Have you ever had someone who isn’t very involved in your life anymore ask you for money? It’s an extremely uncomfortable position to be in, to say the least.

One man recently had a friend from high school reach out to him after ten years of no contact to see if he’d help pay his daughter’s college tuition.

He’s 37-years-old, and in high school, he was best friends with a guy named Roy. When they graduated, they still remained really close. Roy got married and had a daughter named May at a young age and asked him to be her godfather.

Not long after May was born, Roy and his wife split up. At the time, he lived with a few other guys, including his friend Taylor and Taylor’s brother Jordan. When Roy had nowhere to live, he convinced his roommates to let Roy move in with them.

Unfortunately, things between him and Roy became complicated since he and Jordan never got along well.

“Jordan had never liked me from the get-go and attempted to drive wedges between my friends and me,” he explained.

“He did this whenever I wasn’t around, and I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten until it was too late. He’d make shrewd comments about my girlfriend being out of my league and my career, amongst other things, and the few people who remained my friends told me in more detail that he lied about me .”

Roy had somehow believed Jordan’s lies while living together, and as they got closer to the end of their lease, all of his roommates began conspiring against them. When the lease ended, all his roommates, including Roy, kicked him out of their arrangement.

“I was betrayed and hurt, most of all, by Roy, the person I considered a brother,” he said.

“After I got kicked out, I struggled on my own for a while. I was 24 at the time, and I had a decent job, which is the only reason I made it on my own, even if it was just barely. That career set me up well for my future, to the point that I now live very comfortably, to say the least.”

Six years after getting kicked out, Jordan finally came clean to Roy and his former roommates, admitting he made up rumors about him because he was jealous that he was dating a certain girl back then, who is now his wife.

Roy and the other roommates tried to reconcile with him, but he felt it was too late and remained in no contact with all of them.

That is, until now.

Roy recently contacted him to inform him that May, his goddaughter, recently graduated from high school. Then, he asked if he would help him pay for her college tuition since he is her godfather.

He refused because of what happened between them over the last decade and mentioned that he hadn’t been treated like May’s godfather for years.

While his wife agrees that Roy was too nervy to ask for money, his mom thinks he was wrong for turning him down.

Should he consider giving May money for college or stand his ground?
