I feel you.
I invited a (non-hobby) girlfriend over for drinks and hot tub last night.
I was really stressed out about my dad and medical complications after his recent surgery & needed some support.
I invited her to stay over in my guest room, so she wouldn’t have to risk drinking and driving.
When I woke up, she was gone & I was missing a brand new bottle of very nice tequila. It’s not the tequila that really matters, I can buy more. It’s the violation of trust and the loss of a friendship. Or what I thought was a friendship, anyway.
I even gifted her a very lovely Coach purse that I no longer use, because I know she’s been struggling financially & has been complaining about her old purse for a while now. Funny thing is I would have given her the tequila too, if she would have just asked me.
People are so disappointing sometimes. Experiencing things like that makes you just want to stay to yourself.
Thanks for your post. I needed to vent, too.
