Plus: I’m reconsidering our friendship because of the cruise deposit issue.
: My friend “Harry” is an alcoholic. A few years ago he ended up in the hospital facing organ failure due to his drinking. Amazingly, he survived.Ask Amy: Grandma’s diary told a scandalous story. Should I track down the family?
Recently, another friend told me that Harry commented that it would probably be OK for him to drink a glass of “good” wine.I was shocked to hear that Harry is considering drinking again.I feel like I should say something to him, but is this any of my business?You should extend and continue your friendship with Harry by spending time with him, if possible, and by keeping in touch with him.
If he expresses his theory about “good wine” directly to you, you could ask him, “Based on what you’ve learned in AA, what do you think you should do? What does your sponsor say?”I paid a $900 deposit to guarantee the cruise for both of us, nine months in advance. It was understood that my friend and I would split the total cost of the cruise 50/50. This includes the deposit and the remaining $2,000 that would be due, plus any other related costs.
Yes, reimbursing you for half the cost of the deposit would have been the decent thing for your friend to do. After all, she could have gone ahead to use her half of the deposit by simply accepting your offer for her to enjoy the cruise with someone else. Instead of broadly hinting, you could ask her, outright: “Are you willing to reimburse me for your half of the cruise deposit?”If your friend wants to go on another cruise with you, you could let her plan it and also pay the entire deposit.
