When I was a kid, I had a best friend. We did everything together. He was closer to me than my brothers were. Well we stayed best friends and when we were both in the service he asked to borrow $350. This was 15 years ago and he has avoided me for years afterward. I just gave up ever getting the money or salvaging the friendship. I was crushed that my friend would destroy our bond over $350! I would have been ok if he paid me $20 a month. Instead, that was it.
Yesterday my brother sees him in a store and my former friend gives my brother his number and says "I still owe John some money, have him call me". I am conflicted over this. I put this friend out of my life and left him for dead. My brother seeing him brought back a lot of painful memories of how he acted toward this whole affair. My wife tells me "just get your money back and be done with it" but I don't know. I'm not sure I really want to talk to him again. What would you do?
