Cheap Ass Friends

[timtim]

opinions,

i have a very good friend of nearly 15 years. in my wedding, love the guy. he dated and married a shady ass bitch with zero personality. my wife and i love having small gatherings at the house. we have had this couple over 7 times, tomorrow will be 8, in the last year and half or so. we provide all food and alcohol, as hosts do. they have never had us over for drinks or dinner and they never bring any alcohol or dessert. they have her friends over all the time for small parties.

tomorrows party was sort of imposed on us. dude immediately starts crying the blues about his budget. WE ARE ALL ON BUDGETS! i tell him im cool with the dinner, we will pay for food but we are not getting the alcohol (we dont drink) and if he wants in on some weed, he has to pay in. he then starts to back out of the party because he needs to save his money.

my wife is alittle fed up with this couple. they spend money on themselves but are CHEAP as fuck when it comes to us and we have taken care of these people nicely over the years. my wife said, prior to the imposed party tomorrow, that we are not having them over anymore till they reciprocate. after the imposition, she wants me to say something. i told her that would cause issues and we will just call tomorrow it and if they try and impose then ill tell him to start pulling his own weight.

opinions please.

things should rightfully be a 2way street, never give expecting but goddamn in that long of a period time and its just a one way street I would stop hosting,.

There's your answer.

Plus you need new friends. If they are going to be this cheap it is just going to cost you more money to host more parties for them. Don't even get me started on the mental mind f*#k they are putting on you.

I would not have them over anymore either.
Besides, I hate doing couples stuff.

our other friends are polar opposite. its this one couple. tomorrow is it. we never expect anything, but i would never show up for a party without a dessert or bottle of grey goose/ketel one.

this same couple was in charge of dessert for a big christmas party we had. we catered it but asked for pot luck in the form of alcohol and he said he got the desserts. we had about 30 people over. motherfucker showed up with an entemans crumb cake. my wife threw it out in front of him and in front of about 8 people told him when you take responsibility for dessert for a party you dont go jew style and spend 4 bucks.

i hate when ppl just don't get it. this couple should feel ashamed of themselves. tough spot man

I agree with all that is said above. He needs to quit his complaining.

my wife is PISSED. she has been saying this for a few months now. tomorrow is definately it, but i feel bad. this is a close, good friend. his woman is the reason for all this we feel. she hates my wife and i. my other very close friends wife actually said something in a joking/non-joking way about how they have never hosted us for anything and he laughed it off, like it was funny - but it wasnt.

If the wife is pissed, it's gonna come full circle to you in more ways than one and trust me YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

If you still have to be friends with the guy just do stuff with him one on one.
