Am I in the wrong?
Tess asked:
I'm single & have lived alone for 18 yrs. I'm unemployed & doing SOME housecleaning making VERY little money to get by. I have NO family to loan me money & NO assets to sell for cash & a '94 Civic that's NOW needing various repairs. Rents due & I DON'T have it & have NO place to go. I asked a girlfriend I've known for 30 yrs to move in & SPLIT the rent, etc., for a couple of months to avoid eviction. My girlfriend agreed since she too has money issues BUT, she HAS family whom have given her thousands, a 2004 PT Cruiser, 2005 fully loaded Ford Focus, a Harley Davidson, lots of nice jewelry, an earth contact home she's waiting to move into as soon as her ex-husband moves in 2 months, IRA's & retirement savings & a marine gentlemen whom she practically lives with PLUS she makes approx. $700 or more doing internet real estate AND she has a 17 yr son.
My girlfriend & I agreed ONLY she would move in while her son lives with a classmate until he graduates H.S. next May.
Without 1st discussing with me, she's moving her son in too BUT tells me she is paying $250 of the $500 rent & HASN'T found the time to arrange the cost of her paying half (1/2) of ALL the utilities PLUS cable/internet. ALL my furniture including my washer/dryer will be used EXCEPT for her son's bed.
I have MY ex boyfriends laptop & plan to sell his laptop to help pay a portion of my rent due. I have counted on selling it since I have NO other assets. etc., to get some cash I DESPERATELY need. My girlfriend WANTS the laptop for her son & says she will give me $75 BUT I can get $150. I've told her this, it pissed her off so she contacted MY ex boyfriend (BEHIND MY BACK), Now MY ex boyfriend says he'll just let her son "use" the laptop.
I'm EXTREMELY pissed since she has been FULLY aware of my plans to sell the laptop for DESPERATELY needed cash & unlike her, I DON'T have big assets NOR family NOR a marine boyfriend---I HAVE NOTHING.
*** I have the laptop in MY possession and MY ex boyfriend does NOT & has NOT cared I have his lap top. I've budgeted $150 & decided NOT to sell her the laptop since she wants to pay me ONLY $75 for it even BEFORE she went behind my back to MY ex boyfriend & I DON'T care if this pisses her off. Am I in the wrong? How would you feel?

No, you’re not in the wrong at all. But it sounds like you and this friend should maybe review your friendship and living arrangements.
Well in my honest opinion you have alot of things going on that you need to get taken care of. You are upset because your friend told your ex bf you were going to sell his laptop to her for 150 and she only wants to give you 75 for it…then she is only going to pay 250 of the 500 rent. Okay so you have nothing to sell but the laptop you have no old clothes, no old shoes, no furniture that you can sell to help with the rent to get you through this and other months.
What’s going on?? You are cleaning up and don’t have a second job…if this lady has all this money why are you not just telling her look if you aren’t going to do what you say then you gotta go. I understand you need help but not that type of help…you also have to think she has a young teenage son why wouldn’t he live with you all…she can’t just let him go to someone else’s house there not his guardian she is….Okay so getting to the calling the bf thing…how she get his #? I would be concerned about that and he can’t tell her anything about a laptop that he doesn’t possess…you are good on that one. Another thing….I would bust my ass to get another job to keep me feed and a roof over my head you don’t have any family….what about your church are you going to church there are places out there that help people that aren’t able to help themselves I would def check them out and I would use this internet time to get a new job that paying something so you wouldn’t have to depend on someone else.
Good luck
