The Friend Who Never Paid You Back

The situation

You lent a friend some money — not loads, but enough that you noticed it gone. "I'll pay you back tomorrow," they said. They meant it, probably. But tomorrow came and went, and so did the day after, and now it's been ages and they've clearly forgotten, or are hoping you have. You haven't forgotten. Every time you're together it sits there in the back of your mind, a small itch. But bringing up money feels awkward — like you're being petty, or like you care more about a few coins than about the friendship. So you keep not mentioning it, and the not-mentioning is slowly turning into a quiet little resentment. You don't want to lose the money. You also don't want to lose the easiness between you. Right now you're losing a bit of both.
