How do I approach this sticky situation with a friend who has stricken me from his list? ?



I was looking for a house to buy. A friend had a house for sale that seemed pretty nice and the friend was struggling financially. We worked it out that I would try to buy the house for a certain price to keep my friend from getting into further financial trouble. The price was below what he owed so I had to work it out with the bank. In the meantime to help him out with the payment, I moved in and paid rent every month. He did not keep up on the payments, he spent the money on everything but the mortgage payment. While I was in the process of negotiations with the broker and mortgage company I found out that the house was going through foreclosure. The bank would not budge on their asking price. I was concerned that I would not be able to come to an agreed upon price for the house, the place would be foreclosed on and I would be out of a place to live so I looked around for other places to buy because it did not look like anything was going to happen with this deal. I found a place that was almost the same as my friend’s place. There was no negotiation with this house. It was nearby and had the most of same things that I was looking for in a house, some things were even nicer than my current place. The market was good, interest rates down, and I made an offer that they accepted. I told my friend and he immediately became mad at me because he said that I had agreed to buy his house and that would keep him from destroying his credit. He became really upset with me and our 15+ year friendship was on the rocks. He decided that he did not even want me around and stopped emailing me and did not call me anymore. He did not invite me to his son’s christening, his son and daughter are my God children!

I am very worked up about this. We have mutual friends and have been friends for a long time. I was only trying to help out a friend but when things were not looking promising, I had to take advantage of the market and what was in front of me.

Do you think that I am wrong to consider this person my friend when he won’t even allow me at his home or children’s events because I did not buy his house?

How can I communicate with him without apologizing? I don’t feel that I did anything wrong.

He keeps saying that we were supposed to be friends and that he can’t understand how I could go and buy something else when he is a friend and going through a hard time. He has a huge house, beautifully furnished, three kids, new cars, toys, trips. He cannot afford the second house because he does not take care of his current financial obligations before taking on luxuries. I just feel that the blame is being placed squarely on my shoulders when I am just a tiny fraction of the entire equation? Am I wrong?

I just want to know what to email him without apologizing. I am not sorry that I was taking care of myself and my family first.
Thanks,

Should I be worried if a female coworker is emailing my husband as a friend?



my husband and me are around 30 and have been married for 6 years. our relationship has been rocky but the feelings are still quite strong and so we have held it together. We both work for the same place but in different departments and different shifts. A female coworker of my husbands who is a bit younger and thinner(thats my insecurity) has recently started emailing my husband and becoming friendly with him. She seems like a nice girl and I want to believe that this is all just being nice- but It still bothers me that this is happening. It started with them making each other CD’s because my husband listens to his ipod at work and i guess they started talking about the music that they like. Then she emailed him to ask him what he thought of it and if he had a favorite song on it. I didnt know until I found the CD with a nice typed out list of all of the songs. Nothing too romantic but it freaked me out. Then I stumbled upon an email when he didnt know- It was her asking him to go play paintball with her-and the invite was to noone else just him. He hadnt even opened her emails but Im sure they talk at work. She also invited him to her birthday party- she also has a boyfriend-but I know this doesnt always matter. The thing that bothered me is he didnt tell me-once again I just found the invite and he said he might go when I asked. I dont want to be a jealous neurotic wife but this keeps tugging at me. I think my husband is great and honest and they may be friends as coworkers but I think anything can happen if the conditions are layed out, especcially if they get along well and are hanging out and discussing personal things over private email like likes and dislikes. Is it flirting? is it inappropriate? I let him know I was uncomfortable with it and he says I have nothing to worry about.

Emailing?



What type questions should I ask to someone that I’m emailing who lives in another county. Also what should I tell her about my self.

Emailing a guy.would this bother you too about him?



There is this guy I have been exchanging emails with for many months now….I consider him a good online friend, we have a good email rapport we’ve met up a couple of times for coffee.

The one thing that really irks me though is that he never uses my name to address me in any of his emails….would that bother you, too?

When I’m emailing my friends, I often use their names, my friends do that too….so I guess I find it a little unusual that he does not. He knows my name, I sign off with my name sometimes….it’s such a little thing, I’m not sure why I’m making a big deal out of it….lol.
