Expensive friendship

For a decade we had this mindset that dating was the only expensive thing to engage in. Not the female species of course,Im talking to the male species who have suffered under the demanding enslaring expectations of their girlfriends.

They have endured so much just to ensure they stay in a relationship doomed to fail. But the 2010s years have seen a significant portion of the notion change to friends. The expensive friendship some people are struggling to maintain.

Here is a small story of how I perceived this  expensive friendship thing. Spencer and I have been friends for as long  as I can remember.  We grew in the same neighborhood since childhood and our friendship did not stop after going off to different colleges.

Recently we reconnected and a lot had changed, not our friendship though he had met other significant people who had become close to him. About a week ago he asked me for 5k to help one of his friends and I obliged. I did not even ask back , after a few days he came and asked the same, of course I obliged,gave him the money and never asked questions.

Yesterday he did the same, I know many say third time is a charm but in this case, it was not. I wanted to know why he is borrowing money . To my ultra expectations he was doing this to keep his friend happy. As much as helping is a noble thing to do, this case was total different. This was draining him, he never wanted to say no to this friend when he asked for help. 

He is currently mad at me because I said no to him.
