Dammit! DW really needs to sign out when he is done on here! This is his wife, binah06.

Hi everyone,
I have been super stressed the last couple of months. I promiced a friend (not a close friend but I do like her) that I would help her out in her business. I would make some extra money and get free stuff and it would help her out. Well the business is not what I expected. On my first day I was just glad it was over at the end of the day.
I have all this stuff of hers that she ordered to help me out. I dont know if she had to pay for any of it. And I dont know if it can be returned even though it is only used once. She will make money off of the work I did for her but I also think she will loose some money if I tell her I cant do it.

I also signed a contract that has not been turned in yet. I am not too worried about it. I dont think the contract will be the issue.

I am working on a job offer that will severely limit my availability to help her too and I am starting school again at the end of the month.

I hate to dissapoint people and I hate hurting feelings, even people I dont know, but I cant do this. I have been stressing about it for months.

There are also other concerns about friendship loyalty between another, much closer, friend and the friend in question. I think I may have affected my friendship with the closer friend by going into business with the other friend.

I am so sick of this. I am getting this familiar feeling of regret. I feel like I always make the most stupid choices and I always end up regretting everything. Whats next? I keep making these dumb choices that have affected my life. I feel so old and beaten sometimes. I just wish everything would go smoothly for a while. I want to live comfortably with the bills paid and time to think clearly without worry. I am so tired of worrying all the time.

Thanks for listening. Advice is apprieciated.

I would just recommend that you sit down with your business partner and lay out exactly what you are able to do, exactly what you are willing to do, and let her know about your possible job. It's far better to be open and honest with someone than to make commitments that you aren't really going to be able to honor, to avoid hurting their feelings.

I'd also sit down and talk to your other friend and reassure her that you aren't taking your business partner's side and that you still value her friendship immensely.

Good luck to you... :hugz:
