If someone really, seriously, lets you down do you maintain that friendship ?

hello bluepatch, Sorry to hear about the situation, you fail to mention why your friend let you down, his reasonings behind it. you know i have let down before and i have let down a friend and family before as well but i still have a good relationship with them. i let them know and understand the reason why i cant help them and they let me know why they cant help me. there are reasons that is acceptable and there are those that you would wonder if that is real or not BUT despite that i maintain the understanding that they just cant help me period. i have been through a lot in life and i have felt the sadness coz nobody is there to help and even just plain listen, i guess some people have their own problems to figure out and i am just too much for that. having said that, that is always one of my thoughts if they say NO to me. what matters is, i tried to let them know and not just end up wondering around all the what if's. i honestly feel that it is best to talk to your friend (if he is really your friend) and let him know how you feel about the situation. sometimes that is all we need to be free from the bond of negativity. i wish you all the best and i hope there is a help for you somehow. takecare

It would depend on the reason why he let me down and put me in such a bad position. Sometimes unexpected things happen which can't be helped but, if someone caused me financial hard and did it intentionally, that person would no longer be my friend.

Money troubles are the worst for friendships, all in all it is probably better not to mix friendships and money a true friend shouldn't care about your money so you shouldn't need to use it to keep the friendships even if they ask to borrow it and know you have it to spare. Thats when things like this happen, you wind up taking a step back a reassessing the wole friendship over a few hundred dollars. to me my friends are worth more than cash. But if you have your doubts on the friendship then listen to your gut instinct, it rarely fails me... lol but i have been fooled before. Friendship is supposed to be a good thing, friends are supposed to make you happy, make you laugh, make you understand, make your feel better... not make you broke for the next few months... ask yourself would this friend do this for you??

well i think if he helps u to get out of this mess and realises he was wrong and apologizes and works to get ur trust back then u can move on :)ppl do mistakes important thing is to know what it is and not repeat it
