Would u have ended a friendship over this?

Ange is living with a rich guy who supports her. She is 45 and not working. Call me intolerant, but I don’t like that type of female. I like them strong and independent. She apparently sensed that and lied about it…and when I confronted this new friend, saying she lives in an expensive neighborhood, she said she told the truth. End of story.
Opinions?

She's filching off her rich guy friend. Probably epitomising the use of the 666-rule of dating.

I'm not a woman but I wouldn't be friends with someone who lived an 'intentionally useless' lifestyle.

@zonavar68 Could just be a port in the storm - a temporary thing - I'm sure the guy is getting some "benefit" quid pro quo.....it's really hard to know, but one thing is for certain: The world is a cruel place.

@zonavar68 exactly, there is no future in it. All my GFs are working or retired with good incomes. It rubs me wrong when a woman purposefully depends on a man for everything. I told her he is the boss bc money is power…she replied “Ik”

I don’t always agree with my friend’s life choices and they don’t always fit with my own values. However I don’t judge them for it. You never really know what someone’s going through. I prefer strong independent women as friends too. However some are with men due to finances and I wouldn’t stop being friends with them because of that. How does it impact you what she does?

@Notladylike I’m a feminist, ok? I believe women should be independent. I don’t respect her type. I didn’t tell her that, but I ended it…besides she is going back to Korea…maybe won’t return.

End it? Definitely not. It sounds like her “ lie” was one of avoidance because she liked you and enjoyed your friendship.

Her taking advantage of her femininity isn’t a crime. It’s just how society works. That doesn’t mean she’s not lonely or have issues of her own to deal with.

That said, as a man it’d be a red flag. When I was divorced I stayed far away from women that represented themselves, often unintentionally, as arm candy. Been there. Done that. Have a career.

Seems like a pretty shallow relationship for "friends" if you weren't aware of her situation and she felt the need to lie about it. Acquaintances perhaps?

I have friends who have made bad decisions and who made lifestyle choices that I don't approve of. That said the lying about it would bother me.....but so would someone feeling the need to confront me about my choices.

If you are friends you both will find ways to work through it. If you can't, there wasn't much there to begin with.

@bowman81 true..

People come in all sorts of stories but I wouldn't want my friends to be that much critical of me...
So if for whatever reasons I were to be so critical of them, I would let them go yes, for the sake of both..:)

Just because you don't like the lifestyle of others, isn't away end a friendship... just because she is living with someone that takes care of her doesn't mean she is a bad person don't shame people, don't be so judgmental.....
Wiseacre · F
Ik, but I don’t respect her type of person.@masterofyou
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@Wiseacre well you don't have to o... Then if you feel so strongly about it why are your asking about the situation?? I guess just move on then .... You won't find perfection in life, humans have faults and flaws you have to deal with them...
Wiseacre · F
@masterofyou bc she lied to me.

Did you have fun with her? Did she seem kind? Was she a good listener? If the answer to all those things was yes, I think would have kept the friendship regardless.
fun4us2b · M
Maybe that is the best she thinks she can do....

She might not be so proud of it even though she doesn't say

It doesn't mean she's bad. Weak maybe, but not bad...

Or maybe bad....but that would need to be seen....

Of course not. I'm not that judgemental. I'd only end relationship with people who act like they are something more than me for whatever reason.
Wiseacre · F
@CrazyMusicLover “more than u”…meaning?
You just described 99.9% of women
@Wiseacre I don’t joke, I take SW very serious!
Wiseacre · F
@Nunlover sad commentary
@Wiseacre sad world by the women
More proof that SW definitely needs an 🙄 reaction emoji.

You want to end a friendship over something that has nothing to do with you?
Wiseacre · F
@Ferise1 yes, bc I can’t respect it.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
@Wiseacre well you must have enough friends
Wiseacre · F
@Ferise1 I do, all independent.
