For the last few months, I’ve tried to get in touch with Racquetball Guy. NO, not because I want to get back with him. More so because I want him to pay me back the money he owes me. The expenses associated with purchasing the house are piling up and I could really use the money to cover fees. But having no luck! He is ignoring my emails, phone calls and text messages. This makes me angry on so many levels; I almost don’t know what to do with myself.
Truth be told, if I was in Chicago, I’d probably take him to court. But I’m here in London, so I have to gentle try and get him to do the honorable thing. Now I’m not writing about this here because I want to embarrass him. Heck, if I could wipe the whole experience from my memory (not necessarily the relationship), I’d be perfectly happy. I’m just extremely frustrated by the fact that yet again I offered assistance to someone in need and I’m the one having to chase them to fulfil their obligation. It’s just so infuriating. Further confirmation that I should never lend money I can’t afford to loose which now means, I won’t be making any future loans no matter how dire the plea.
