her. Even after we graduated, I helped her with the little I had because things were not going well for her then. She’s currently job hunting and she has to stay with me because her family relocated to another state. For some personal reasons, I stopped working and I am very broke, but thank God my family always comes through for me. I’m planning to go back to work. I noticed she’s not putting energy into getting a job, she’s just at home and we feed on the little things I have. If I want to buy anything, I must buy her own, but I don’t want her to feel entitled. Recently, I’ve been uncomfortable with her.
If I have N2k, I will spend everything on both of us just because I don’t want her to feel somehow. However, sometimes she has her own money but waits for me to spend my own money finish before she spends her own too, and I don’t like the idea of contributing money for food or groceries. If we don’t have anything to eat, I will be the one calling people up and down, she will just be there pressing her phone. I’m planning to rent a new house, she said she would like to share it with me, and I said it’s fine, but deep down I want my personal space, I want to continue to stay alone. I don’t know how to tell her so that she won’t feel I’m ungrateful. I’m thinking of giving her N60k to start a business and explaining to her we can’t rent a house together.
