I need some unbiased advice and am hoping to get some input from my fellow wedding wirers!
‘Bree’ and I have been friends since high school but we haven’t been close in years. Bree recently moved out of home with her partner ‘Tom’. Now that she lives out of home, she still hasn’t grasped financial responsibility - ie she was crying to us a few months ago that Tom couldn’t find work and she wasn’t sure how she’d pay rent, and not even days later she went to the hair salon and spent $400 on a hair makeover.
Anyway, Bree and Tom are now working again but Bree has started stealing and to make matters worse, she brags about it. Ie she hosted people for a BBQ and bragged about how she didn’t pay for a single part of the cheese platter. More recently she mocked a mutual friend of ours for paying for items when they were at Target.
At first I thought it may have been desperation having struggled financially for a while, but Bree and Tom both work now and she still steals (and brags about it) so others and I think she does it as she doesn’t know how to budget her income and steals things so as to have ‘more’ money to pay for things like drinks when she goes out.
Unfortunately Bree is the type of person that would absolutely go off the rails if anyone spoke to her about this and tried to reason with her or help her budget in future. There are other things Bree has done which I haven’t approved of but I feel like this is the nail in the coffin for me and I don’t really think I can continue to be friends with someone lacking so much dignity and moral standing.
Would I be wrong for cutting contact with Bree over this?
