Friends are like family to us. And just like in a family, friends can fight over things they don’t understand. When the people we love most break our trust, though, it’s hard to get it back.

She wrote about it on Reddit:

Me (28F) and Anna (28F) have been best friends since forever. We grew up together, went through school, first breakups, everything. Naturally, when she had her baby, I was thrilled for her. I even helped plan the baby shower and got super involved in her life as a new mom. But recently, things have gotten weird.
Anna’s son turned one last weekend, and she wanted to throw a huge party. I’m talking over-the-top: rented venue, professional catering, decorations, the whole shebang. Now, I thought we were just going to have a nice little
family-and-friends thing, but nope, Anna had a vision. Fine, no biggie. I figured she could do whatever made her happy for her son’s big day.
First of all, I never once said she could use my card, and second, I had no clue how much this catering even cost. When I asked, she shrugged and said, “Only about $500. It’s not a big deal.” $500! For food, I didn’t even order or agree to pay for.
I told her no way. I wasn’t paying for something she never asked permission for, and frankly, I didn’t have that kind of money just lying around. She acted all shocked and hurt, saying I was being selfish and that it was her son’s first birthday. As if I’m supposed to go into debt for a party I didn’t even throw!
We had a massive argument in front of some of her other friends, and I ended up leaving early. Later that night, she blew up my phone with texts saying I ruined her son’s day, that I was being a terrible friend, and how I didn’t understand how hard
things are for her right now.

“Now let’s go back a week to the party. Anna makes it sound like she’s “a little stressed” about the cost of things and how “tight things are right now.” I get it—having a baby costs a lot—but she kept talking about it all the time. She said she was in charge of everything when I offered to help with the decorations or get some snacks.
There are a lot of people I don’t know at the party, flowers everywhere, and a bouncy house. Today is the party. Ann is running around like a chicken without a head when I get there early to help set up. Then, as we were setting up the flowers, she said, “Oh, by the way, I put the cake on your card.”
I had not only not seen the food bill, but also agreed to pay for it. “What do you mean you put it on my card?” I tried to stay cool and ask. “Yeah, you know, I’ve been having a hard time,” she said as she looked at me like I was being extra. I thought you might be willing to pay for it, and I’ll repay you later. Please excuse me?! For everyone, asking me why she has my card is still a question. Maybe she looked through my things when I went to help her watch her son the day before his birthday. How did she do it? No idea, but I’ve already told my bank I don’t agree with the charge. I will look at my card to see if she bought anything else with it. It’s hard for me to believe she could hurt me like this.
