I left my ex-boyfriend after graduation from university, because I suddenly wanted to leave him. Maybe I never loved him. I accepted this relationship just because I don't want to be alone. So I felt terribly sorry for him, but still can't go back to him any more. I hurt him deeply. I believe so. One year later, he contacted me for borrowing money. Since I felt sorry for him, I didn't say a word and gave him 5000. It was later he told me that the money was for his best friend. I was a little angry about this bacause my ex-boyfriend is still at graduate school. He doesn't have the ability to pay me back in the near future and he did this not for himself but for his friend. I can't understand. In my law, helping friends should be within one's financial ability. If I can 't return the money in time, I won't ask for it at all. So I blamed him and said some mean words to him. His reacted very innocent and told me that he can do everything he can to help his friends. I was confused. Am I right? Or I am just a selfish girl, don't want to care about other people?

You loaned him the money wishing to help him out and you did. It's up to him to decide how to spend it. I understand why you would be upset. You've done your good deed. :-)
I hope he pays you back. You both seem like good people to lend money to help others in need.

Couple of things I've learned about lending money to friend and family. Don't expect to get repayed. If you do get the money back great, but think of the money as a gift and you won't be disappointed. Never ask what the money is for. This all assumes you're willing to lend money to friends and family. It's not a bad idea to make a rule against doing so, especially if you can't abide by the aforementioned rules.

I understand your point. But you really cannot help it now. Just try not thinking on it, and give him his time to get over this.
I was going through the same sometime back. Had to leave my ex-bf coz my parents dint like him. And he feels that I have cheated on him by marrying somebody else. Still, I want him to be happy always..
