Do you think this was fair? Let’s find out more…
AITA for leaving my best friend’s phone bill
My best friend (24M) and I (25M) have been through a lot.
We have been homeless together.
We moved out of our home state together.
We have done everything together for a long time.
This man and his best friend shared a phone plan together.
I decided that once I got a job and he got a job, we would go on a plan together.
It was only 50 bucks each for us. It was a cheap company to go through.
I have been on that phone plan for a little bit.
I now make decent money.
But he has been paying his friend’s share of the plan for 4 months now.
He does not have a job now. He quits every job he has because of one thing or another.
I have been paying his portion of the phone bill for four months now.
I finally decided enough is enough.
So I went to go get my own phone bill.
His friend accused him of ruining their friendship.
After everything we have been through, he said that I messed him over.
Because I left and got my own phone bill.
He has not had a job for a while.
He refuses to get a job because he does not like the jobs that are available.
He has removed me from everything.
He feels sad, and he’s wondering if he was in the wrong.
We were like brothers. I feel like I just lost a piece of me.
I am just sitting here wondering if I am in the wrong.
He would say that I am in the wrong and all that stuff.
I feel like I am not. But at the same time, I kind of feel like I am.
