I've only been a member for a short period of time, but I just love it here. Everyone is so nice here. Thanks for making me feel welcome!
I have a problem with a friend. First of all, I apologize if this is long.
I got a call from a college friend last night, inviting me to a purse party. I've heard about purse party before and my understanding is purses sold at these parties are fake . Please correct me if I'm wrong.
So I asked my friend about it. She admitted that she didn't know if the purses're real or not, but she didn't really care. "It's all for fun, you know?," that's what she said. I told her that selling fakes was illegal and that I would not be comfortable participating in that. I wasn't rude about it, I simply told her what I thought, but she got offended. She said that not everyone could afford the real things and just because I could, I shouldn't judge others who could only afford the replicas. I tried to explain that I wasn't judging anyone, I simply did not want to participate in something I was not comfortable in. She called me stuck up and spoiled, and hung up on me :cry:
I've known her for years.. we used to be really close, but over the years, we have grown apart. We do meet up once in a while to catch up. I feel horrible about what happened. I tried calling her back but she's not taking my calls. Honestly, I was not judging her or others, I was simply stating my opinion.
I would really hate losing a friend over this :cry: What do you guys think? Was I wrong? How would you handle a situation like this?
Thank you!
