I lent 2500 euros to a friend in January.

Good friend, I’ve known him for years. He told me he needed it for rent and would pay me back in two weeks. I sent it immediately without any questions.
Now it’s April.
I stayed silent because asking for your own money back makes you feel like the bad guy in the movie.
Meanwhile, he posts photos of dinners, concerts, new sneakers, trips... just living life.
And it’s no longer even about the 2500 euros.
It’s the silence. As if it never happened.
It’s incredible how money doesn’t ruin friendships, but pretending it never existed does.
