Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In any relationship, there needs to be a certain amount of trust and reliability. If you feel like your friend, partner, sibling, or parent can't be there for you within reason, it may be a relationship you have to distance yourself from. 

In this Reddit thread, these two women agree to move in together. They see many apartments, they sign a lease, and the original poster (OP) moves out of her apartment. Just when it's time for them to move into the new place together, one of the friend's decides to ghost the other. Doesn't answer calls, texts, nothing. OP finds herself in a very difficult situation, and chooses to drop all of it and get an apartment for herself. 

In situations like these it's always better to take the high road. It's one thing to bail last minute, but it's another to not say anything beforehand.

    anyway then hitting you with her sob story. Thankfully you now have a place you can afford on your own. Do not let her in, she'll never pay and she'll never leave.

    together, leaving you in a vulnerable position. Despite your attempts to reach her, she offered no explanation or apology, forcing you to find a new place on your own. When she finally contacted you a month later asking for help, she still

    didn't explain her actions. It's reasonable to feel uncomfortable around her after being left stranded, and setting boundaries for your own well-being doesn't make you wrong.

    flingebunt 20h ago It seems she was trying to get you to pay the deposit and basically take on the lease and all the responsibilities while she would move in at her whim and maybe not even pay on

    time if at all. She had her chance to arrange a place to live with you together, and now it is too late. I have had people do that to me before. I mean, it is good to help out a friend, and the risk for you would be less financial

    for your current situation and more just her being annoying and unreliable. But you don't need that in your life.

    babecakesss 19h ago Your friend's sudden disappearance and lack of communication left you in a precarious position, making you feel almost homeless. This would understandably cause significant stress and frustration.
