Who is your friend?

It is a trifle story. Bored at work... I finish all my work today.

When I got Mercedes, one of my friends told me that I was stupid to get it. Because I got the car which I could not afford. Well, yeah I didn't buy it. My dad did. (haha I am still a daddy's girl!)
He kept saying me over and over, "You didn't buy it, Your daddy bought it." when we talked on the phone. I never started talking about my car. He asked me whether I bought a new car or not. Finally, he told me that I made him frastrated.
Hey, I do pay for the insurance, an extra service plan, a repair cost if I have a problem (Hope not!). I am old enough to make a living (ok ok... except a car). He is not my boyfriend or my husband. How did I do to make him mad? I thought he was one of my best friends whom I could talk pretty much everything. Now, I don't know.


Some of my friends said... He is just jealous. His parents cannot buy a car for him. He is not your friend. Real friend will always happy for you.

Do you guys have a similar problem before? Do you consider him as your good friend?

RE: Who is your friend?

I think your parents are right. It's surprising to find out later on that the friend you once had turned against you, somehow.

That's why friends who always be friends are real gems to keep... and so is your car! [:p]

I've also had my share of what you've been through, except it wasn't about my car. I don't know what ticks other people off sometimes. Even if you think you really know them, think again.

"Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt" from the movie Ronin might give you some insight

RE: Who is your friend?

You should ask "your friend" what he would have done in your situation. Then, as best you can without laughing too hard, see if you can make sense of his response. A real friend wouldn't guffaw right in his face while being a jerk.

Lose the jerk. He will unlikely remain loyal.

I agree: you’re bored at work…

LilBrat, men need to be needed. For you to already possess that which only his dreams offer you, belittles him in his mind. This man is challenged by your material accomplishments and is ignoring that which is evidently more important to you, your spiritual/emotional needs. It maybe that he is immature and will grow to understand you as a woman in need of love, not as a woman who is a possessor of things. That is for you to judge.

If he is a man with potential and for whom you may develop respect through your life, then take the time to explain the difference between the material things that anybody can buy, and the spiritual/emotional things that you desire and you believe only he can provide.

He'll get over it. Your car will eventually start having problems and that will bring it back down to earth. Too bad his parents can't afford to buy him one but then again he probably wouldn't respect it if they did.

That's beautifully written.

My version would be: He's envious and you just shrunk his dick, but he might get over it if you're understanding.

Doesn't resonate in quite the same way, damn you.
