A friend of mine told me today that she needed a small amount of money and I offered to lend it to her & said she can pay me back over the next couple of weeks. I've known her for 20 years and she's only ever borrowed very small amounts once or twice - and always paid it back.
Well - DH got wind of the fact that I was going to loan her some money (we're talking an amount that he would easily spend over a couple of days), and he carried on like a port chop - in front of ds. He said that I shouldn't be lending her anything and that it's not our problem, etc etc. Mind you, I know that recently an acquaintance of his asked him for a small loan and dh gave it to him. Dh works full-time but I've also been working two days a week and feel that SURELY I can do something like this very occasionally, provided I know I can trust the person. I'm really angry that he had a go at me about it in front of ds too. What do you think & what would you do? Need some thoughts on this.
