Hi slightly unusual situation i would appreciate advice on.
So i was a bit short financially the last couple of days. My flatmate said he would buy an extra watch from me. He has zero problems financially right now. So i spoke to him yestrrday and yeah he was fine he would buy the watch. I spoke to him again this morning and said i really did need the money today because i had no food in the house. My flatmate freaks out if i take any of his food..understandably so even though in the past it is just things like milk and biscuits.... Ive been bedridden with illness the past few days and he did buy me sogme bread yesterday. Anyway he left for work today (nightshift) before i could remind him and was away. So he has obviously forgotten about the money or deliberately avoided wanting to give me the money. Now i have no problem if he doesnt want the watch. Its the fact he knows how destitute i am at the moment and yet he didnt help me. (weve been friends for years)
Now i think he thinks i am freeloading off him (yes i pay rent) because i occasionally nab a biscuit or use his milk if i am out. I wouldnt normally do this because i know now that this upsets him. (If its my food i am happy for him to take something as long as its not the last of it)
My flatmate also has a bad habit of letting food go out of date then chucking it away. I. know thats none of my business but its odd that he freaks if i had taken one of his oranges....but hes happy for a whole bunch of them to go bad....so nobody can eat it.
Im tempted to have a confrontation about this OR just start plans for moving somewhere else because imo a friend doesnt treat another friend like this. Yes im well aware if he thinks im a freeloader then it isnt nice of a friend to do that either......what else should i do? Just not bother eating?
