Woman helps pay for friend's honeymoon, finds out friend tricked her into paying for it: 'They took advantage of my generosity and used it for their own selfish gain'

Some people in life are givers. It could be the friend who lets you play in their closet, and they never ask you to return the top they've let you borrow. It could be your mom who brings you a plate of cut-up fruit into your room without saying a word. What's theirs is yours, tu casa es su casa, or however it goes. These are the people who show their love silently, who don't usually have the words to tell you how much they care about you but will always show you through their actions. It's a blessing to have these people in our lives, and we should express our gratitude for them whenever possible.

When you are the giving person, there's nothing in the world that brings you more joy than to give the gifts you're able to give. Being the giving person comes with one big drawback. People who know of your giving nature might try to take advantage of it and will try to squeeze as much out of you as possible. One person came to Reddit to vent about it when she offered to pay for her friend's honeymoon, then learned her friend was taking it for granted. Read on to see how it played out.
