Most people don’t mind helping someone they love. But they do expect them to keep their word.

This boyfriend felt the same way after lending his girlfriend money she promised to repay a few days later.

In the grand scheme of things, he really wasn’t even worried about the money, so he even gave her extra time.

But then, days passed without mention of it. So he finally decided to bring it up.

However, rather than apologizing or talking calmly, she got upset that he brought it up in the fist place.

Now, he’s left wondering whether this whole situation says more about her character than it does about the $40.

See what you think after reading the full story.

AITAH SHE GOT MAD WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT MONEY

So, my girlfriend accidentally used her sister’s card to pay for something on her Amazon account that she and her family share.

My mother asked her to order something for her, and she would pay her back, which my mother did. She sent the money to my girlfriend’s account, but my girlfriend accidentally used her sister’s card.

Well, her sister asked for the money back, and my girlfriend came to me for help. So I paid her sister back directly due to my girlfriend’s account literally being in the negative. My girlfriend told me she would pay me back on Friday.

When he asked about the money, she got visibly upset.

Friday came and went. Then Saturday. Then Sunday. Then Monday.

By early Tuesday morning, I still hadn’t heard anything, so I calmly asked her, “Hey babe, where’s the money you said you were going to give me?”

She caught a huge attitude. Instead of just apologizing or explaining, she called her mom to pay me back.

Here’s what gets me, though. Her mom lives in the same house as her sister. So if her mom had the money to pay me back on Tuesday, why couldn’t she have asked her mom to pay her sister back directly and left me out of the situation entirely?

Now, he’s unsure how to feel.

On top of that, she told me I was “odd” for asking about the money early in the morning. That genuinely confused me because I only had to ask in the first place because she never brought it up herself.

That’s what’s really bothering me. It’s not even about the $40 anymore. It’s the lack of accountability and communication. If you don’t have the money right now, just say that. Tell me, “Hey, I’m short right now, but I’ll get it to you when I can.”

I would’ve been completely fine with that. Instead, I had to follow up, and somehow me following up is what made her upset.

AITA?

Yikes! That does sound like a pretty strong response.

The phrase sounds like it fits perfectly here.

According to this reader, it was never by mistake.

Here’s someone who thinks it does represent her character.

For this reader, it may be grounds for breaking up.

Oh, the webs we weave!

It’s amazing how often people create bigger problems just to avoid one uncomfortable conversation.

This whole situation could’ve ended with a simple, “I’m a little short right now. Can I pay you back next week?”

Instead, the girlfriend involved her sister, her mom, and her boyfriend over $40. So, his question about character is actually very valid.
