I have had good friendships go to shit over coin. The funny thing is that in every case that comes to mind right now (read: this is completely anecdotal) the money was never even loaned, a former friends finances had gone to shit through their own piddling and now they think I owe them.
In case you missed the cleverly not so disguised point, it wasn't about the money, the relationship was already lost.
Funny thing is, had any of these people come to me looking for money, I would have given them the shirt off my back. Notice the word "give", Cynthetiq was dead on in that respect.
The fact that in retrospect this happened with my last 2 "best friends" scares the living daylights out of me. I had never considered it.
